Please help me identify the singer of "The Patriot Game" in
this YouTube video commercial for The Lieutenant of Inishmore. Bonus gratitude awarded if you can point me to an album on which it appears.
(Suggestions of recordings of other Irish Republican songs with similiar arrangements or in similar styles are welcome, but I'm most keen to find this one.)

I am trying to find a very specific piece of clip art, which I scanned at a low-resolution during the latter part of the last century and which I now need at a much higher resolution for a print project. It is a woodcut image of a person hefting a fountain pen above his head; you can see a small version of it on the front page of my personal website, which is listed in my profile. I'd like to find an original print source or a high-res digital source. I've browsed every Dover collection I can find and several other sources, but can't find it. Can you?

Have you any personal recommendations for gay nightlife—particularly on a Thursday night—in Manchester, England? There are numerous clubs, pubs, and party nights abound, particularly in the gay village area, but I'm looking for particular favorites for a gay male traveler (40ish) visiting on a Thursday night who enjoys a good booty-shaking evening of dance and drink. (Favorite club nights in London, as an example, include G-A-Y at the Astoria.) What say you?

A Cappella Holiday
is a refreshing alternative to the tired, workaday holiday fare that may be piped into your office. All holiday tunes, but all
a cappella, with some real gems you've never heard before. If your ears have been malled by Muzak and it's making you anything but merry, this free, streaming radio station might be the tonic. (There's a non-holiday
a cappella station too, if you're just fa-la-la'ed out.)

The Dish [
official site/trailer] is the thoroughly charming, (mostly) true story of the crew at Australia's
Parkes Observatory and their unique role in relaying telemetry, biometrics and -- most importantly for posterity -- television pictures from the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission. [more inside]

The San Francisco Chronicle tech critic on weblogs.
As the pool of blog writers has grown, perhaps inevitably so have complaints about quality. It's true that some bloggers seem to feel the need to log every sneeze.
But even drivel has its readership, Fake says. "Sure there are a hundred teenage boys typing, 'I'm bored. School sucks' every three hours, but their friends read them -- and that's their intended audience."
Amen.

Speaking of MeFi's growth, I spy upon logging in tonight that there are 2,997 members. Will there be some sort of swank party to celebrate the joining of #3,000 or will the lucky so-and-so just get a year's supply of Turtle Wax and a copy of "MetaFilter: The Home(page) Game"?

Pyra's killer app
isn't
Blogger, says Michael Sippey in the most recent
Stating the Obvious. The
Pyramaniacs started out to build a robust project-management tool, and got sucked into the swirling vortex that is weblog-world along the way.
"Pyra's killer app isn't Blogger, it's Pyra. Of course, that's mostly semantics, since Blogger's an application built on top of the Pyra framework. Which means that Pyra could not only be your next project management app, but your next content publishing platform as well. An integrated content, template, task, issue, and discussion database? Sounds like a killer app to me. Now they just need to figure out the business model..."
I would have thought the business model was obvious. Isn't it?
