Last week I was in Dublin for the IxDA Student Design Challenge (more on that coming soon). I had a chance to stroll about (in the cold!) and get some pictures, here are a few favorites, with part 2 coming tomorrow.

You can’t understate the prominence (relevance?) of Guinness

The Museum of Natural History. A big, big room crammed with more dead stuffed animals than you possibly imagine.

Rolling advertisements.

Occupy and social media.

Thin Lizzy’s Phil Lynott.

Aspiration meets reality.

Local hero Colm Meaney.

Why, indeed?

The Liffey at night.

Samuel Beckett Bridge.

Services you didn’t know you needed.

Zipperman.

I’d love to see a forced connection between the Guiness truck and the rolling adverts. Maybe a food truck/rickshaw for Irish beer where I can order a Guiness and get a designated driver to take me home if I enjoy a few too many!
