Saw an item about these guys on TV3's Sunrise this morning and looked them up on Youtube. Some shots are quite amazing! http://bit.ly/kOugi
Here is one of their best videos!
It is now 2010. For me it is amazing how fast the first decade of the 21st Century has flown by. Here are my thoughts for the developments that will shape the coming year.
While here in NZ John Key will remain the puppet to the puppet-masters behind the scenes, who will seek to slowly erode what the previous government had put in place.
One final note: I hope that, for Auckland's sake, John Banks does not get elected as mayor of the Auckland super city. It will all come down to who has the deepest coffers!
Finally got around to posting this. It is quite an amazing spectacle!
I have decided to concentrate on my Twitter and Facebook accounts for the time being, but will keep this up just in case I want to return.

Saw the tralier for James Cameron's new film 'Avatar' and really like the look of it. The story is set in the future, and is centered around a paralysed soldier who gets the chance to walk again thnanks to a neural link with a genetically enginnered 'Avatar.' Once connected, he gets the chance to explore a rainforest covered extraterrestrial moon as a forward scout for a military force sent to extract minerals. He then falls in love with one of the native aliens (the Na'vi) and becomes confilicted over his actial mission.
If you want to read more, Wikipedia has a good synopsis.
Here is the trailer, which I think is quite spectacular.
I found this item from TVNZ's 'CloseUp' to be
quite alarming, even though some of the people who were stopped gave
fake passwords. The list of the top 50 most common passwords
internationally, is quite shocking as well!
I think this is a fun article to read, especially from a NZers point of view.
]]>From Saturday at 7pm to Sunday at 6pm TV3 held the first telethon NZ had seen in 15 years, raising $1,944,225 for the KidsCan charitable trust, which is involved in supporting children living in poverty.
Overall it was a lot of fun, with TV3 personalities, NZ celebrities, and a few Aussies thrown into the mix as well.
I totally support the cause and am glad that so much money was raised. Here is the highlights reel that was played at the end of the event.
I'm very glad, as my sister Elizabeth is back in NZ (albiet for a very short time). Currently she is touring around to Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch playing at the university music schools with the Ensemble Selisih. Afterwards, she is going to stay here for a time after the rest of the group leaves.
Not long enough though.
Elizabeth has already been featured on Radio NZ's Concert FM programme, Upbeat, and the group she is a part of received a good review from the NZ Herald.
