Art on Boston University’s campus:

Just back from a trip home to Ireland and am pooped. Got up at 6am (1am EST) and drove up to Dublin Airport from Donegal Town via Omagh. Got there about 10.30am, would have been earlier but the car was running on fumes and I had to stop for petrol. As I was whizzing down [...]

I won’t be in Boston for the fireworks show on July 4th. But if you show up at the last minute to see the fireworks, they start at 10.30pm, you can head onto to Harvard Bridge, commonly know as Mass Ave Bridge and get some decent view of the fireworks. The last time I watched [...]

The view from my desk at my new job isn’t bad: Much better than looking at the tweed walls of the cube in the cube farm of my old workplace. And, non-Donegal Tweed at that, sure even the Donegal Tweed is now made in Morocco, and the only native Donegal Tweed is made by artisans.

Went for a walk along the Charles yesterday, what a great day, and it’s was nice and quite down there and a great to relax, chill and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. And the MIT’er were out sailing too and it almost looks they were sailing on the ice. And [...]

I was looking through my Flickr photostream and realised that I’ve taken a fair number of pics of the tower at Boston’s First Baptist Church. It really is a splendid old building: The doorway: From across the street: From down the road: From afar: And a close-up of one of the angels on the tower:

A while back I scanned some old postcards of Donegal Town that I borrowed from my Aunty Isabel. They’ve been pretty popular on flickr.com, with this one getting over 900 views: And this one getting over 1800 views: Both of these were taken sometime in the 1970′s and I can’t take credit for taking the [...]

A very unique design. It’s supposed to be a ruined house on a hill in Ireland. You walk around the base of the memorial, towards the water. Go through a short tunnel, which has speakers playing the voices of people talking about the famine (including Bono). And your in a ruined house. You walk out [...]

One of my favourite pics from a trip home in 2006:
