The Greasemonkey script for TVNZ ondemand may avoid the regional downloading thing?
God bless Firefox extensions. Now, if there was one for AutoTune...

This is precisely why I'm not on facebook: the prospect of a long, rolling high school reunion.
Don't friend them. Though you're probably better off without it anyway.

Can people overseas access TVNZ online as I posted a link for the 7 Worlds Collide doco on a list and they couldn't access it in the states?
They can't. There are however a few clips from it on Youtube you can send them.

if 0.8% of the population wish to be represented by a crazy, then fair do's to 'em.
it's amazing how many of the arguments boil down to simply But People We Don't Like Will Be in Parliament and Form Governments!
However, there is an argument for some kind of threshold, as Israel demonstrates. There, very small parties do wag the dog and hold the majority of the population to ransom. The large number of 1-2% parties can all put through their favoured policies, often despite popular objection.

You'd like to see Daft Punk in the tent? Me, not so much. They should be seen in open stadiums, in front of the pyramid of doom.
Also, I think the latest Auto-tune the News is a little less than some of the others. For me the standouts were 2, 5, and 6. The latest one is just a chance to say 'look, we got T-Pain!'.

A New Zealand Film Festival would be a good idea.
A festival of New Zealand films, that is. Give people something to celebrate, make them feel good. Carnivalise it. And if it works the first year, try it the second.

Do Wellingtonians need to be reminded that the DCM bookfair is on this weekend?
It can't hurt. I missed a bookfair recently, and kicked myself for it.

I'm quite jealous right now. Of all of you. Beer is mostly bad and universally expensive in Australia.
