The Blog of G

Yes, I’m off to The Irish Blog awards tonight, I was thinking that this would be a reasonably casual affair. Boy was I wrong! My Sweetie (Ellybabes) and her Mum (Grannymar, nominated in the Best Podacst and Best podcaster categories) have invaded and taken over the Kitchen.

They could be preparing for war, for all I know. The warpaint is out, there seems to be a lot of discussion and debate over God only knows what and it’s only 2pm!!! the awards aren’t kicking off for another 4 hours, this is serious preparation.

Me, I’ll pop off in a while for the 3 S’s (2 of them are shower and shave, the third, well, I’ll leave you guessing) Pull on some pants and a shirt hell I might even go the whole hog and splash on some aftershave seeing as how it’s a formal occasion :p

That’s what I love about being a bloke, Preparing to go out is soooo much easier.

Anyways, If your heading along then I’ll see you there, if not, come back tomorrow and I’ll hopefully have a report on all the important thing’s that happen this evening.

Good luck Grannymar

Well Elly’s presentation just ended and despite getting the award for longest overrun of the day, I thought it was fabulous, yea I’m biased but no one left for the whole thing (that I noticed anyway) and there was a large round of applause. So congratulations sweetie.

For those that weren’t here I will be uploading a movie to youtube once I work out how to do that, I’ll place a link here once I have done that. I wasn’t the only one recording it either, Donncha was using his macbook to record as well. So I’ll link to his as well once it’s available.

A large part of Elly’s presentation was to do with a particular blog and Audiocast this one. Elly will also be posting her presentation later so I will link that as well.

Once again, congratulations sweetie

*update* You tube didn’t like the length of the video so Elly uploaded to blipTV instead. the movie below starts the presentation and Dooncha’s recording (see link above) follows on from where I ran out of memory on my camera (sounds like an excuse for bigger memory cards )
