  • Hard News: Big Night Outage,

    I'm sort of an unofficial Civil Defense node for my neighborhood. I have a petrol generator and being a micro ISP for about 20ish households when things go tits up like a power cut everyone comes over to cook on the bbq/use my radio or sat phone.

    I've always felt that we should build resilience into people *and* infrastructure.

    My disaster plan is ... silly redundant.

  • Speaker: Hall of Memories,

    It's sad to see so many of my old drinking grounds no longer there. Gardies, Chicks. The Bowler all gone now. I do so hope the Crown is still there.

  • Hard News: Radio Punks: So many stories,

    Many, many moons ago I was an (unpaid) worker on a community radio station in Motueka called Harvest Radio, then called Fresh FM.

    It was run from initially the Motueka Rec center then a Marae, It was the first 'job' I ever had, and arguably the best.

  • Speaker: On the upland road,

    It is probably unworkable but I would like to see some kind of mandated disclosure of all paid for content that's run where you would normally see content ie if you are paid to run content of any kind that's not obviously an advertisement it should be labeled as such.

  • Hard News: The judge is not helping,

    That is twice in one year I find myself cheering Mr Oil.

    He's kinda the Fox news of the NZ blogosphere, distasteful but needed.

    That people tend to place their own welfare (and that of groups they identify with) above that of others, even if they are a tiny minority.

    I have always been somewhat of the belief that anyone who wants to be a politician should be prevented from becoming one, and the concept of being governed entirely by a council chosen totally at random feels like a good concept to me but I fear unlikely to work in reality with human nature being what it is.
