PUBLIC ADDRESS 07/06/07 - Supplement Questions

An unexpectedly long post about supplements and stuff | Jun 07, 2007 08:43
Russell Brown's Hard News

I called The Listener with a message for Mr Matt Nippert yesterday. The gist of the message - nay, its entirety - was "Hahahahaha - you're on The Panel with Christine Rankin today". In the event, Matt kept his composure admirably, even when she enthused about how there must be...

Never mind the sock puppets and barnyard animals, this is the kind of thing you want to see on your morning-tea television. Take a look at this performance by Australia's Industrial Relations Minister, Joe Hockey.

Googlin' on Hobson Street | Jun 06, 2007 09:29
Russell Brown's Hard News

TVNZ is in the final stages of negotiation with Google on what would seem to be an alliance involving YouTube. A Star Times story (no longer available, or at least searchable) hinted that TVNZ was looking to support a regional version of YouTube, but I guess we'll have to wait...

Snapped! | Jun 05, 2007 21:57
David Slack on his own account

The camera never lies. Google Street View has been catching people unawares, sunbathing, sidling out of nudie bars, loafing on the job. But the quiet toilers who seek no glory for their selfless efforts are coming into their own as the camera snaps away. Here are some shots...

Stories: Overseas Experience
Public Address System discussion

Be it a bacchanalian romp through the continent or a serious career development move, the big OE has been a rite of passage for young New Zealanders for a century or more. Feel free to file a report if you're on one now, or share the story of the journey that is but a distant memory. Was it the making of you? Did you forget to come home? Is it all different now?

New Dataz | Jun 01, 2007 10:35
Russell Brown's Hard News

Apple got its DRM-free EMI catalogue - which we should now call iTunes Plus - online just in time to meet it May deadline, but you might want to wait a day or two if you're planning on upgrading your existing EMI purchases to the higher-quality 256k format. I had...

Late for What? | Jun 01, 2007 08:51
David Haywood from Christchurch

When you're in a supermarket, and you hear an irate mother chastise her children with the words "Padmé, stop hitting Anakin!", you know that it proves something. Maybe it proves the non-existence of God. After all, if God existed he would surely strike dead a woman who names her offspring...

David Slack on his own account

John Key Hi God, please bless the school mums in their four-wheel drives and the ambitious dads on struggle street and the kids in McGehan Close and all the rest of South Auckland as well, and of course Bill English and the reporters who have been top value on this...

We . . .the People? | May 31, 2007 12:27
Graham Reid's many things

Some time around the end of the 60s I remember reading an interview with Abbie Hoffman, the activist-cum-clown of the Yippie Movement. In it he said he didn't mind John Wayne -- a man whom we might have considered Hoffman's polar opposite -- because at least he knew where he...

COMMENT

Peter Dunne: Dunne's Weekly - The Wrong Answer To A Question That Does Not Exist

The Treaty is therefore our modus operandi for common nationhood. It is not about the dominance of one signatory over the other, but as Norman Kirk said, about how we all live together in these islands. In that regard, the Treaty Principles Bill is simply the wrong answer to a question that does not properly exist.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: Perception, Conception And Beauty

As we get older the perception of beauty becomes more difficult because memories & experiences fill the mind, leaving less & less space for seeing with innocence, as a child sees. It requires diligence to retain a purity of perception, though the very notion of purity is ridiculed by ruling elites.

Alastair Thompson: On The Publication Of The First NCQG Text 'New Collective Quantified Goal On Climate Finance'

COP29 is officially due to end on November 22nd but almost certainly will not do so, as there is not yet even a total number for climate finance on the table - which is one of the the things that Developing Nations are pushing for.

Ramzy Baroud: A Nation In Denial - Why Israel’s Defeat Is Imminent

They continue to reference and recycle old religious dogmas, while fervently praying for miracles. In doing so, they insist on reconstructing a new 'Fantasy Israel', which, of course, is set to collapse, as fantasies often do.

Richard S. Ehrlich: Trump's Victory, Authoritarians & Trade Warriors

Trump's victory may bring some relief for the leaders of three authoritarian, pro-China, Southeast Asian nations -- Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia. His tough threats are expected to intimidate Asians hoping to move to the U.S. or profit from Chinese-U.S. trade.
