  • Up Front: Choice, Bro,

    I’m assuming that NZ First, UF and the Maori Party don’t have youth wings. (I thought NZF had one for the under 65s?)

    There are posters downstairs in my building trying to entice uni students to NZ First's. I guessing they cost host their first national conference in a phone booth or similar.

    Wow. John Banks to vote for the bill.

    It feels wrong to be on the same side of a debate as that man.

    I shall compensate by taking tremendous joy from the fact that he's going to vote the right way, and hate every fucking second of it. Double rainbow!

    Oh and there’s the paper copy on the shelf above my desk … which I STILL use!

    If it's not lifting your computer monitor to the right height, you're not doing it right.

  • Capture: Spring is Like a Perhaps Hand,

    How do you stop little worms getting into your carrots?

    I'm not sure about those little worms, but I heard that mixing pine needles in the soil around potatoes stops the worms that attack them.

    Lost my garden when I moved so haven't had the opportunity to test.

  • Field Theory: Yellow wristband, White flag,

    Because I have been asked: I don't like Lance Armstrong, but have no proof that he was or was not cheating. I just thought this was an incredibly convenient way to bow out of the argument for him.

    That was my first thought. I've heard better excuses in the playground.

  • Capture: Auckland Rock City,

    Now this is where we will be on Oct 12. Billy Bragg!!

    I made my partner's year when I bought us tickets for his Dunedin gig before she even knew he was coming.

    She saw him many years ago and got herself into the after party and he kissed her on the cheek. I don't think she's washed her face since </fangirl>

  • Hard News: Media3: Where harm might fall,

    As far as I’m aware, nowhere in any NZ law does it say “except on the Internet”.

    I do wonder if there is a legitimate role for 'nasty shit people posted about me on an overseas web site'. A tribunal might help smooth jurisdictional issues because it doesn't go down a criminal path immediately?

  • Hard News: Paying for what doesn't come…,

    I am curious to know if anyone has ever tried a sort of trademe model – you deposit an amount of money and everytime you access “below the fold” for indepth news and analysis a deduction is made. Once your account has run out of money your attempt to access or comment takes you to the payment screen.

    That would seem to be the logical way for it to work - a wee add-on to your browser which pops up and confirms that you want to pay 25 cents to read this article.

    That Public Enemy track is fantastic. Thanks Russell.
