Magazine Subscription Service
So I’d like to get a subscription to the new NFL Magazine and maybe a few others, but the price of $60 a year for an subscription here in Ireland is crazy, especially when it’s $20 for the States. Fair enough shipping is expensive but what’s mad is I can’t get a subscription to their digital copy without a full subscription. This seems to be a tactic used to push/keep up subscription numbers which dictate advertising numbers.
So is there a service out there that will purchase the subscription for me in the States and provide me with the digital access? I don’t care what they do with the magazines. I’d happily pay $10 a year for this per subscription and it would save me a fortune in shipping costs!
EDIT: I just found these guys http://www.reship.com/Default.aspx so I’ve emailed them to see if they can do it.
The HubHouse Project
About Hub House – www.hubhouse.org
Opening in November 2011, Hub House is both a house and an office space, where teams come together, projects get worked on and businesses get started. Think “Little mansion” meets “tech hub”. There is space for 5 people to live in the House full time. This is the core of The Hub – a big house, which will be separate from the work space. There are 5 double rooms, living areas, TVs and sofas, a big kitchen, a laundry room etc. A bedroom with additional working space in the office is only €600 / month.
The house is located just off the M50 at Cabinteely, a 5 minute walk from the green line Luas (30 mins to Stephen’s Green), with parking spots for 12 cars.
We’re aiming to create an atmosphere that blends really ambitious, productive, innovative work with a fun, relaxed place to live – we have super high speed internet, but we also have a 5-a-side pitch in the garden. There will be all night hackathons, but also beers and bbqs. A Halloween party, a tech networking evening, movie nights, a hackathon and a halo tournament are all in the works for the next few months.
The House also has a large working space for non-residents. This is the ideal set up for a new venture – a working space with loads of like minded people to bounce ideas off, but without having to pay full rent for an office. Non residents can get a desk in the office for only €150 per month. This also includes full access to the house facilities including the training & mentoring we provide (run by Create Ireland)
Here are a few of the businesses that members of House Hub are already working on:
* Minders.ie – A daft.ie for childminders and parents
* CherryText – A Facebook app for free webtexts
* Amp Music Marketing – An online marketing agency for the music business
* Popsleds.com – Importing sleds from China for the big snow this winter!
* Zulunotes.com – An online resource for Leaving Cert Study Notes
* Early Entrepreneurs – A “Young Entrepreneurs” project which raises money for charity
* A few others still in development, too secret to share!
If you are a developer, designer or tech entrepreneur and want to live and/or work in a space like this please get in touch, you can come for a tour and I can tell you all the finer details.
