  • Hard News: What's on David Bain's iPod?,

    the only people it need concern are his family, and himself, surely?

    Err, what family? Jeez, it's Arthur Allan Thomas all over again...

  • Hard News: What's on David Bain's iPod?,

    It's going to be an ad-supported world.

    Peter Gabriel seems to think so.

    WoDBi?

    We Are The Champions is definitely on it.

  • Hard News: On receipt of a not-so-nastygram,

    The link is on the blink. "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Air New Zealand Limited." You gotta love Air NZ's Teutonic sense of humour.

  • Random Play: The Chinese envoy is here,

    How does one get harangued by Falun Gong, I wonder? Worst I've seen them do is sit outside the Chinese Embassy breathing deeply at it and doing squiggly wiggles with their hands. Honestly, they wouldn't say boo to a schmoo. Neither, probably, would vanilla mayor George Wood.

  • Southerly: If You Don't Hit Them, You…,

    The Bible as a can of worms. I love it. What would a Deuteronomy worm look like I wonder? It neatly fits Richard Dawkins' Virus of Faith theme too. "Hey, you've got worms! Have some BZP."

  • Hard News: TVNZ on Demand actually…,

    All things considered, TVNZ ondemand is nice. Agenda's homepage has a Quicktime embed that plays silly buggers for some reason, so I finally can watch the show in another format.

    The biggest quibble I have so far is a autoload video when flicking between pages. I don't want 25 minutes of video to load every time I browse a page. It gnaws at my data cap for no good reason and sucks up TVNZ's valuable bandwidth. Ditch this glitch.

  • Island Life: A Special Public Address Message,

    I'd like to help where I can. If people are serious about a Wellington gig, I can put out some feelers. I could probably get in touch with some good catering, if not a venue or performers. I'd gladly donate some waitering time and perhaps an auction item too. It's for all the right reasons.

  • Hard News: Nasty mixtures,

    I fucking hate spikers. They're up there with murderers and rapists, breaking the courtesy of consent. The greater harm these days lies not in the individual substances, but polydrug lotto. The Misuse of Drugs Act needs to be completely rewritten to properly mitigate the greater harms of inferior or dodgy quality, lucrative super-profits, and hypocrisy (Got Ritalin?).

    If we don't get this sorted, there's a lot more evil shit on the way. Time to front up before the mental health accounts go ballistic. Comparatively speaking.

    The Oz stats are unsurprising. Over there, weed is a hick drug. Good for Nimbin, but the cities are in another class altogether. It's a bit like expecting stoners at the Viaduct. Wrong target market.

    Bad karma to the Jesus Campbell Show for that bit.

  • OnPoint: D47: Dynamite!,

    Hey, while you're over there, try getting to see them dismantling the ships. There's something worth seeing.

  • OnPoint: D47: Dynamite!,

    Yeah, the heavy metals would be a problem. I don't think Moa Point has a problem with heavy metals.
