Smidiríní {An Introduction}

Today we'll introduce a new section to the blog that we're going to call smidiríní.  Smidiríní translates from gaelic as small pieces.  The word smithereens derives from this as does the term smidge or smidgin.  We're going to use this section when we want to link articles that we find of interest but are too long to post in a longer form.
