IN A FIRST for An Post, stamps featuring augmented reality technology have been released so you can virtually bring them to life.
The four stamps were released today to celebrate the Irish animation industry.
When scanned by a smartphone with the CEE App for Android or iPhone, a specially produced film featuring ‘Roy’, ‘Give Up Yer Aul Sins’, ‘The Secret of Kells’, ‘Nelly & Nora’ and other animated works can be seen.
The four 68c stamps were designed by Irish company Vermillion Design and they are available from most post offices, the Stamp Shop in the GPO and online. A first day cover and collector’s item booklet is also available.
The film was producted by the Irish Film Board Animation Ireland and Enterprise Ireland. Over 1,000 people are employed in the animation industry in Ireland.

If I ever met he creator of candy crush, it would take all my strength and willpower not to strangle them with my bare hands
or beat them to death with a stick of rock.
If you ever read the history of the game and the company which made it you most certainly would. They ripped off a free game called Candy Swipe which was released years before Candy Crush by a man named Albert Ransom. King.com robbed his idea, then trademarked it, and then sued him out of existence. Albert Ransom who made CandySwipe was trying to raise money and awareness for leukemia as his mother was diagnosed with it.
Best part – that was not the first time King.com had done this to other small game developers, but due to US law they have robbed other games from smaller developers, changed one small feature, got a copyright on it, then sued the original creator for the rights and won thanks to their shady solicitors and mental IP laws in America.
I loved Facebook but it’s constant look for more interaction and invites and likes and all the other insecure BS drove me insane. Longing for the no-frills social network.
Try twitter. At the minute it has less frills but it will eventually go the same way.
If only my life was so boring that a few game invites infuriated me. Just ignore them, it’s a social media site .
James, we just call it Twitter.
Friends have become enemies over candy crush invites. Family members have been blocked because of candy crush invites.
YESSSSSSS
Thank Christ.
