Jameson Beam Engine in UCD Engineering Building



Here's the story I've been told. The Jameson distillery gifted this "beam engine" to UCD's egineering school. It's been built into a custom arrangement just inside the doors. I walk by it every day at work.

I've heard that once in a while they get it spinning, but I've never seen this. I've also heard that Jameson wants it back.

Shopping in Ireland



Yep, that's right folks. A 6 foot USB cable in the discount catalog store Argos in Dublin. 18 Euro. That's $28.37 for a standard, vanilla USB cable.

(That's outrageously expensive).
