GLOWPUNK EVENT 1: CLIFF JUMPING (HOWTH,DUBLIN, IRELAND)

video for this story :   http://www.youtube.com/user/glowpunk?feature=mhee

We arrived at Balscadden Carpark in Howth, Dublin, Ireland, just before 1pm and awaited Amrita Pai from India and Bethany Behrens from Colorado. Both students in U.C.D., who had agreed to join us for the first GLOWPUNK event. The objective of the events is show people what can be done on their doorstep. Our goal today was some seriously fun cliff jumping.A wonderful sport that involves no investment only a sense of adventure and some courage.  The water was a cool 11.5 celcius and 53 farenheit, not freezing but uncomfortable enough to get the adrenaline flowing and shake off the cobwebs of last nights session

We had 3 camera men. Derry 'O Sullivan, Daniel Dalton and Myself. Danny was rocking a new 60D that he recently won for a clever little video he made for a competition. here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOVRvda7UOs 

The only man doing fancy dives this day was Alex Cronin, my brother, who has recently won gold in the Masters High Diving Competitions of Ireland, so any black dot that is  upside down in mid air in these photos is my brother Alex... fair play to the big man.

We had been there about an hour when 2 locals rocked up and showed us some other jumping options. We had seen these jumping spots but weren't sure if they were do-able. They led by example and became our local guides, showing us what could be done, and pushed it to the limits. One fella called matthew was of course without wetsuit and set the bar pretty high for manlyness. Before living in Mexico I would have always jumped without a wetsuit for that extra kick but only being three days in Ireland I was still feeling the cold. Finally I manned up and shed the wetsuit and braved the final jump in the suit God gave me.

Looking forward to the next GLOWPUNK EVENT, stay tuned to facebook to see WHAT , WHERE and WHEN and come along for the fun. Life is short glow and live. You can check out the video of this adventure on my youtube channel "glowpunk" and many other videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/glowpunk it will be up within a week of this post, so just swing by from time to time :) http://www.youtube.com/user/glowpunk?feature=mhee

IRISH ACCENT - 'Feel' by David Lynch (Original)





I met David Lynch in Mexico while he was studying. I managed an Irish  Bar there that draws in the Irish students from time to time. David was one of them. I discovered he was a great singer and I mentioned that I like to make videos for you tube and proposed a collaboration. This is the result. A video shot in one take in my bathroom in my apartment in Guadalajara Mexico.  The song as you can see is called 'Feel.' It is a David Lynch original and as you can see this young man can sing. I expect to see great things from this man in the future. Looking forward to working with him again in the future. The video on you tube is doing pretty good and I am guessing with time he will have many videos on line that will blow the minds of his fans.

Hope you enjoy the song. Please comment below and let us know what you think of his music. The link to his twitter account is  @DavidLynch25 Drop by and let him know what you think. Tell him I sent you!

mapping the homeless

Glowpunk would like to help the homeless. I need help to develop a website.It would work by using a world wide satellite mapping system not unlike google. (perhaps google will help)
If we know who is where and a little about them then we can help them.
First we must recognize that there are many homeless people who are happy with out help but many who would be happy with help.
The help we would OFFER would not have to be financial if it all.
There is an option for a holistic approach, where by a user moderated user driven site would allow the online settled "community" (a little like wikipedia) to grow and perfect the site over time.
Basically Glowpunk would like to document and map the homeless. Although many homeless people move around, many maintain residence in a fixed location.
People could in theory go on line and look at a map and find the usual residing place of their nearest homeless person and see the details of that person, a little like a Facebook page although obviously more tailored to their needs, It would be possible to see what this homeless person requires to better their life. whether they need food, clean water, shelter,help with legal documents, clothing, medication, or a person to talk to. informing people in their area of their lives and allowing people to understand better why the person is there at this point in their lives and how they can help them get where they want to be. Easy. just need help. It could revolutionize the lives of millions of homeless. and this is only the tip of the idea. Anyone know how to make this happen. or more importantly like to help?
