notwithstanding Zse Ming's starter for ten...
this once again just proves that herald journalists are lazy and herald editors are into xenophobia in a big way, which i'm sure is just fine for the paper's owners because sensational headlines sell papers. try looking at the Zaoui coverage from day 1...

early good sites:
webworkshop! (yeah, rob and lance, guilty as charged)
CHC Press was the first nz paper i regularly visited. back in the mid-90s my hatred of the herald was visceral and their web presence was nada.
early tvnz site (before they f-ed it up c.1999)

scoop and hard news around 9/11. on a friday if i turned my mac on at work and there was no new hard news for the week i would be swearing about that lazy rb for a couple of hours ;-)

frogblog leading up to the 2005 election. sooo good, which is why i have now had it with the current incarnation of frogblog. lame. lazy. waste of time. treats its users with contempt. some nice people used to comment, most of them have left the room.norightturn is great. but i/s, will you ever move to a better platform? blogger sucks. and it's a pity there is only a handful of interesting regular commenters.

- radio nz until a couple of years ago. what a disaster. -
a meddley of Joy Division, of course!
- New Dawn Fades
- Transmission
- Love Will Tear Us Apart
- Atmosphereand to finish, because it's got the best lyrics of any song I've ever heard:
- Twenty Four Hours
("Now that I've realized, how it's all gone wrong
Got to find some therapy, this treatment takes too long
Deep in the heart of, where sympathy held sway
Got to find my destiny, before it gets too late")
