I went to mass yesterday for the first time in many years. I cannot remember when I last went. It could have been ten years ago, but I am unsure. I can give a few reasons for my decision but the most important one, I think, has been my reading of Graham Greene novels, most… Continue reading I went to mass yesterday for the first time in many years

Making videos for fun and profit
I have been uploading videos to YouTube since 2011, St. Patrick’s Day. Originally, I did so to generate leads and clients for my solicitor’s practice. And for the following ten or eleven years I simply continued making and publishing videos and distributing them widely on social media sites, after firstly uploading to YouTube. Always with… Continue reading Making videos for fun and profit
An unhealthy obsession with a perceived wrong
I meet these individuals virtually every week of the year in my work as a solicitor, and it is pathetically sad. The person who is obsessed with a wrong or perceived wrong and they want some type of justice and will not let it go, no matter what. No matter the cost, no matter the… Continue reading An unhealthy obsession with a perceived wrong
I’ve had to close comments on my Facebook post about gender recognition
I published a post on Facebook last week explaining about the Gender Recognition Act 2015. I made the point that this piece of legislation has been on the statute books since 2015 and that applying for a gender recognition certificate was a lawful aspiration. This post, and the video comprised in it, was made in… Continue reading I’ve had to close comments on my Facebook post about gender recognition
I never voted for that
I published a video on my YouTube channel this week about the Gender Recognition Act 2015. Many commenters claimed they had not voted for this piece of legislation, and some were genuinely surprised that it was on the statute books and effective, enforceable law in Ireland. “I never voted for that”, was the common refrain.… Continue reading I never voted for that
Ernest Hemingway and my drone vlogs-the common ground
Ernest Hemingway said “He thinks I don’t know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use” (The ‘he’ he was referring to was William Faulkner.) Hemingway could tell better stories with the simpler and older and better words. I… Continue reading Ernest Hemingway and my drone vlogs-the common ground
The key to popular vlogs: story and struggle
I published a vlog at the weekend, and it has proved to be the most popular vlog to date. The reason for this is manifestly obvious: the struggle and adversity and trying to overcome obstacles. The title of the video is “I crash my drone twice on the same day”. In it I struggle to… Continue reading The key to popular vlogs: story and struggle
Is it Graham Greene’s use of similes that creates the cinematic quality in his books?
I’m listening again to the first Graham Greene novel I read or listened to, Brighton Rock. There is something about Greene’s writing that I find incredibly attractive. Throw in his little morsels of philosophy and religion, which are ever present in all of this books, and they have a depth beyond the usual spy or… Continue reading Is it Graham Greene’s use of similes that creates the cinematic quality in his books?
The power of story in creating great content for your business
A guy left a comment on my YouTube channel yesterday as follows: ”These are the best vlogs on YouTube”. The video he was commenting on was “I crash my drone twice on the same day”. I don’t, for a minute, think that my vlogs are the best on YouTube, or anything like it. But I… Continue reading The power of story in creating great content for your business
An endless supply of valuable content for your business
The Remarkable Content Toolkit is a free report by a guy from the UK, Ian Brodie, who I have followed for a long time online. His opinion about marketing online, lead generation, business development, content marketing etc. is one of the few opinions I pay any heed to. Brodie knows his stuff, without a shadow… Continue reading An endless supply of valuable content for your business
