I got a Guinness 250th anniversary glass this morning.

Our gift to you…Now you’re ready for the perfect pour
This limited edition authentic Guinness 250th anniversary glass is one of our last so it’s a real collector’s item but more importantly it is the perfect partner to your can of Guinness Draught.
For the perfect pour, hold yours at a 45 degree angle and slowly fill, emptying your can in one smooth movement. Relax while the swirling surge of colour slowly calms, until that creamy head settles to a crisp white on black. Savour the moment, then enjoy.

A wonderful documentary about Open Design & Innovation.
How are social media changing design? What is the value of a prototype? How are work and play merging? Where is design headed in the 21st century? “Delivered in Beta” begins a conversation on these topics and invites your participation (twitter hashtag #od10beta). This video was created during the Open Design Workshop at the Betahaus
as part of Social Media Week Berlin 2010. Produced by KS12.
The tallest building in Dublin city was wired up with two huge 100,000 Euro screens.
The combination of Underworld’s unmistakable talent for drawing on primal energies and Mark Knight and D.Ramirez’s unquestionable production skills and knowledge of the Dance Floor tells a powerful story that is ahead of the curve and pays off with a monster riff in the drop. An insanely infectious piece of music that has feeling and passion rushing through its veins, the combination of tech grooves and intense progressive-build nods heavily to the tight production skills of Mark Knight and D.Ramirez and sees a stunning return to international dance floors for one of electronic music’s most iconic voices Karl Hyde, for this, the much anticipated and long overdue follow up to the 2007 anthem Columbian Soul.
Having created a defining soundtrack to a chemical generation with the almighty Born Slippy and countless club crossover hits including the likes of Rez and Cowgirl, Underworld are highly regarded as one of the best in the business.
Take this heritage and legacy and combine it with one of the most prolific DJ production partnerships in the world right now and you have something very special indeed.
