"Technology" SS Submission:
The idea for this photo (and the way it is composed) popped into my head as soon as I heard about the technology topic. Would you believe my guitar amp sounds better than it looks?? Its true...

FOLLOWING THE DODDER RIVER [FROM MILLTOWN TO CLONSKEAGH]
The Dodder lay well beyond the original city of Dublin but began to have an important impact in the 13th century, when water from its course was diverted to boost the small Poddle River, which in turn did supply fresh water to parts of Dublin.
Over centuries, the Dodder and its tributaries drove many mills, crucial to Dublin's industrial base, but all are now disused. In many cases, all traces have been erased but there are some indications, such as of millraces.
The de Meones family, who gave their name to the nearby suburb of Rathmines, owned a mill in that area as early as the mid-fourteenth century.In the sixteenth century much of the surrounding lands belonged to the Talbot family, ancestors of the Talbots of Mount Talbot. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the Domvile family, who owned much of Templeogue, effectively controlled access to much of the river, which passed through their estates. At that time the Dodder was the main source of Dublin's drinking water, and whether fairly or unfairly, the Domviles were accused of using their control of the Dublin water supply to further their own selfish ends, by threatening to divert its course if their wishes were not met. In fact the legal right to control the course of the river was vested in the Mayor and Corporation of Dublin; this was confirmed by a legal ruling as early as 1527.
The Dodder rises on the northern slopes of Kippure in the Wicklow Mountains and is formed from several streams. The headwaters flow from Kippure Ridge, and include, and are often mapped solely as, Tromanallison (Allison's Brook), which is then joined by Mareen's Brook, including the Cataract of the Brown Rowan, and then the combined flow meeting the Cot and Slade Brooks.
In the river's valley at Glenasmole are the two Bohernabreena Reservoirs, a major part of the Dublin water supply system.
The Dodder is 26 kilometres (16 mi) long. It passes the Dublin suburbs of Tallaght and then Firhouse, travels by Templeogue, passes Rathfarnham, Rathgar, Milltown, Clonskeagh, and Donnybrook, and goes through Ballsbridge and past Sandymount, before entering the Liffey near Ringsend, along with the Grand Canal, at Grand Canal Dock.
There is a weir just above the bridge at Ballsbridge and the river becomes tidal roughly where the bridge at Lansdowne Road crosses it. The Dodder and the River Tolka are Dublin's second-largest rivers, after the Liffey.
2021, time for a new build. And this time, I wanted to share my early passion for mountain biking. It actually started in 1986, when I owned my first mountain bike. Since then I followed this sport relentlessly, and had the chance to whitness the 90's, sometimes referred to as "the golden age of mountain biking". During those times, every year saw a lot of innovations: some did not survive any real usage while others changed the sport forever. In the early 90's, aluminum frames where hype. One man was still believing in steel, and his World Cup riders helped him prove he was right, winning a lot of podium and overall titles. And the colors of these frames were worldwide known: Tom Ritchey handcrafted his P-22, P-21 and P-20 team models and the riders had the privilege to have the famous Blue/white/red color scheme. So in 2021, when a friend of mine found a Ritchey Ultra frame in Team Edition Color, an idea popped up: why not build a Neo Retro Bike? A build with components following today's standards, ready to get smashed at without compromise, but every component has to be a tribute to one of those former innovation days.
Taken in between torrential downpour's of rain, which greatly dampened my grand plans of covering the recent Boost competition.

A lot of sweets were consumed during the training week. I'm glad to say that I didn't pop a single one of these into my mouth. Coffee gives me plenty of boost and I don't need the colourings in sweets on top.
