I knew that one day my big mouth of would be good for something other than debating trophies in school. They go nicely with my unforgettable St Kieran's College "you're in a famous sports school but you're shit at sports so here's a leadership award for being in the school play, ye poof" trophy.

Is the article online? Even if I could still afford to get the Irish Times over here, it would be weeks away. And thanks for the kind words. True I try to make up for in passion what I lack in design, but that's the key at the moment--get out there, see what you can do, see how people respond, and as you polish things change the mix until it works. Another thing--if you take a page from the Underachiever's Guide to Sucess--aim for the middle to begin with. There is certainly much better stuff out there, stuff I can't compete with. But there is far worse stuff too. From the middle there is less distance to fall, and equally less distance to try for the top. And it works. I just filmed a segment with a lifestyle show host on cooking healthy, seasonal foods. I'm glad I picked easy recipes because I was too busy paying attention to what the cameraman was doing, and how the shots were set up. . . .

The timing was fantastic as I was in talking to potential investors yesterday and subtly mentioned it. Actually not even remotely subtly. As I started the Powerpoint I said "oh and by the way, I'm quoted in The Irish Times today on this exact topic". I’m just like Jade Goody.
