  • Hard News: Clover It,

    the cursor the winking class...

    Usually I tell people that they can tell when I'm being facetious because my fingers are typing.

    "air" typing...
    "cloud" computing...
    ...heavens!
    where will it all end?
    ;- )


    Give peas a chance...

    Young gorse doesn't work so well but as it ages it lets enough light in to provide an ideal environment for nurturing natives. The seedlings eventually out grow the gorse which is averse to being in shadow and dies. The technique is being successfully used on Banks Peninsula.

    Gorses for courses!


    poor Pogo, it's a no-go au go-go...

    ...but only if that other noxious interloper, the brush-tailed possum, is kept in check.

    ... kept in check!?
    ... keeping it on the chess board
    would be hard enough...


    Gene Pool Satyrs...

    ...I believe that there are more risks in the former than that latter scenario, but in both cases there needs to be plenty of testing and trials done before the result is put into production.

    mix n match
    dice n slice
    where on Earth
    is the control?

    the untinkered
    the reboot
    and rebirth
    if things don't
    quite work out...

    ...always difficult on a
    draughty one room planet
    with wet wainscotting...
    we always share the place
    with consequences...

    is it already too late for Ark-NZ ?

  • Up Front: Can't We All Just Fucking Get Along?,

    getting along... getting along... ah, ah, ah

    If feminism is an ideology, and as loose and open a one as people seem to be saying generally here, then why can't a man be a feminist?

    is the world ready for... Femenism! ©

    ...but "feminists" implies the Borg

    fem-in-nine = seven-of-nine?

  • Hard News: The Disingenuous Press,

    We can all live with bias.

    but it is, nonetheless, an obliquely cutting edge
    going against the grain of our cultural fabric...
    hi ho ...weave weft to warp

    It's pronounced How-Ick, right?

    No, I think it's just 'Ow-ick,
    they didn't fight hard enough for their aitch...

  • Hard News: Costly indeed,

    Is his life out of control?

    Well, he does look a bit tired...

  • Island Life: That's my cab,

    Sotto voce populi, quiescent...
    So that's what happens
    when ya pull the plug
    at the heart of the island...

    we'll be LOST
    without you...
    Mister Slack

    waif erring strangers
    and chipper fools...
    parsing in the night

    so long & thanks
    for all the fizz,
    fun and fillips


    (if ya ever need anything
    from The Random Factory,
    bad puns and the like,
    just let me know...)

  • Hard News: The Future of the Future,

    Running the long history of public broadcasting through a gameshow format hosted by Jason Gunn -- kind of says it all.

    TVNZ always had the default mindset
    of taking broadcasting in light
    to mean light entertainment...

  • Radiation: Geek, annoyed,

    Jack, knave, knight...

    as Bob says:

    He took whatever he wanted to
    and he laid it all to waste
    But his bodyguards and silver cane
    were no match for the Jack of Hearts.

    ...not just a deck hand then!

  • Hard News: The Future of the Future,

    So what do we all think of Coronation Street's new titles...

    surprised they didn't get Lily Allen or Dizzee Rascal vocal track added (for da kidz)...
    and gosh that looks like real exterior shots!
    at least there is still a cat on the roof...

  • Hard News: The Future of the Future,

    Grammarginalia...

    ...or however you spell yer dipthongs

    diphthongs = æ, oi, ou, ea...

    We have to watch our aitches in NZ now!
