Nice. Will check it on other machines at some point.
Your quick & easy profile edit made me realise you had the wrong email. Good work there.
And yeah, I found the words a bit smeary on win/ffx. Typekit off. Is it still on in this box?
I am now mentally comparing the time it would take to do this with the time since the BoingBoing redesign...

Warners were informed that the boycott would be lifted as early as Sunday, but saying "we're going to lift the boycott" is not the same as actually lifting it.
Yeah... it read rather misleading, but what they said was true, referring to reports 'the ban was lifted' prior http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/BU1010/S00680/new-line-statement-on-the-hobbit-boycott.htm
Said reports did exist, missing the distinction between 'agreed to drop it', 'told them we were going to drop it' and 'actually dropping it' in the Equity timeline.
Headline writers not paying close enough attention both ways.

a lot of issues are about value judgements and self-interest
It's partly the self-interest thing that confuses me about this: surely people aren't going to suddenly think themselves better off because of what Bill English says?
Unless he starts sing Fred Dagg songs.
(Actually I can almost see it...)

To paraphrase Key in question time: "Duh. Of course it ignores unemployed people."

I have this idea that the after tax real wage was what they eventually settled on as proof they were closing the wage gap with Australia.

Hey, it's world statistics day tomorrow.
Make a wish!

Key was just holding up the real after tax wage graph in Parliament.
Oh, now he's talking about inflation.
Why do they never listen?
