Headrambles

Since it’s not a very visual website you’ll have to excuse me for abusing the cover of the author’s upcoming book instead of my usual use of a logo …

Headrambles is one of those blogs that brings a smile to your face.

To be perfectly honest on more than one occasion its author’s ramblings have had me in fits of laughter – the kind of laughter that doesn’t mix too well with a cup of coffee (my monitor can attest to this!)

“Grandad” who pens the random rants over on Headrambles is one of Ireland’s older bloggers. He’s also one of the funniest, so I’d heartily recommend him to anyone with a sense of humour (NB: if you’re a politically correct nut you may not approve!)

With over 400 separate forums covering every imaginable topic the site attracts thousands of visitors every day and clocks up several million page impressions per month.

The site has been running since 1998 and has one just about every award going.

Comment on Images Easily With Finetuna

Being able to upload an image from your computer and add notes to it can save a lot of time and hassle.

Images are easier to understand than words!

Finetuna is a pretty cool service which allow you to do just that.

You can grab an image off your hard drive. Upload it and add comments and notes. Once you’re ready you can pass the link to it to someone else and they can continue the work and so and so on.

It’s a really nice idea and best of all it’s free!

And did I mention it was Irish?

I guess I should have done.

Finetuna is from the guys in SpoiltChild (they’ve done a lot of work for me over the years, so I may be a wee bit biased)

Download Music Legally

One of the things that I love about the internet is that it can be a wonderful equalizer. You don’t have to have a huge budget or be a millionaire to get your “stuff” out in front of millions of other people (although you’ll be lucky if a small fraction of them ever see it).

DownloadMusic.ie is a wonderful concept for both independent artists and punters alike.

They’ve even released a USB album:

Pretty cool!

Irish Web Awards

Although nominations for the Irish Web Awards are now closed it’s definitely worth a mention.

I’ll be looking forward to seeing which sites get nominated and shortlisted for the first year of this new award.

Unlike a lot of the other awards out there the Irish Web Awards are very much run as a “not for profit – cover our costs only” type event.

This hopefully will mean that more interesting submissions will be made than those you’re likely to see at a “pay to enter” type event.

Definitely one to watch!
