The Facebook movie trailer has been released. Yup, you heard it right. There’s a movie coming out about Facebook and it’s titled “The Social Network”. Wait, don’t leave! It actually looks like it could be an interesting movie with a gripping story full of back-stabbing and … more back-stabbing. From the trailer, with its soundtrack [...]
This guy is my new lyrical hero. After Dub FX. After some really dismal sitcoms, he’s a great advert for the fact that Americans are still funny! Knows as Piano Improv, this guy spends his time on Chat Roulette. Chat Roulette is a webcam-chatroom combo with a difference. Basically, you don’t know who you’ll be [...]
Jason’s Travel are currently running a competition to find a photo that best fits the phrase “Only in New Zealand”. I spent Christmas day in 30 degree heat in the shade of a gazebo surrounded by Pohutukawa while my bro-in-law cooked us up an awesome BBQ. I figured that fitted the phrase pretty well and [...]
Not long ago, I was wandering through Christchurch and came across this guy performing on the street. He was singing while a recorded backing track provided some awesome beats. I didn’t pay much attention at the time but since then a mate of mine has drawn my attention to the unique way he actually records [...]
Some Christchurch buskers are bloody awful. There’s this guy who stands outside my office every day. He plays the banjo and sings songs by Cliff Richard. I say ‘plays the banjo’ but in fact I think he only knows one chord and bashes it out through every single song. Tortures his banjo would be more [...]

I spend a bit of time in the official Playstation community forums (or at least I used to until they ‘upgraded’ it and made it slower than a one legged turtle swimming through treacle while towing a house).
In my last post I talked about my relaxing wine tour around Gisborne during my visit to the in-law’s.
Gisborne is a nice place but it’s downside (and probably it’s upside too) is that it’s pretty secluded. My uncle once joked that if you fell off the world you would land in Gisborne.
You can’t fly to Gisborne from Christchurch without going via Auckland or Wellington first. And because Gisborne airport is so small, you end up flying in a plane that wouldn’t surprise you if they strapped the luggage to the roof-rack. Take a look at the video below to see my own experience.
Following on from our last post, here’s a fantastic video made for the Greun Transfer TV show in Australia.
On this show, ad agencies are tasked with creating an advert for something you couldn’t advertise. In this case, it was invading New Zealand.
I know this video has been around for a while, but this website hasn’t! So shuddup.
John Key, Prime Minister of New Zealand, appeared on the Letterman Show and listed the top ten reasons to visit New Zealand …
