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 [...]
Ok, well no not really saved my life but hey that’s a good example of how people can get too involved with their gadgets huh? Anyway. Vodafone were really good to me and here’s how. Note that the title of this blog post could also be “Sucking up to corporates sometimes pays off”.
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 [...]

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 [...]
BREAKING NEWS: It’s just been reported that the famous Twitter birds have rescued the equally famous Fail Whale from Japanese whalers via an intricate webbing system.
Think of the New Zealand armed forces and hopefully you think “peace-keeping”. In the absence of no one hating New Zealand enough to attack us, our forces have been involved with various humanitarian and peace support operations from Tonga to Afghanistan. To do this on an international stage, I believe it is imperative that our [...]
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 our Christchurch office we have one of those new Council plastic bags to take the recycling out each week. Because it’s transparent, you get a good idea of how much rubbish you’re producing. Now ok, it is being recycled rather than thrown away … but too many people think that they’re doing the world [...]
