Debt Based Economy shows its true colours
Sep 30th
I don’t know if you heard about it, but there was this little bit of a blip on the stock markets this week. Well, maybe more of a pothole than a blip. Okay, so maybe its the beginning of a grand canyon style stock drop. But still, its only the beginning and we’re just starting…
The PyS60 Panic Button
Sep 28th
So I was over at Geoff’s watching the Warriors complete meltdown (oh well) and getting bored for the most part. Lots of drunk guys all around me doing lots of drunk things and I really wasn’t in the mood to participate. Been rather depressed lately to be honest. Anyway… I opened up my phone and…
Is that a snake in your pocket?
Sep 26th
As some of you might remember, I lost my old cellphone in July and to replace it I got myself a Nokia E90 Communicator. I have been extremely impressed with the device. I was disappointed I had to buy a new phone, having lost my ol’ faithful Motorola SLVR, but of all the phones I…
Night Speed Drag Wars 2008
Sep 24th
A fair number of people are curious as to when this years Night Speed Drag Wars start. They’re coming here because of the post from October 2005 which obviously isn’t helpful 3 years later. This year the Nightspeed Drag Wars start on Friday, November 7, 2008 down at the Fram Autolight Dragway on State Highway…
Winston Peters, Close Up
Sep 24th
Just saw the interview with Winston Peters on CloseUp on TVNZ and I can’t believe what I just witnessed. (Download the interview here: ) The man is completely unrepentant and didn’t give a single straight answer to any question. In fact, he came across as trying to bully Mark Sainsbury into letting him just have…
Tamaki wants no part of Labour
Sep 24th
I live in the Tamaki electorate (St Johns for those that don’t know) and anyone familiar with this old Muldoon haunt will know that its very much a National Party stronghold. On my way home from work this evening, I got to the Remuera Golf course and was coming down the new Naghue Dr (formally…
Sione and the ampulance
Sep 17th
Kris’s better half sent this through yesterday. If you don’t know many Samoan’s, this may not mean much to you. For the rest of us, especially from Auckland, this will make you laff like da fat clown. :-P The village Matai tells the story of Sione to the kitz. One days Sione was cudding da…
A private discussion – 20080913
Sep 13th
Ever have one of “those” days? Yeah, me too. Although, I think I have to say, its been more a case of one of those months so far. :-/ My health is crap, my job is suffering and most aspects of my private life are definitely not in a good space right now. With everything…
My Chrome quicky review
Sep 4th
What can I say about Chrome that hasn’t already been said? There is so much hype floating around the web about it at the moment that its nearly impossible to not hear about it. Even the local newspapers here in NZ have been discussing it in their Technology sections. It has captured the attention of…
Commission says E.F.A. “chilling” public participation
Sep 4th
I, like most bloggers in this country, was fully opposed to the Electoral Finance Act when they rammed it through last year. To say it scared me is an understatement. The simple fact is I am blogging far less about politics coming up to the election than I did in 2005 because I simply don’t…
