Meta Morpheus...
It’s really just exercising social noise.
or 'exorcising' in many cases...
I always find the light in dreams good evidence that photons don't have mass...
...and the detail, oh. the detail - sometimes I wake up drained from the processing that must go on - my poor 'wetware' morphed into 'whetware' as everything gets super sharper!
I too have a recurring childhood flying dream - running around the grass quadrangle at Sydenham school, when I trip and just pivot at the hips and fly around the 'jungle gym' and the four trees and up to view the playground, school, Sydenham and then all of Christchurch - very exhilarating...

Polity: Mike's minute: Mike's maths!, in reply to Russell Brown,
one is the loneliest number...
I’m inclined to think he’s just really, really bad at maths.
No chance he has a secret 'math lab' in the basement then?
I always feel a little 'number' after accidentally 'ingesting' him!
Even the trace elements in this post make me feel my reason slipping awayyyyyy......

Hard News: This. Is. Crazy., in reply to James Dunne,
I was going to suggest AirBNB
I thought Louise von Randow's suggestion of Carebnb was a good one.
I still remember the Government's corralling of 350 camper vans after the earthquakes - of which only one was used!!
They cost only $190 a week (not a night) yet still cost the Gov't $1.5 million apparently - money for jam for someone - Maybe they could corral up all those Wicked Campers and make those available for the homeless with some portaloos - Gov't sanctioned sleeping in cars would be an improvement... surelyThe Earthquake camper vans idea would have worked better if people had been able to have the camper van at their home rather than a section in the middle of town - this Gov't is daft and crap at thinking laterally...

Me, Thane - you, serfs...
as it would have substantial budgetary implications.
This could be Bill English's 'budget in the coalmine'
- if it dies, so might National... -
The right to know your rights...
Perhaps its time for a WINZ equivalent of The Little Red Schoolbook - laying out beneficiaries' entitlements and processes open to them, it seems anecdotally that getting that information offered readily by the 'gate-keepers' is problematic. -
Hard News: The media awards are dead –…, in reply to Russell Brown,
Hey Judicious...
I don’t think I’ve ever heard it called that before …
Well it was in many ways an adulter rant
but the opposite of an adulterant
hey, you made it better
- refrain...

Happiness is...
Change is better with an ubi

I have a lot of time for David Parker, he's prepared to make the hard calls because they need to be done, not because they are politically expedient.
Having had a coupla long and wide-ranging conversations with him recently.
I trust him...
...and to be honest there's not many people I say that about these days.He has the feel of old school Labour and of someone who's ready to 'muck in' as needed to make things happen.
Labour needs a few more like him. -
Hard News: The media awards are dead –…, in reply to Damian Christie,
Let battle comments!
we should now have categories for...
...I'm angling for a large cash prize for 'Worst Pun on an Award Winning Blog; Comments Section' category
- otherwise anyone gotta job going out there?

as you were - Woosh seems to be back up again
But I think I'll be shopping around for a provider that doesn't realise it had a problem at the weekend until someone shows up at work on monday.
