Yes, that’s right folks, I’ve been entrusted with hosting this weeks live blog for the Apprentice. AJ had the first week, followed by Debz, Lottie (who’s helping me out tonight) and Gav & Ciara. If you’ll be joining us later, please leave a comment on this entry so your comments in the live blog will appear straight away. See you at 8.45pm.
Taken from the window of our 14th floor hotel room in New York. We think there was something up with the place next door but it didn’t appear to be a fire.
Tuesday night. Vicar Street. 11 friends. 1 crappy support act. 2 main peformers. 1 stage. Amazing night. Seriously. Light saber fight below:

If ya want an actual explanation of how things went down, both Darren and Darragh, wrote what I consider to be lesser reviews. 
The inaugural (love that word) Irish Web Awards were on Saturday night in the Radisson SAS in town. Powered by Mulley © they were sure to be a great occasion and turned out to nothing less. I arrived into town earlyish to pickup food and then head across to Golden Lane. Upon arrival I hooked up with Darragh, Niamh, Rick, RP and the Kilkenny Massive. I was also introduced to the guys from Dublin Streets but promptly lost them (much to the chagrin of Darragh).
The ceremony itself flew by. Our work site, dublin.ie picked up ‘Best Council’ site which was wholey unexpected. When you work with a site day in and day out you can get quite used to it so it’s great to have it validated by an award like this. My acceptance speech was fairly rubbish but I should have mentioned the great team we have (who couldn’t make it on the night) and how proud we are to have won. I’ve only started to connect in with a lot of the web folk here over the past year (due to my ability to be really shy when meeting new people). Occasions like the web and blog awards solidify the connections we’ve made on Twitter, through feeds etc. That can only be a good thing. I’m already looking forward to next year.
A special thanks to Peter Donegan (leg-end punter) for sponsoring the category and also to moviestar.ie. A full list of winners is here. Alexia has videos over there. Tommy did a couple. Peter got photos here and here.
If so, I’d implore you to text the word Autism to 50308 and O2 will donate 5% of your bill total to Irish Autism Action at ZERO cost to you. That’s no cost to whatsoever. You have no reason not to do it. I read about this last week on lecraic and had been meaning to post about it. Easy as pie.
