It's St Patricks Day
What have you all got planned to celebrate your legitimate Irish heritage?

Nintendo are releasing some of their old games on mobile platforms cool eh?

What's your million pound invention? Mines a tiny robot arm with a camera and tweezers and cotton buds and shit to clean your ears. Controlled by your smart phone.

If you're Irish and living on UK soil there are only two ways to celebrate.
1) Build a road.
2) Firebomb a police station.

Altalt: Not telling you sunshine!

I really don't get the whole american "I'm 5th generation O'rish" thing.
Yup, just read that myself, it'll be 'new titles' though, so don't expect to see any classics. My money would be on the equivolent to Mario Teaches Typing - nintendo characters will be shoe-horned in. You won't see a new Zelda or Mario. They'll be tons of paid DLC too I bet =(

I'm currently spec'ing up an App at the moment to revolutionise the Dental industry, looking forward to that. I've even got clever shizniss like iBeacons so you know you're in the room, and give you the ability to set some lighting/control the TV on the ceiling/bluetooth over to their speakers. All kinds of shizniss.

Altalt: a planner that lets you define a list of events and a list of activities to be done different lengths of time in advance so you can enter an event, tick all the associated boxes and get a customised set of reminders. For example: your other half is coming round for a romantic dinner, so you'd tick Go Shopping (1 day before), Do Laundry (2 days before), Tidy Flat (12 hours before) and Buy Flowers (3 hours before). Job interview coming up? Tick Dry Cleaners for Suit (week before), Barber's (week before ti give time to book an appointment), etc. etc.

I never had any interest in doing either of those things so the whole google+ account wasn't a problem.
