@DermotKeyes Pity they didn't show a little more footage of Lowry, though, but perhaps understandable if he's having a mare, which appears to be the case.

Nothing compares to #TheMasters on a Sunday night...

@johnfriz Wow, that's impressive, well done!

Alludium is now ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type II compliant. If agents are going to operate inside real organisations, trust becomes non-negotiable. A lot of work went into getting this right. More → buff.ly/n9FKfY2

@conoro It sure was. It was also one helluva bar tab receipt!

@mernin That's a helluva reunion!

A weekend away with old Engineering college friends must involve a discussion of tools. My 2 hammers were a weak opener. My 5 drills got me back in the game. Best comment of the trip, talking about hoarding parts/tools/screws/etc: "That’ll come in handy even if I never use it"

@conoro I watched it on a plane this week and while there were some great performances within it, it struck me as a movie that could have been a lot shorter and just as good.

Ugh I suppose this means I'm going to have to try again to finish One Battle After Another.

Taoiseach Micheal Martin poses for a photograph. He’ll be joined by Congressman Brendan Boyle for a wreath laying ceremony at Independence Hall before leaving Philadelphia for Washington DC later this afternoon.

What a treat to bump into An Taoiseach while celebrating our 25th college reunion in #Philadelphia #SETU

@MichealMartinTD It was our pleasure to bless you along the way, too 🇮🇪☘️

An absolute pleasure to take part in the Philadelphia St. Patrick’s Day parade. ☘️ The strength and vibrancy of the Irish-American community here, and the welcome they’ve given, has been incredible. 🇮🇪🇺🇸

Greetings and blessings to everyone at @rtenews from the #SETU Class of 92 on tour in Philadelphia 🇮🇪☘️

@dallascampbell @TheMonologist And one of the most chlling bad-guy performances you'll see for some time...

@TheMonologist Best film ending ever. One of the finest film ever.

@leighgriffin The Infographic feature is pretty cool, too, if you've not tried it yet.

@mernin The podcast capability is super on notebook, really nice to bring to life years of writing

I recently launched my own podcast where I'll be using AI to produce audio editions of my own published writings. The podcast is called Martello Reflections and is available on Spotify at open.spotify.com/show/668sQ5DTl… You can read more about this journey at mernin.com/blog/2026/02/l…

@leighgriffin Yeah, I've an entire other blog on the way about my battles with pronunciations, but I know they'll get better over time, too.

I completed another 365 days of exercise in 2025, covering a grand total of 1,110km via walking and running - the equivalent of 26 marathons (one every 2 weeks). You can read more about the journey at mernin.com/blog/2026/01/t…

#COYBIG 🇮🇪

Our son attended a soccer school at the @LFC Academy recently, and picked up two separate awards while there. We've shared our reflections of the trip at mernin.com/blog/2025/08/r…, with appreciation for everyone at @TramoreAFC AFC for their support and guidance.

My son's personal tribute to #DiogoJota and his brother #AndreSilva, and to everyone in the wider @LFC family, taken at #Tramore Beach in #Waterford, #Ireland 💔💔

What a tragic loss ... for his family, his friends, everyone at #Liverpool FC and the wider sporting community that all loved him so much @LFC #YNWA

Liverpool Football Club are devastated by the tragic passing of Diogo Jota.

Another terrific news day for #Waterford as we formally welcome IBM to the region. Their investment of 75 software engineering roles represents another major milestone on the journey to transform the opportunity landscape in Ireland's Southeast for the better #BetterTogether
