Actually, this discussion about WTF green power actually means is a good example of a worthwhile conversation.
I'll see if I can ask someone from Powershop to front and answer the questions.

More a concern that I felt those comments maybe needed a stronger disclaimer, an indication of what PA/Russell Brown was getting from the company (which you've provided today) so we could assess your comments about it in their light.
And I don't mind you saying so. Indeed, I rely on you saying so.
I'm being quite sincere when I say that the appeal of these campaigns is that they're about us as independent publishers, rather than just being the tail end of someone else's media buy. But it is experimental, and it involves y'all as an audience and a community, so it helps me get a read on things.
In that spirit, Ffunnell is discussing a campaign with Freeview. A reader each from participating sites gets a Freeview PVR, on the condition that they blog about their experience of entering the world of digital time-shifting. They'd be someone who didn't have any form of digital TV or recorder.
I made it clear that we'd have to do it our way -- no daily posts (eg: perhaps two posts over two weeks would be appropriate), it'd have to be someone who could write engagingly enough to make it worthwhile, and I'd clearly explain the basis on which things were being done.
What do you think? It clearly benefits the lucky punter who gets a PVR, we get a little money, and -- hopefully -- the conversation is worthwhile.

It's a bit rich for him to gripe that you've blurred the line between editor/advertiser when his own employer happily publishes a weekly Apple wankfest under the guise of a "blog".
I feel I should offer to fight you, but I might accidentally scratch my iPhone. I know Mark Webster, and he'd tell you himself he's an unabashed cheerleader for the Mac platform, so they knew what they were getting when they hired him.
Oddly enough, the Powershop reporting I thought did go too far was the Campbell Live story on Monday night, which was presented as a report but came across as a promotional video.

I think Drinnan's a little bit in love with you.
I'm afraid my heart will always belong to David Cohen.

Hey, that's almost me!
Almost bastard!

Oops fucked that up. Not sure about this embedding thing. Meant to be Neil in his vocoder stage.
No worries -- I fixed it. You don't need the embed code here -- just paste in the URL.

Another reason why Obama is a man for the times: his voice auto-tunes brilliantly:

Man, I hope all news programmes start using the vocoder, bad news never sounded so good.
Strictly speaking, it's not a vocoder but the Auto-tune, as employed by Cher, T-Pain, Kanye, etc ...
The creator is nerdcore "star" Michael Gregory, who has a channel fulla auto-tune mash-ups.
He also auditioned for American Idol:

In other news, Conor Roberts has just sent out an email saying he's decided not to put his name forward for the Mt Albert nomination.

Mother, not morther. Oh, nevermind.
Actually, I think you'll find that was a Nirvana album.
