The 2009 Irish Blog Awards nominations have been published; the list of nominees is available here. This blog has been nominated for the category of Best Blog from a Journalist and I’d like to thank whoever put it forward for the category; I’m genuinely delighted someone felt it was worth their time to do so.

The latest issue of Business & Finance is on the shelves as we speak and on page 50 you will find this fortnight’s technology spot. As it was the first issue of the new year, a year that many predict will be a tough one, I thought I’d get some tech-savvy experts to talk about [...]
As pointed out by Frank via Twitter, State Magazine has announced that it will no longer exist in printed form due to a downturn in advertising revenue.

I hope Santy brought/brings you whatever it is you want. Last year was all about the Waits – if I get my way next year will too. So for Christmas 2008, let’s have a change of pace (while maintaining the beauty of it all). Have a good one.
