Stephen Fahey: @PubsOfDublin

With a total of 751 pubs across Dublin even the most avid fan of the pint would be hard pushed to get to them all. If you visited a new pub every single day it would take two years to work your way through the lot. And if you only went out once a week then you'd need over 14 years. However @PubsOfDublin launched today and aims

Stephen Fahey: It’s been a busy week.

It's been a busy week. Mugabe died and a doctor in Gujurat, India performing the first Long-distance heart surgery by remote, while A.I. is now being used to monitor children's behaviour in schools in Atlanta, Georgia, and the famous Walkman turned just 40 years old. On top of that China can't stop Hong Kong protestors using the Mesh Messaging system, which saw a usage increase

Stephen Fahey: The Future

Now that holidays are over and the crops have been harvested and the kids are back to school, we start all over again. Peppers are pickling by the barrel load, to get us through the winter. Lawns are trimmed down to fluffy fuzz. And the mornings are dark again. Winter isn't here yet, but we all know it's just around the corner. Any day now

Stephen Fahey: A certain President.

Only a few years ago the election of a certain president, who ran against a certain Hillary, was marred by the interference of "internet trolls" from the other side of the world. We now know that this was largely achieved by the disruptive actions of said trolls on social media. They created hundreds of fake identities, many hundreds of thousands of memes and fake groups

Stephen Fahey: The almost end of the world

Am I the only one getting worried about these new superhot summers? All of a sudden, from the North to the South Pole, folks are wilting like underpants in a furnace and no one is talking about how messed up this is! We didn't listen when we were warned about global warming and now we're paying the price. My generation did manage to tighten the

Stephen Fahey: The hustle calls

As those of you who visit here each week know, I recently returned to school and I have been learning just how many opportunities there are to those who would avail of them. The catch is that you have to make them happen yourself. For example, if you hire a van and find a network of small suppliers who have no means of distributing their

Stephen Fahey: Help in a time of Crisis

We all face difficult times now and then, and we work through them as best we can. But sometimes we face great big steaming hurricanes of difficulty that far exceed normal life-challenges. These are the massive-nightmare-ones that we all hope even our enemies never have to deal with, the seemingly insurmountable problems that appear to spell the end of life as we know it. And

Stephen Fahey: Upside Polish Flag sighted around Ireland

Upside down Polish flags have been sighted on Irish arms all over the island this last week. Men, women and children of all ages, each having forgot to use sunscreen on the parts of their arms not covered by t-shirts, are joined by those who wear said inverted colours on their necks, legs and foreheads. This is not a political protest, nor international solidarity, but a

Stephen Fahey: Important Announcement for Teenagers with Acne!

Ok, so this one goes out to anyone and everyone who knows a person with acne. Especially teenagers. And extra-especially teenage girls. Life is as hard as the concrete your teeth shatter on when you trip over your shoelace, and even harder for teenagers on an average day. So share this with someone who you know needs it. I have pockmarks on my face from severe
