Hard News: The Digital Natives, in reply to Tristan,
has any one heard from Paul Brislan recently?
I believe he's just stepped down as TUANZ CEO...

I did get an official denial from Huntly's @DekaSign on Twitter yesterday.

Speaker: Sponsored post: Speed and Safety, in reply to Bart Janssen,
There is one key assumption in that … that is both cars are identical … however most accidents occur between non-identical cars … in those cases you are significantly better off in the heavier car and with a better crumple zone. In accidents where one car significantly outweighs the other then for the heavy car it is much better to hit another car than to hit a wall.
I used to work with a chap who drove an old-school Land Rover. He said the crumple zones on it were 3 feet into the other car.

Which brings up a good point, are NZTA getting their money's worth? How many of y'all have had a speeding ticket or significant crash recently?
My last speeding ticket was about 14 years back, and my last crash (which was my fault, but not speed related) further back than that.
I believe I am becoming more aware recently of my own driving behaviours as my oldest boy approaches driving age (he's begun swotting up on the road code, even though he more than a year away from a learner's). Which isn't to say that I don't have a stack of iffy habits accumulated over the years since I got my full licence.

So, this post is sponsored by the NZTA. Does this mean our speeding tickets are indirectly feeding Russell and his clan?

Up Front: The Kids are All Right, in reply to BenWilson,
How does it look to them? I’m curious if this hyperconnectedness is something people born to it actually complain about.
It would be akin to fish complaining about water. Or us complaining that telephones make it too easy to contact people. Or about something else that I can't quite put my finger on - there's a forest there somewhere, but I cant see it for all the trees in the way.

I have seen good things said about http://www.patreon.com/ as a way of patronising (in a good way) your favourite web content folks.

Sounds like Russell enjoyed his day tomorrow. According to Sweetman anyways.
Actually reading this link not recommended...

Took the kids and dog to Papamoa beach over the break. Three water beasties splashing and jumping...
