Summer of 69′ & evening with photographer/film-maker Jim Sugar
Movie Room, Delancy St Foundation, 600 Embarcadero San Francisco, CA 94199

Last Christmas while while spending time with family in Ireland, RTE screened what I though was one of the best films that I’ve seen from them in recent history – Summer of 69′. It was a true gem and one that I believe you and your friends will thoroughly enjoy. So get yourself and your friends out to a very unique event from INBA.
- Gerard Sheridan

In 1968 22 year old photographer Jim Sugar spent three months in the Republic of Ireland capturing the people and places of Ireland for a National Geographic Magazine feature article published in 1969. Thirty-four of those images appeared in the final article but over 10,400 images were actually taken.

During the summer of 1969, RTE asked Jim to retrace the steps of the original National Geographic article. Although some of the people in the original article had died, many of the people and places remained very familiar. Read the rest of this entry »

MINISTER FOR Communications Eamon Ryan yesterday unveiled a €5 million investment in internet technology developed in Ireland that will bring 140 new high-end research jobs in the next year.

In a world’s first, the technology uses tuneable lasers instead of silicon chips to deliver data and will enable high-definition streaming of sports and movies to home computers and mobile phones.

It is the second phase of Government investment in the Exemplar programme, which solves the problem giants like ATT have been addressing for the last 10 years – congestion on the internet .

Developed by two UCD graduates at Intune Networks, it has the potential to carry the equivalent of London’s entire telephone network from just one small computer room in Dublin.

“This is a breakthrough moment for Ireland,” said Mr Ryan. “The future of the internet is here and it’s being developed in Ireland.”

He hopes it will act as a magnet for investment. More than 30 telecoms companies have already signed up to test the technology, including BT, Imagine and IBM. Read the rest of this entry »
