I have published various vlog type videos on my YouTube channel from time to time. I am fascinated by the vlog concept, the idea of making something interesting or useful from the ordinary, everyday, banal. Some of them have done pretty well, some have disappointed. But the one I published this week is one of… Continue reading The performance of the least edited video I have every published is surprising

Will a new Garda approach to the far right endure beyond Christmas shopping season?
The riots last week in Dublin arising from the stabbing incident in a primary school seems to have established a limit or watershed of tolerance for the insidious hate of the far right who have been emboldened in the last 12 months by inaction against their hate speech and actions. We have all seen the… Continue reading Will a new Garda approach to the far right endure beyond Christmas shopping season?
Why I’m retiring my scuffed, battered briefcase
I will be retiring my tired, scuffed leather briefcase shortly. When I started my business as a sole practitioner solicitor in 2011, I was focusing on criminal law. My focus was on trying to pick up business in the District Court, but I believed that the fact that I was only newly qualified would operate… Continue reading Why I’m retiring my scuffed, battered briefcase
An Apple Mac convert
I used to always wonder about the enthusiasm and loyalty that Apple products seemed to have for Apple fans. Mac this and Mac that was all you would hear and see online, especially amongst Americans. A few years ago, however, I bought my first Apple computer and now know what all the fuss was about.… Continue reading An Apple Mac convert
Daily or weekly vlogging
I am interested in this idea of regular vlogging. Daily vlogging was a big trend a few years ago on YouTube but tailed off somewhat when the High Priest of daily vlogging, Casey Neistat, stopped doing it. Nevertheless, I came across a guy on YouTube at the weekend who is doing it and has apparently… Continue reading Daily or weekly vlogging
A video experiment on YouTube
I am publishing what is probably the longest video I have ever published on my YouTube channel, save for Livestreams, this morning. It is a day in the life type video made on the 19th November 2023. It shows me going for my morning run on a wet November morning and then heading to Dublin,… Continue reading A video experiment on YouTube
Imagine holding a 9 year old girl hostage
Imagine holding a 9-year-old girl as a hostage. Don’t worry about why or the cause of the hostage taking or the conflict for the moment. Think about a 9-year-old girl being held hostage. A 9-year-old Irish-Israeli girl. And the side that is holding her hostage has a tremendous amount of support in Ireland, if Palestinian… Continue reading Imagine holding a 9 year old girl hostage
I bought a new camera
I bought a new camera this week, a Sony ZV-E10. It’s ideal for vlogging and making the types of videos I make for my YouTube channel and elsewhere. But it is not limited to such videos and is well capable of allowing you to make great short (or long) films if you have the ability… Continue reading I bought a new camera
Is the legal system in Ireland corrupt?
I published a video yesterday on my YouTube channel, “Is the legal system in Ireland corrupt?” and it has generated a tremendous amount of comment. Much of the comment I would disagree with, to different degrees. And I would expect that many of the opinions with which I might agree have not been published, simply… Continue reading Is the legal system in Ireland corrupt?
Making and showing good title
In any property transaction it is up to the vendor, or more accurately his/her solicitor, to make and show good title. This means that any queries from the purchaser’s solicitor as to the title being offered must be answered and dealt with satisfactorily by the vendor’s side. Any infirmities or imperfections in the title being… Continue reading Making and showing good title
