In technological news I’m currently trying out a new browser called Camino, which is Camino doing it for the Mac posse. It promises to be fast and definitely lives up to that promise. It’s pretty stripped back compared to Firefox which helps. It does mean a ‘low-tech’ browser in terms of add-ons [...]

Smart people in Nu Zuld

Anyone else check out the gorgeous sky porn last night? My beloved and I were driving out of the supermarket carpark and we were like “holy shit! that is so wow!”.
Some clever people thought it was a plane crashing. Sigh.
Last night for viewing the McNaught Comet tonight so hope for clear skies.
And it [...]

OK so it’s been a while..

Little known fact: I originally set up this blog because I wanted to get into the habit of writing so I might just maybe start writing better.
Little did I know that I was about to fill a void in the NZ blogosphere by writing about political issues from a Green perspective. Which, at [...]

Hilarious in joke

So tonight I was chatting to a friend online and this conversation had me in stiches. I'm sure none of you will get it but some of you may recognise the style of my funny friend and will be equally amused.
Enjoy

Cool, geeky, Green stuff!

I like saving the planet.  And I like using cool technologies to do it.  That's why I ABSOLUTELY ADORE GREEN TV!
It's still early days for this crew, but I reckon there's some awesome potential there.  I'll certainly be tuning in.
Which kinda reminds me, for those of you wondering what I've been up to in Green [...]

Lovin it

I love satire. The humour of satire is definitely my favourite.
And I love cyber-action. As I am such a nerd
That’s why I absolutely adore www.stolenwealthgames.com
Big ups to the genius behind it. Quite possibly one of the raddest people I have ever met!
And the press release rocks too!

Frog 1 NBR 0

For those of you who missed it, Francis Till from the NBR wrote an extensive article critiquing the Green position on OSS, and it was, to put it nicely completely full of shit. Frog had a good go trashing the arguments and a number of the comments on that post are very interesting as [...]

IT moment

The Denizen has a good analysis on the Telecon hack. If you don’t understand who the bad guys are in this situation, read it. If you still don’t get it, maybe try reading the entire back catalogue of 2600 As an aside, the latest issue is pretty good, I now know more than [...]

Scuse me while I indulge

I must have picked up some new readers recently as the stats are picking up nicely. So for you newbies, read WorldChanging now and every day from now on. If you’re a greeny hippy you’ll love it and if you’re not you might be able to pull your head out your ass for [...]

I want some!!

World Changing has a story about solar powered wallpaper. That’s seriously cool.
Wonder if it comes in pink?

Anti-corporate activism can be so much fun

So anyway, Wal Mart in the US were getting pissed off about all the people stealing their trolleys so they got this new high tech trolley. It’s great. It has a little box that sits over the front left wheel, containing a sensor. When ever it goes over something bright yellow, it [...]

More saturn gorgeousness

This one is so, so, so pretty!!

Yay it’s election year

When I woke up on the 1st of Jan one of the first thoughts that went through my brain was "election year - yes!" I must admit, I am a complete geek when it comes to elections, I love them! Hell of a lot of work but it's one of those rare times [...]

From the reborn-semi-infamous-dept.

So apparently we read it here first. 'it' being the phenomena of blogging (Sorry I can't link to the referred article, you have to actually buy it). And the prediction has come true and blogging is now 'the thing' to do. No offence to Nigel cause a) I think he's a really [...]
