Facejacker (Kayvan Novak) takes over an Irish Chip Shop and injects some of his particular brand of humour to each customer who places an order. Was never a fan of Facejacker when it aired but I do admit some of this is very witty.]]> http://www.basquille.net/2012/03/facejacker-irish-chip-shop/

Another sunny day.. another tough run, although paced myself a bit better than my run on Monday. 7.85KM in 47 minutes.. was aiming for 7.5KM in 45 minutes so happy enough with that. Was aiming for more of an un-interrupted run for 3.5KM – 4KM but my initial lap of Sligo Racecourse hit me badly… [...]]]> http://www.basquille.net/2012/03/run-6-%e2%80%93-28032012-%e2%80%93-7-85km/

A quick representation of my reaction when I found out Martin Starr (aka Bill Haverchuck from ‘Freaks And Geeks’) is currently dating Alison Brie (aka Annie from ‘Community’).. .. tis madness.. MAAADNESS, I tells ya!]]> http://www.basquille.net/2012/03/bill-haverchuck-is-king/

Absolutely glorious start to the week here in Sligo with temperatures in the late teen’s / early twenties. But while the sun was beating down and it reminded me of a gorgeous summer day, it also wasn’t particularly easy weather to run in. Went for a run out in Rosses Point along the “promenade” – [...]]]> http://www.basquille.net/2012/03/run-5-%e2%80%93-26032012-%e2%80%93-4-76km/

Another run I’m not too happy with.. a poor pace and a glitch or two in the Forerunner 205 (dropping from a 5 Min/Km to a 27 Min/Km just 3 and a half minutes in). Am doing the Ray D’Arcy 5KM run on April 4th so this was the route I found on Garmin Explore [...]]]> http://www.basquille.net/2012/03/run-4-%e2%80%93-24032012-%e2%80%93-4-76km/

Not too long to wait now until the second season of Game Of Thrones which will have it’s premiere on April 1st on HBO, of course! Haven’t checked but am predicting Sky 1 will stick to their season 1 routine and show it the day after the States. I will admit I only got around [...]]]> http://www.basquille.net/2012/03/game-of-thrones-theme-mashup/

Another excellent TED Talk from comic author Rob Reid on the very skewed figures that the entertainment industry is using to justify the proposal of various copyright laws such as SOPA. Very funny, brief and to the point.. a must-watch if you’ve ever a vague interest in technology and the whole SOPA movement. You also [...]]]> http://www.basquille.net/2012/03/rob-reid-the-8-billion-ipod-ted-talk/

Gotye’s “Somebody That I You Used To Know” is prpbably the biggest song of the year so far.. it’s catchy, different and a nice break from the manufactured trash filling the charts. I believe it was a huge hit last year in Gotye’s home-country Australia but it was only when a little band called Walk [...]]]> http://www.basquille.net/2012/03/gotye-out-of-my-head/

For anyone who was lucky to grab one of the first Raspberry Pi pre-orders back in late February, it’s just a waiting game at this stage til the magical box arrives! If you’re still in the dark for what it is – it’s a full Linux-powered PC on a tiny board.. and features everything from [...]]]> http://www.basquille.net/2012/03/raspberry-pi-not-too-long-now/

Not hugely happy with this run, but we all have our off-days, right? It didn’t start off particularly well. After about 700 metres, I felt a slight stitch coming on and ran through it… but I think I pushed myself through it a little too hard. And if that didn’t make it difficult enough, a [...]]]> http://www.basquille.net/2012/03/run-3-%e2%80%93-21032012-%e2%80%93-5-05km/
