Enoch Burke was released from Mountjoy Prison by the High Court yesterday. He had not purged his contempt. In fact, I am not even sure he was invited, as he usually is, to purge it. But the Judge took the view that Burke’s preference, for whatever reason, was to stay in jail. So he released… Continue reading Enoch Burke-where, and how, will this end?

Is overexposure even possible on the internet?
I have got my video creation and editing process down efficiently. I can make and edit and publish a video on my YouTube channel in a short period of time.

Writing with a fountain pen on good quality paper
I have been toying with the idea of incorporating the use of my iPad into my everyday workflow. But if I do, I would have to give up the joy of fountain pen on paper. And that is not something I am prepared to do, yet. I have a notebook, a physical one, in use… Continue reading Writing with a fountain pen on good quality paper
