  • Hard News: Friday Music: About Apple Music,

    Okay it's a crappy mp3, but you'll still get the power of that baseline (and the voice). My daughter, Avalon, today won The Edge acapella (A capella? a'capella? - it's a bloody cover, alright?) competition with this version of "Take Me To Church"

  • Hard News: What would a harm reduction…,

    Only a quarter of people who submitted their purchases for testing actually had what they thought they had.

    Anecdotally, I would assume close to 100% of my dak-smoking friends are actually smoking dak.

    When Mike Hosking poo-pooed global warming on Seven Sharp

    Anyone point me to a video clip of this? Would love to add it to my collection of prominent CCD's (deniers)

  • Busytown: Tell You What: A Nonfiction Giveaway!,

    Niki Harre's excellent "Psychology for a Better World - Strategies to Inspire Sustainability" (available from nzclimatechangecentre.org, amongst others).

    You can't describe accepting the realities of human-induced climate change, unsustainable industry, rampant pollution, etc as a "no-brainer" - you really gotta have a brain. The problem is influencing others to get their heads out of the sand and think about cause and effect. Harre's book gives you the tools.

  • Hard News: Show some decency, in reply to Graham Dunster,

    Sorry if someone else has already suggested this, but surely you need look no further than the Greens for social and environmental responsibility. And a dash of integrity.

  • Speaker: It's meant to be hard,

    You for PM (whoever you are) - if you want what Australia/America/England, etc has - in this day of mobile labour, you can go and get it. NZ is different - celebrate that.

  • Hard News: New Lounge Toy Update,

    "I use my iPhone all the time as a music player in the car, via a hokey old cassette adapter."

    About that car stereo thing. I drive a classic car and don't want to cut the dash for a cd player, so I (and many others) am stuck with under-dash mounting, or in the glovebox with a remote, etc. Who the hell uses CDs in a car anymore anyway? Why do these things need to be DIN standard width when all you want to do is plug in your iPhone/iPod or listen to bFM?
