More About the Author
I’m MacDara Conroy, a production journalist and editor (for Metro Éireann and others), music writer (for Thumped and Burning Ambulance) and all-round mediavore from Dublin, Ireland. I live with the lovely Bee and our growing collection of board games in the suburbs of the capital, near the banks of the Royal Canal.
I'm also available for hire for freelance writing and editing assignments. While I skew towards the arts, I have a broad base of experience in news and features, from migrant issues to marine wildlife. If you're looking for someone to write or polish something for you, please drop me a line.
Apart from blogging here, I twitter, read books, listen to music, take photos, contribute to the hive mind, collect images and things, watch movies and videos, look after my health, go on adventures, play around with projects – and more besides. I also wrote a thesis once.
About This Site
This site has been on the go since October 1999; the blog started in November 2001 and has been running on-and-off ever since. It serves as a place for my thoughts and a repository for my various whims and interests, from the high-brow to the low. And boy, are some of them ever low.
The current design went live in summer 2006; I still like it so I haven't felt the need to change it (much). Everything you see here is handcoded with SubEthaEdit and/or Sublime Text 2 for the Mac. The site is published to the web with Movable Type (yes, even after all these years) and is hosted by Blacknight Solutions. It’s also typeset in Helvetica.
