Mr-Knowsitall: Why fi in New Zealand?
Got an answer, at last, to my query on using wifi in New Zealand but Tumblr once again INFURIATES me by cutting off the words when I want to reblog. (WHAT HAVE YOU GOT AGAINST WORDS, MORONS RUNNING THIS SHOW?) Anyway, here ya go, pasted back in:
Dear Judefa:
The image above shows New Zealand prefers dial-up instead of wifi as sheep do not have USB ports. As for complications, there’s hoof-and-keyboard disease and using bluetooth may lead to blue tongue. Hot spots should be treated with a good antibiotic ointment. Sincerely, Mr. Knowsitall
And never mind about the wifi. You just reminded me that it’s a very quirky country with a lot of sheep, a deadpan brand of humour and a somewhat cynical view of “progress”.
Using wifi while on the move in New Zealand?
I’m taking a Macbook to New Zealand soon. It’s only a few months old.
Question is will I be able to connect to wifi there in the same way as in Australia, in homes and “hot spots”?
Anyone know if there are any complications?
What is a hipster, and how do you identify one?
Apparently most of the culture boils down to judging: “Judging items, activities, bands, companies, clothes, oneself and most importantly other people. If someone else is less savvy, cutting edge or knowledgeable than you, doesn’t that mean you are a better person?”
Scroll down past the big chart at the top for detailed explanation just to check whether they’re talking about you. “Hipsters ignore rules because they think it will make them look like they don’t care. There is no end result, just a continuous cycle of mediocre indie rock and scruffy looking dudes. By basing their actions on avoiding the mainstream, they are in fact guided by the mainstream.”Turned out they were talking about me :=( unless I am too old to qualify as an actual “hipster”.

Cloggo:—- Look Jude, another section of the Royston Vasey to OZ tunnel we have’nt seen before. Thanks Lynn
A tunnel that doubles as a peacock’s tail and still connects Cloggo and me. God, I love it!
Turning Google search results into works of art
Most people see Google’s image search as a quick way to find a picture. Ken Solomon sees art. Literally.
Solomon is a Brooklyn-based artist who has spent the past couple of years working on stuff with a digital bent. One recent strain: recreating the contents of a Web browser, such as Google results pages and Facebook profiles, using watercolor on paper.

Well, if it isn’t little Eustace and his maw and paw out for a Sunday stroll in about 1920.
PS
Eustace slimmed down very nicely once he let go of mummy’s hand, although he is still vaguely egg-shaped.
With apologies regarding the source.
This lovely thing was simply carried on the wind.
