Random thoughts and equally random web links. Unfortunately for you, I like to share.

Is that a rocket in your pocket?

Well, it’s been quite a day for all things spacelike, hasn’t it? What with rocket launches and alien invasions that aren’t alien invasions. Okay, so we haven’t got a Kiwi astronaut going for a  spacewalk in their jandals and Swanndri…

How to win friends and stalk people

Poor ol’ Bill Gates, he had to give up on Facebook because too many people wanted to be his friend. Actually, that’s what I find a wee bit creepy about Facebook, the “friends”. I mean really, total strangers want to…

Talented and funny

Okay, so maybe I’ve been living under a rock because this video has already been on the net for more than a year, but here it is anyway: a surprisingly good cover of Hallelujah, my all-time favourite song (although, I’m a fan of Leonard Cohen’s original rather than Jeff Buckley’s cover).

You feeling lucky, punk?

It’s the big Big Wednesday draw tonight and it seems like everyone’s making plans to win the dosh. I suppose in the scheme of things, $25 million in cash plus the goodies (cars etc) isn’t as huge as some of…

Just wondering:whips

Do you ever wonder if the people who buy “equestrian” supplies actually own horses? If those whips and other horsey items really are for equine pastimes or whether they are going to find their way into the bedroom?  What exactly…
