Me at work says: Climate change, as Tony Blair says, is “a challenge so far-reaching in its impact and irreversible in its destructive power, that it alters radically human existence”. The future gets even gloomier, as there are a range of nasty mechanisms that could lead to abrupt climate changes. We don’t yet know what …
Saturday 12 till 3 pm, Sunday 5 till 7. I’m supervising both training sessions. Go hard or go “ooh, my back!” You know I’m kidding, right? No bodyweight exercise is going to get you looking this deformed.

Biked to work in a t-shirt today, so I declare it to be officially Spring. A friend unknowingly referred to Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” as “An Inconceivable Truth”. And that’s scarily accurate. For all those Burners out there, especially those traveling long distance – Cooling Man Bedtime Stories by Thom Yorke. Words that I …

So, its time for intarwebulation: GPS, MTB, Wellington Serpentes on a shippe Cows with accents. From Summerset, of course. Bloody immigrants! Oh hang …

Mass bombing plot? What mass bombing plot – can you really blow up a plane with hair gel?
So, who wants to cruise round town on saturday in the Merc with the lowered suspension? Though I should point out that it’ll be lowered coz it’ll be full of our stuff. Yes, its moving house time and this time, we’ll be moving what’s in the house, not what’s in the shed. And then we …
If I dredged up all my neuroses and wrote a computer game about it, it would look like this: Yes, its global thermonuclear war, the strategy for which was described by the game author as: “everybody dies, so try to lose the least”. Its by the people who did the retro-cool Darwinia, the most innovative …
Old place had Telecom+Orcon. Orcon great, Telecom donkeys nobs. New place has Saturn/TelstraClear thing. Should we go with that over Telecom?
Spot the error in the latest government press release: Employment highest, unemployment lowest ever They’re claiming the “lowest unemployment rate on record”. Well, only because the current way of recording it changed in the 1980s. In reality, the unemployment rate was lowest in March 1951, when it was 12. Yup, twelve people were unemployed in …

We will be sipping gin and juice1, hanging our thang out the window of the Mercedes Benz, turbo popping, subs bumping, laydeez jumping. Or some activity of that ilk. However, I suggest that we …
Why don’t we get good Goan Trance in NZ? Its sunny in summer, we’ve beaches and copious amounts of dope? You’d think that you couldn’t move in Takaka for Goan Trance, but no, its all organic dub. After four years of studying, I’m really missing my immediate gratification. Also, my desk is really tidy! Hurrah! …
Whoops, nearly had another Chernobyll – near-meltdown incident at Swedish nuclear reactor. Best party ever. Fact number 5734: Magdalene College, Cambridge, owns all of Covent Garden in London. And sadly, according to the deed of 1574, they’re only allowed to charge a rent of fifteen pounds (although it is specified to be fifteen pounds of …
Wandering my way back home from the nights revels, an intoxicated lady asked if I was an “original gangster”. No, I am a bureaucrat. Although, I do consider myself a badass hardcore motherfucker bureaucrat.
Climbing was fun last night. And Fergs really was the place to be, it was fair heaving. Managed the big overhang, possibly due to not pfaffing and going for it, possibly due to the big difference from last time – lots of front lever training. Its the muscles to keep the hips up when hanging …
