Video of QM2′s arrival
Feb 18th
Probably shouldn’t do this because I’m sure the APN won’t appreciate me deep linking to their video, but who the hell cares. This is probably the best video of the QM2′s arrival that I’ve seen yet. Spectacular scenery shots with the city and also with the sun breaching the horizon. Makes me want a helicopter.…
Bye Bye Queen Mary 2
Feb 18th
So like basically all of Auckland, I went out and watched the Queen Mary 2 disembark and leave on its 3 day journey to Sydney. I ended up at the same place I was at this morning. On the sea wall at the marina beside Ferg’s Kayaks. To be honest, this is probably one of…
Queen Mary 2 arrives in Auckland
Feb 17th
The Queen Mary 2 arrived in Auckland this morning. Its here only for the day and then it leaves again tonight to head on to Australia. It is the first time this ship has entered the South West Pacific, and it is the largest cruise ship to enter either New Zealand or Australian waters. Auckland…
King Dick wants a hole in the ground
Feb 13th
This is probably the only thing that has ever spewed forth from the current administration of Auckland City that I would actually agree with. Auckland city is absolutely suffering for the state of our roading infrastructure. The short minded planning of the Spaghetti Junk-tion area has left us with severe and major traffic issues that…
Chernobyl’s Winter
Feb 12th
I’ve been sending people site links of HDR images for a while, usually while chatting in Google Talk. However, these HDR images of Chernobyl I wanted to link to for everyone. Chernobyl has always fascinated me. Sort of a morbid dread at the whole realisation of what it actually means. Here is this place that…
The RSS Short Shift
Feb 12th
No, I will not be updating the RSS feed to publish the full posts anytime soon. Certain people (not looking at anyone in particular, Robert) can stop hassling me about it. Well, maybe… Let me explain why I don’t publish the full feeds anymore. One of the things that really pisses me off is when…
Do you Digg what I Dugg?
Feb 12th
Some other changes I forgot to mention. Those of you getting the RSS feed will have noticed some rather obvious additions to it beginning this month. Like nearly everyone out there, I do read Digg. In fact, to the point of distraction one could almost say. But I haven’t ever really shared what I did…
Some Changes
Feb 11th
Okay, so I’ve been really slack lately. I’ve got about 12 posts sitting as drafts, but I they’re all long and I can’t figure out how to end any of them. Its frustrating because the point is succinct, but its hard to summarise for most of the posts. Its hard to highlight it to finish…
Merry Christmas my friend
Dec 27th
Sorry that I didn’t get my usual deep and meaningful Christmas post up just yet. I just worked 34 hours in 3 nights and I’m a little tired right now. So I hope you’ll understand if I haven’t posted since last week as a result of that. I do intend to post a Christmas message…
