i'm really looking forward to seeing nz election commentary come from the frog blog team from the nz green party have to say leading into the election this year

there is actually a hidden message in this dialog, which appears when you click the button labelled "erase all annotations" in skype desktop-sharing app yugma

this is why i prefer reading the web via RSS: content truncation

i'm gonna play to my kids to get them to sleep one day. maybe i'll hit stop before the "goodnight from channel two" voiceover at the end though :)

imagine growing up today in a world where "television never ends", how's that grab ya?

Meet Hunter!

After three days of first-stage labour for Saira, Hunter was born at our home in Opanuku Road, surrounded by native bush and birds.

Being able to have the birth at home was an amazing and moving experience that we're lucky to have shared. Thanks SO MUCH to our midwives Karen Bettley and Chris Hamilton. We're deeply grateful for their efforts and commitment in spending so much time to ensure our birth was a natural and beautiful one.

Thanks also to Helen (Grandma) Lal, who stayed with us and gave her love and support throughout the process. And to Henry and Leanne for the super-cool Uglydoll (in background of pic above), to Jacqui (Nana?) for the beautiful flowers, and to Interflora for their quick delivery and valiant attempts to climb our driveway in their van.

Hunter is a Libra, weighed 7lb (3.2kg) at birth, and was born at 9.24am on Saturday, 29 September, in the year of the Fire Boar 2007. He has super cool sideburns.

Love to yas all from Hunter, Chris and Saira!

i'm building this at the moment, so don't expect it to work just yet :)

disturbingly, most of the people i know who done one have ended up looking mostly like this anyway

i'm so generic ... ben has one too, he says it doesn't let him save either. perhaps it's a clever attempt to keep the meme in the hands of those technically talented enough to take a screen grab?

portapak.net, a new online resource for furby hackers and featuring up to the minute interviews of Vlad the Impala's ghost plus online sales of spiky things used to keep prisoners from getting back down off their spikes and the hell out of Transylwania, is now online. highly recommended viewing, hell if you're here and looking at all this trash, you could hardly do worse, right?

welcome to the intarweb, ben! and good work eschewing those nasty big dumb sites in favour of adding your own special sauce to this giant curry that is the pogosfear!
