  • Hard News: Post Foo,

    Elsewhere, Mauricio has a good perspective on the Meraki "Free Net" solution shown off at Foo.

    And Sandy M can't get over discovering that New Zealand geeks are fit.

  • Hard News: Another Big Day,

    And I now see is referenced on Ms Gracewoods blog today, and the speech referred to in Mr Slacks.
    Always a step behind, aren't I?!

    As I noted in reply to Jolisa's post, it says something about the viral impact of the video itself.

  • Busytown: Forever Tuesday Morning,

    I have to say, this awesome video (plus his great books) made me want to vote for Barack Obama.

    It's a measure of the impact of that video that both you and David have noted it, and I was going to until I realised you had. Interesting.

  • Hard News: Another Big Day,

    Thanks for the kiwiboomers link--you will find that Roger Horrocks has added an interesting footnote to my piece.

    That Horrocks is a groover, isn't he?

    My contribution to the post FOO round-up....

    KiwiFOO 08 Banjo, Flickr, Video Mashup

    That's brilliant!

    Jock Phillips sort of didn't get it ...

    It's a shame he didn't arrive earlier and feel moved to present on Te Ara -- I'd have really enjoyed the chance to talk about it.

  • Hard News: Post Foo,

    Now, could anyone return the favour and tell me if there's any good local lit-blogs out there? The only one I've come across is Stuff's Shelf Life - which is well worth a read, and not just because a good friend of mine, Nick Barnett, is a contributor.

    Full credit on that one to Guy Somerset, who started it, and seems to have engaged an audience very quickly. He has now replaced Philip Matthews as arts and books editor of The Listener (from Wellington). Pretty good hire, I reckon.

    Graham Beattie's industry-oriented book blog seems quite lively too:

    Craig, something not quite right with that link (an extra 'l' seems to have attached itself to the address).

    Fixed it. And before Shortland Street finished and everything. Now that's attentive moderation

  • Hard News: Post Foo,

    If this is inappropriate, RB, please feel free to remove and tell me off.

    I'll take that exaggerated expression of I'm-not-worthiness as merely being polite.

    I've never understood "link-whoring" as a criticism. Someone pointing to the answer they lovingly prepared earlier just enhances the environment here.

    If you were linking to interesting consumer information on palm oil, on the other hand ...
