Hard News: Future shock for the media, in reply to patrick mcmillan,
Looking forward to the show, I have got ‘mysky’ ready to record the show, what time on thursday for the recording?
Oops -- I've just added that to the post. We'll need you there at 5.30pm.

Would you be so generous if she were male, American and ran a hedge fund? Just exploring thought patterns.
Oh, it's not anywhere on the level of evil as a hedge fund, and it's a consequence of the environment as much as anything else. But I did find all the cheerleading about the sale a bit unpersuasive. It's not like Wildfire makes anything or improves the human experience.

My guess is that that those revenues will be in the low seven figures indefinitely.
So you're doubting a 60-fold increase in revenue in five years? Surely not ...

Hard News: Christchurch: Is "quite good"…, in reply to Leigh Russell,
Hi Russell, I’ve come to this discussion rather late in the piece. I love these descriptions of drama in the landscape juxtaposed with the day-to-day reality of Auckland’s hum of increasing development and the enjoy-as-you-go attitude of the locals!
I had fun explaining New Zealand's geological hazards to my friend's British partner yesterday. His eyes widened as we went through Auckland's volcanic risks -- "and then of course there's Taupo. It's really game over for New Zealand if that blows."
Given that my friend is keen to come back here to live when their new baby's of school age, this possibly wasn't very helpful of me ...

Sigh.

That's great! I made it embed for you. All you need to do here is just paste in the URL, long or short version.

I ran out of time for Soundcloud scouring today, but I reckon this is pretty amazing:
Destiny's Child - Say My Name (Cyril Hahn Remix)
Down-pitched vocals ftw.

Speaker: The gathering of the small tribe, in reply to Stewart,
I reckon Islander’s got some valid points to make, as someone who actually is a prominent ANZ author, and while she may be a little heavy-handed in giving grief to Graham I think it is fair enough for her to voice her opinions.
It certainly is. I just thought her characterisation of what Graham wrote is unfair. He was at an event and he wrote about it. I have little idea of the politics of this world, but his description seems in line with everything else I've read about the event.

Speaker: The gathering of the small tribe, in reply to Islander,
C)Graham - I find - what to me is a self-congratulatory tone of "o look here I am among my own folk and ent we doing good?" - fairly sickening.
I accept that you might have issues with people in the book trade, but that's not a reason to take it out on Graham. My reading of his tone is entirely different to yours.
