CHEAP AS CHIPSNOW I UNDERSTAND MOORE'S LAW
If space travel had followed Moore's law since the the 1960's it would cost as much as a bag of chips today.
Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit (IC) doubles about every two years. Moore's law is an observation and projection of a historical trend. Rather than a law of physics, it is an empirical relationship linked to gains from experience in production.
ABUNDANCE BY PAWEL JASINSKIIMALL ROAD - CABRA ROAD - ANNAMOE ROAD IN CABRA
Annamoe means 'ford of the cows'. I assume that this road is named after the village located on the Avonmore river in County Wicklow, Ireland about 32 km (20 mi) south of Dublin. It is on the R755 road (at the junction with the R763) between Roundwood and Laragh on the road to Glendalough.
DON'T USE NASTY TAC TICS PAINT-A-BOX STREET BY ALAN O'REGAN
Message from the artist: "I love to draw. I also love to drink tea and write stories. As a child, instead of going out to play with the other kids, I was indoors, pencil in hand.

CELEBRATING BRAM STOKER AND DRACULAPAINT-A-BOX STREET ART ON NEW BRIDE STREET
The annual Bram Stoker Festival in Dublin city celebrates the legacy of one of Ireland’s most beloved and iconic writers.The festival draws inspiration from Stoker, his life, his work, the Dublin of his time and celebrates the Gothic, the supernatural, the after-dark and the Victorian, and not forgetting! his most memorable creation, Count Dracula.
Abraham Stoker (8 November 1847 – 20 April 1912) was an Irish author who is celebrated for his 1897 Gothic horror novel Dracula. During his lifetime, he was better known as the personal assistant of actor Sir Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre, which Irving owned. In his early years, Stoker worked as a theatre critic for an Irish newspaper, and wrote stories as well as commentaries. He also enjoyed travelling, particularly to Cruden Bay where he set two of his novels. During another visit to the English coastal town of Whitby, Stoker drew inspiration for writing Dracula. He died on 20 April 1912 due to locomotor ataxia and was cremated in north London. Since his death, his magnum opus Dracula has become one of the most well-known works in English literature, and the novel has been adapted for numerous films, short stories, and plays.

A GORDIAN KNOT IN SPACE BY FRANCIS QUINN
The Gordian Knot is an Ancient Greek legend of Phrygian Gordium associated with Alexander the Great who is said to have cut the knot in 333 BC. It is often used as a metaphor for an intractable problem (untying an impossibly tangled knot) solved easily by finding an approach to the problem that renders the perceived constraints of the problem moot ("cutting the Gordian knot").

THE HUNGRY TREE BY EDITH GERVIN CONSTITUTION HILL NEAR THE BROADSTONE TRAM STOP
The Hungry Tree in Dublin, near my apartment, is an eighty year old London Plane tree that appears to be in the process of devouring a cast iron bench. As the years have passed, the tree has grown, causing it to swallow the parts of the park bench that stands in its way. Its bark now spills over the back of the bench, making it appear as though the seat is being sucked into the tree’s mouth-like trunk.

He used a scrolling design with colour repetition and patterns easily adapted to either new box shape. He also included a city skyline and the Casino itself.

STREET ART BY JULIETTE VIODEPHOTOGRAPHED FEBRUARY 2022
I have photographed a few examples of street art by Juliette Viodé
Juliette Viodé who describes herself as follows:
"I am a mural artist and illustrator based and working in Dublin. I studied animation and illustration in Dublin and since graduating have been heavily involved in the street art scene. I was formerly the lead artist for the Dublin Canvas Project. Through this initiative, I designed and painted a series of small and large scale murals around the city. I am now working as a freelance artist and have continued to paint murals, in particular for disadvantaged communities, helping them re-take pride in their areas. I have also worked extensively with kids with learning disabilities, showing them new tools to communicate ideas."
"Street art is not my only focus though, I have pursued my work as an illustrator through several commissioned pieces and exhibitions. I’ve most recently worked for the Sun-Pilot project at the Advanced Materials and Bioengineering Research centre in Trinity College Dublin (TCD) as part of their education and public engagement program. In this project I designed illustrations to explain scientific concepts to children. The artwork I created will be used in schools throughout the EU as a teaching tool."
"My work is vibrant, cheerful and character-centric."

ECCLES STREET - DORSET STREETPAINT-A-BOX STREET ART
Eccles Street began on 6 March 1769 when Isaac-Ambrose Eccles leased three parcels of land in the area. The street is named after his family, including his grandfather Sir John Eccles, Lord Mayor of Dublin 1710–11.
In James Joyce's novel Ulysses (published 1922, set in 1904), the protagonist Leopold Bloom lives at 7 Eccles Street, and the building was treated as a landmark by Joyce fans. No. 7 was demolished in 1967 by the neighbouring Dominican convent as part of an extension development to their school.The door was saved.
The Mater Hospital purchased the plot of land in 1975, building the Mater Private Hospital on the site which opened in 1986. The site also has a large surface carpark. The new development saw 36 Georgian houses demolished, despite preservation orders and resistance from groups including An Taisce and the Arts Council.The order then began buying up more Georgian properties on the south side of the street. The windows and doors of three listed houses were illegally blocked up and others were left vacant.
The Mater invited an inspection of the three Georgian houses by Dublin Corporation in February 1988, when they were deemed dangerous. As a result, the buildings were ordered to be demolished to first or second floor windowsill level. The houses were occupied by the group Students Against the Destruction of Dublin, and legal proceedings ultimately led to them vacating to allow the demolition to go ahead. The legal case revealed that the Mater Hospital Pools had funded the purchase of 28 of the houses on the south side of the street. By 1988, 2 properties were derelict, 13 were partly or wholly vacant, including 3 already condemned. It emerged that they were aware the roofs had failed in the three condemned buildings as early as 1986, and had done no repair work allowing for the ultimate destruction of the buildings.
There is plaque at painter Leo Whelan's former home, 67 Eccles Street.
