Sunday People 2.0
The similarity between our All Blacks and the National Party is disturbing. The Nats, who could govern alone if elected today, are now downplaying any talk of peaking too early. Perhaps the Rugby World Cup outcome in October will be a harbinger …
Ann Summers is going to have a busy week. Advertising for her iGasm, a vibrating tool which plugs into MP3 players is getting attention from Apple. Stuff reports that Apple reckons “the iGasm ads, which show a female silhouette listening to an iPod with a cord snaking into her underwear, are a rip-off of its own iPod ads”. I’m siding with Apple on this one.
My blog competition is entertaining a few people. Today, the Google Adword was ‘Sunday’. I’ve changed it now. The clue was: what day did the Allied troops land at Gallipoli? Of course it was April 25th 1915. ANZAC Day, many of you thought. It fell on a Sunday that year. Although after reading about the update from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian (no relation) calendar, adopted by the Turks in 1927, I’m not sure anymore. The British Colonies switched in 1752 so we’ll run with their version.
Local singer, Hollie Smith, signed a multi-album deal with Blue Note (ex-EMI Jazz) last week. They took Norah Jones to the world; let’s hope they do an even better job with Hollie!
I’m glad Peter Griffin is back at his home blog again, as well as blogging for the NZ Herald. The recent rise of ‘Publogs’ feels more like editorial written by paid journalists, masquerading as Publisher Blogs.
Andrew Mayfield’s adventure with Silverstripe this weekend is worth reading if you’re a geek wanting a local CMS. Finally thank you to Sagat for scooping my Shepherd’s Tale last week. It made Scoop front page for a day.
Well, that’s another week gone. Goodnight Kiwis. This will make you homesick if you’re reading from overseas.
Scoopit!

I guess the links’ doing the rounds … there’s a couple of amusing edits on YouTube.
