An Irish SOPA to an Irish Problem [Podcast #15]
Brought to you by Blacknight, it’s The Technology.ie Podcast, Episode 15, with Conn Ó Muíneacháin and Michele Neylon. This podcast was recorded as the SOPA was hitting the fan in Ireland.

Tech Heroes: Conor O’Neill
I’ve been trying to get Conor O’Neill on the show for a while. He’s a great blogger and entrepreneur and a cheerleader for Irish Tech. But what I really wanted to talk to him about was ‘home entertainment hacking’! Then Netflix launched in Ireland and I sent him a ping. Luckily he was free to […]

He mentioned the Collison brothers as a case in point. Stripe is their second startup, backed by serious investors and apparently on course for a direct […]

Big Thanks To Kíla
When Conn and I were working on putting the podcast show together one of the things we spent quite a bit of time talking about was music. What music could we use for the intro? We needed a tune that would be the show’s “signature”. After some discussion we settled on using a track from […]
