Makes me giggle.

Well, its weirdly comforting to know that low-grade misery had company. I felt so awful, because there are people in this world I don't give a rat-arse about disappointing but Jimmy isn't one of them. It all worked out splendidly anyhow: even without my charms, it was…

The little bits we did (and which thankfully ended up on the cutting room floor) were totally awkward and uncomfortable for me – you try being “natural” with a boom mic hovering over your head – and that was just for ten minutes.

Heh.

I'm just editing a blog post…

The Minister of Broadcasting was there – he read Tariana's speech without any kia oras.

I found that slightly dominatrix manner of Judith Collins to NZ On Air a bit weird. Do you think that is how she acts in cabinet?

I’m sure she meant well, but I was really annoyed when she declared how much she enjoyed watching Attitude on Sunday mornings – and instructed “the NZ On Air people in the room” to keep funding it.

Um, I’m just thankful she isn’t the Broadcasting Minister because, even as an…

So that's what we're doing on Friday night

That brought a big smile to my face.

It was very brave of him to show the hard bits as well as the easy bits.

He was pretty bummed out the day he came home from the ill-fated pamphlet drop. We talked about it and I told him that that was probably going to be in the doco…

Call me slow, but I just watched "Jimmy wants a job" for the first time.

I'm sure the hayfever is why I'm feeling slightly teary-eyed. Best wishes for Jimmy in the future. It was very brave of him to show the hard bits as well as the easy bits.

I think even Judith Collins (who presented the Supreme award as ACC Minister) was enlightened.

I'm sure she meant well, but I was really annoyed when she declared how much she enjoyed watching Attitude on Sunday mornings — and instructed "the NZ On Air people in the room" to keep…

Robyn is a national treasure. I got to know her while I was developing and promoting the Govt Web Guidelines (now Standards) at SSC. And Steve I've known through tech circles for years.

Thanks for helping her get some richly deserved recognition.

Yay for Tony!
By the way you don't have to get up at 4 am to train in the Special Olympics. They are much more sensible than that. And it was great week at the Special Olympics National Games in Dunedin a couple of weeks ago (and, incidentally, my swimmer…

Tony’s no stranger to the water. His mother Jeanette always stuck up for his right to an education and he was part of the first satellite class at Avondale College

Todays news of the fight for equality.
