Map of TΓ­r Cholm Cille, celebrating the legacy of St. Colmcille (St. Columba) and the shared Gaelic heritage of Ireland and Scotland. The map features Ireland and Scotland, with place names written in Irish and Scottish Gaelic, highlighting the regions historically associated with the saint and his influence. Key locations include Donegal (TΓ­r Chonaill) in Ireland, closely linked to Colmcille’s birthplace, and the Scottish islands, particularly Iona, where Colmcille founded a renowned monastery. The map showcases the strong linguistic and cultural connections between the two regions, promoting the preservation and celebration of Gaelic traditions. Decorative elements include a logo and title in Gaelic script, with a historical and cultural narrative about Colmcille’s impact. Designed as part of an initiative to honour Gaelic heritage, this map serves as an educational and cultural artifact, emphasising the importance of language, history, and shared identity in the regions of Ireland and Scotland. Perfect for heritage displays, language revival efforts, or educational purposes.

Hand-painted traditional drum featuring an artistic depiction of a large eagle in flight, with detailed feathers and a small crowned wren perched on its back. The drum is encircled by a handwritten Irish inscription reading 'Inbhe Dreolin Ard Mhacha,' translating to 'The Wren of Armagh,' referencing Irish folklore and cultural symbolism. The artwork emphasises the contrast between the powerful eagle and the small but significant wren, reflecting themes of strength, wisdom, and legacy. The drum is displayed in a modern museum or cultural exhibition setting, with a backdrop of glass and informational plaques, highlighting its cultural and historical significance.

Painting of Macha, a legendary figure from Irish mythology, depicted as a powerful and elegant woman with flowing red hair. She wears a white dress cinched with a belt, complemented by a richly decorated red cloak adorned with intricate patterns resembling peacock feathers. Her expression is resolute, with a piercing gaze that reflects her strength and sovereignty. Macha is one of the three aspects of the MorrΓ­gan and is associated with war, fertility, and the land. The artwork captures her commanding presence and mythical significance, displayed against a minimalist background to emphasize her figure.

I got to visit the CultΓΊrlann Aonach Mhacha last night in Armagh to listen to some tunes. Was a great vibe. Took some photos from around the building while I was at it.

Had my first actual win on Snap Names.

A good few years ago I lost theshawe.com

Was pretty raging. There was some dodgy spammers using it. I heard about Snap Names and how to broker the purchase of it. Finally got it back.

Just having it re-redirect to davidshawe.com for now.

Both valid.

First thing that instantly comes to mind as a positive solution for the first one would be to generate learning path ways to educate based on what you've worked on this week. Use the LLM to fix the errors but at the end of the week you're reminded to skill up by reading this and this

I really need to work on a better thumbnail. I actually really like this one I did for the last blog I shared.

Something about the centred text and minimal dot that works well. Maybe not cut half my head off though lol

I've been working on davidshawe.com recently. Been blogging a bit and rethinking how I work with Invisible Building. I've been writing about a lot of it in public on Twitter, LinkedIn and talking about it a bit on YouTube. But it could be a nice idea to talk more about stuff here on @bsky.app
