What is the maximum allowed noise level?

Ian pointed this out to me today. I’d heard about it on the radio earlier, but Ian found the page on the LTNZ site that details the new changes. New measures to combat noisy car exhausts are just weeks away from hitting the streets. A gazette notice has been issued allowing the introduction of an…

Sunday Bloody Sunday – G W Bush

This is the famous U2 song, Sunday Bloody Sunday, as done by George W Bush :-) Don’t think I could spend that amount of time on C-SPAN getting all the footage needed for this one, but this video definitely came out very well done. :-) Not quite as rousing as U2′s version, but thats to…

Shhh! Sekwit Skiwel

Ooohh… Secret sneak preview ;-) Ssssshhhhh ;-) Remember, you’ve gotta pretend you’re Schultz on this one. You know nothing! ;-)

Britney strips for the paparazzi

Anyone else suddenly get flashbacks of Demi Moore? I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same. Although… while I admit that I had a crush on Demi Moore when I was a kid, Britney just doesn’t do it for me. I actually think she looks better with her cloths on and…

Downtime over

Well folks, the posts have been imported from this blog to the new blog so I can test things properly over there as I put together the theme. I was actually surprised how quick it was all things considered. I was expecting it to take a half hour or more, but it happened within 5…

My latest addiction

No, its not Digg, although I do admit that I am finding myself more addicted to Digg than I ever have been to other news sites in the past. I spend more time on Digg than I ever spent on Slashdot. And I used to spend a lot of time on Slashdot. Anyway… The other…

Possible Downtime

As I get the new stuff up and running, I’ve decided that migrating all the posts from this site could actually be useful to help me get the new site running properly. It would give me live data to use while I’m working on things like the theme/templates and so on. It also means that…

Great police chase

Here’s a pretty fantastic police chase. I have both the original and the Nicholas Cage versions of Gone in 60 Seconds, and this looks like the kind of chase that would be fantastic in both of those movies ;-) Whats frightening is that this is a real police chase and these are not stunts but…
