Just to give you all a heads up, I’m currently in the process of switching blogs, so don’t expect to see many posts appearing anymore here. In fact there won’t be any at all. After this one. So keep an eye on http://www.adammaguire.com/blog instead of here as of now. Thanks, Adam
Well, it took much longer to get back online that I thought it would, I’ve missed a lot and there’s no point in going through it all now. At present I am in the middle of moving my blog to WordPress, I think it’s the right thing to do now that I have (or had) [...]
It’s been about 2 weeks since my last post and I’ve just realised that it wasn’t the explanatory one that I intended on putting up. Basically my life has kind of become a jumbled mess of confusion with my move to Wolverhampton. For those of you that don’t know, I’m over here for a year [...]
Fellow bloggers should take 5 minutes to check out Piaras‘ latest post; ‘Tips on writing content for your blog’. Plenty there for budding bloggers like myself to take in, and a lot that I personally can learn from. I think it’s about time I put more time and thought into my posts, rather than just [...]
Fresh off the wires! Probably the oddest of all the reported bidders, it’s difficult to see eBay making any links between their existing empire and their new baby, but who knows. Google would have been a more likely buyer given its recent launch of Google Talk. The app is missing that certain something that Google [...]
With Podcasting hitting the mainstream hard with thanks to companies like Apple, it is natural (if not a little premature) for people to begin heralding the next big step in Citizen Media; the Video podcast/blog. Some see this as being the thing that will end the short but sweet life of the podcast, but it [...]
This hasn’t gotten half the coverage that the Intermix Media buyout recieved, but in my opinion it’s just as important. NewsCorp have aquired IGN Entertainment in their second big online purchase. That means that IGN.com, gamespy.com and rottentomatoes.com (and more) are all now under the control of the Fox News owners. After buying Intermix, creators [...]
It’s bad enough that Barbara Bush publically commented that New Orleans refugees are doing well from the disaster, or that Dick Cheney had to deal with a pretty straight talking survivor on national television, but when the American media begins to bite back (and bite back hard) after years of hibernation you can be sure [...]
What a week to be away from a computer. The on going crisis in America has certainly put the current US administration under the spotlight. The US media has seemingly found its teeth once more and is finally representing those who want answers. The politicians have given those in control the space they needed to [...]
Check the first two comments of my last post… you’d think that the spammers would have some sense to even try and make their comments seem genuine, but then again I guess that’s what makes them so spammy. Maybe I should remove anonymous posting again. In other news I am due to depart for Scotland [...]
