There's an app for that, I'm sure.
This one seems close enough.
ETA:
Russell, I'm pretty sure we need a "print this to t-shirt" function!
I can attest that Blair Parkes brick font works well for this.

Seriously dude, you're not the fucking terminator.
No, but he might see himself as Robocop.

“A web designer walks into a bar….and walks out again as soon as he realises they’re using tables.”
Another man walks into the bar. "Hey, there's this hairy chested guy outside blabbering and making obtuse gestures in the air".
Bartender "yeah, he just walked in, saw our nest of tables in the corner and then ran out".

Woah. That’s some deep shit right there.
I believe this to be deeper.
Quote "It's like a giant magnifying glass, pretty much". No, you don't say?

And a wind-up torch now, too. Got it at the Mitre 10 Mega Centre on Sunday. I'm ready.
Pffft. My wind-up radio has a built in torch. And it's waterproof. Ready? I'm going disaster hunting for the halibut.

If you’re on the waterfront, I can’t really see the point of not being exposed to your major point of interest.
You could hardly cover the waterfront.

Hard News: How much speech does it take?, in reply to
Often do so manually
That's true too, and it works for the most part. Except when you get that 'it can't be that bad' bravado, and it invariably is. Or worse.

No, I haven't. Most outbound links here tend to be to worthwhile sources.
They do. But I wonder if a clever tech could issue a warning note on certain site links saying:
"You are entering a site whose head doesn't know what it's arseholes are doing" or some such, to follow the theme of Gio's link.

In yet more happy news, I'm told that there is a pretty good chance of the Laneway festival next summer shifting to Wynyard Quarter.
That would be brilliant!
Carry on with the cycling bit, but this got me buzzing. The space felt very inviting, and as if it should have always been there, which it should. Imagining it filled with modern music is a very nice sentiment indeed. Not to mention the photo ops.
Some great photos of Wynyard Quarter by Sydney of EyeOnAuckland blog.
I looked at those off your tw feed, and there are some great ones there. My own efforts where truncated by torrential rain. It was a fun place to run through with your head down looking for cover, I'll say that.
