Telecom looking at LTE
Feb 24th
When I found out last year that Telecom is building a new $500million+ GSM/HSPA+ network, I was a little surprised. Telecom had made such a massive fanfare about their switch to their 027 network when it happened, that I expected they’d be rooting for that networking for many years to come. Ironic I guess that…

Scrubs S08 so far
Feb 23rd
It took me a bit to get into the new season. Having Courtney Cox Arquette come on the show was an interesting twist, but it didn’t work for me and I’m glad they removed the character from the series. No matter how hot she is. It was interesting having her there for the first 3…

Government talks of Bailing out F&P
Feb 18th
Anyone that is familiar with the stance I have taken on this blog regarding the bail outs in the US will already know how I feel about this particular issue. To say it pisses me off is an understatement. The fact that the government of New Zealand is even considering it is just completely ludicrous…
Looking inwards… Sorta, kinda, meh
Feb 17th
You’ll have to forgive me today folks. I got home from work and was all ready to sit down and start writing up a new post about something or other, and then I got into a conversation on gChat, and then I got into a phone call on Skype, and then…. Well, to put it…
Bankrupt: The true state of the US economy
Feb 16th
Normally I don’t really think much about other people’s debt. I have plenty of my own that will take me at least the next 2-3 years to pay off now. However, what frightens me is not that I have this debt, but that the total debt for the US economy, even counting the $1,000,000,000,000+ bailout…
Roadtrip: The scouting mission
Feb 16th
So having been given my driving privileges back, I decided Sunday would be a good day to go find out where my brother is getting married, so I know how to get there on Saturday. I needed to get out of the house and it was a good day for driving. Needing to look at…
