Battlestar Galactica Bits and Pieces

Monday, March 24th, 2008

I can’t wait until the new season hits our screens. Season four is scheduled to kick off in a few weeks and just to breach the gap, here’s a teaser. Mind, it has season three spoilers. Oh, and the great news is that the Battlestar prequel, Caprica, has been officially greenlighted. Super news.

Happy Easter

Easter Basket Near Christchurch
Happy chocolate egg day to all. I’m not a particularly religious person, but Easter can be a time of reflection for everyone. A time to sit back and think about the beginnings and endings of the past year. I hope you all have a wonderful day with your families and friends. Don’t forget to go out and get some fresh Easter air, the web can survive without you for a few hours.

Our differences are insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Carl Sagan reads from his book ‘The Pale Blue Dot’.

Mix08 Viewing Party Tonight

Monday, March 10th, 2008

I love the idea of more and more get-togethers for bloggers and tech-heads. More coffee meetups, more informal dinners - just more.

That’s why I really like Martha’s viewing party. Martha is organising a Mix08 viewing party tonight from 7pm at the Odessa Club on Dame Court. The Mix08 vids will be on show, demos and all. Why not drop by Martha’s and get the full details.

Two of Us

Monday, February 25th, 2008

I’m mad busy at work trying to finish off bits and pieces before a couple of days off, but I couldn’t let today pass by without posting to celebrate the late George Harrison’s birthday. If George were alive today, he’d be sixty-five. I could be predictable and post a link to song that George wrote, but I don’t like being predictable. Instead, I’m sitting back listening to one of my favourite Beatle ballads from Let It Be.
