The beer in Portland, Oregon might not be as famous as the beer in Ireland, but we like to think that it measures up in terms of quality. In fact, we’re so proud of it that we’re going to be serving Portland beer - lots of it - at the annual BootsnAll holiday party this [...]

For the past year I have woken up every morning wondering what I would write about that day. When I leave the house, I carry a PDA, digital camera and mp3 recorder. When I walk into a shop, stop for lunch or even have a conversation I’m always thinking, “is this blog-able?”

It’s been a year in the ‘logue, folks and, as I promised in an earlier post, I thought it would be a good idea to have a look over the year of blogging that’s been. What follows is a review some of the highlights of the past year’s logue-ing.
Over the last year I’ve spent every [...]

847 posts later I have to say I can’t believe I’ve been doing this 2-5 times every day for 12 months. It’s been a lot of work juggling family, job, logue and music, but tremendously rewarding at the same time.

Try again in 2010.
It rhymes. It also pretty much sums up the situation for Irish world cup soccer.
While the pundits lambast the coach and more than a few Irish players nurse serious injuries, tonight’s loss to the Czech Republic pretty much means that Ireland will not be playing in the 2008 European cup.

Yep - this is what the fuss is all about.
The rugby world cup
By Seán | September 8th, 2007 | 2 Comments »
It’s one of those things I’ve never really understood. You meet these hard-core Irish guys who live in the country, listen to trad, have family with questionable political affiliations and carry a general disdain for anything anglo . . . and then you discover that they absolutely love rugby or soccer. We’re talking Man U [...]
The Irish National Tayto

Everyone knows that Ireland is famous for her potatoes. What you may not know is the reverence in which Irish people hold their potato crisps.
Specifically, their Tayto crisps.
So ingrained into Irish culture is the Tayto brand potato crisp that Irish people often refer to all potato crisps, be they Doritos or Pringles, as “Taytos.” There [...]

I’ve done a few posts on Irish travelers. Here’s a video post they’ve done themselves:
