2012 Holiday Specials: The Quest for the Tablet

Hey look at that... 150 posts. That's like, one every eight days! Lovely.

Anyway. Today is Boxing Day here in New Zealand, and true to the day's name, there's bound to be some adults somewhere fighting over the last heavily-reduced-in-price laptop. Reminds be of all those Black [Eye] Friday shopping stories I keep hearing about in the U.S.

2012 Holiday Specials: My Christmas Misadventure

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays, everyone!

Now that the presents are being unwrapped, I figured I'd continue on from yesterday about what happened this year with me and my shopping 'ordeal', since it involves one of the presents that was meant to be saved as a surprise.

2012 Holiday Specials: Last Minute Christmas

It's Christmas Eve!

Yes, it's been a long wait, but per usual we save the best holidays until last, and just like that it's next year all over again.

2012 Holiday Specials: Internet Real Estate

So I don't know if you know about this thing called 'squatting'; that is, using someone's unoccupied house without their permission while they are away for long periods of time. It's an issue that's popped up a few times around New Zealand, most recently with that million dollar Wellington house back in November. Providing there is proof that the occupant broke in, it's a pretty simple case.
In terms of the internet real estate world however, it's a different story.

2012 Holiday Specials: After Newtown

Oh what a dark dark day it was, on the 14th of December, 2012.

I probably don't need to go back into detail about the Sandy Hook shooting, since you can probably find most of the news coverage online anyway. The angle, which I think most journalists are now picking up on, is "Will this change the gun laws in the United States?".

2012 Holiday Specials: The 187th End of the World

Ok, before we begin today I'd like to make a correction to a previous blog post, in which I referred to Harold Camping incorrect Judgement Day prediction in 2011 as the 30th end of the world. That number has dramatically increased over the last year and a bit, and according to the one and only "free encyclopaedia that anyone can edit", that is now incorrect prediction #181.
The whole admiration of the 2012... thing must've got a whole lot of people intrigued about doomsdays if they managed to find another 150 of them!

So this could in essence be the last of my posts, and such a bummer... just when I got a full head of steam and my typing fingers ready, the world decides to go and end.

THE COUNTDOWN!

(it's about as official as you can get)

Uhh... no.
And here's why.

Week 1000-and-something: So here's the thing...

Hello everybody. I realise it's been a while since I've ventured close enough to Blogger to type something meaningful, and so with the world not ending tomorrow, I figured now would be the perfect time to step back in the spotlight.
Now that I think about it, it hasn't been a spotlight but more like one of those flickering bulbs that you want to replace, but haven't yet because it needs to be ordered in specially from Sweden or some place. Now back to the show!

Presenting...

The 4th-or-somethingth revival of this blog...

a.k.a. My attempt at getting famous on the internet

Ta dah!

Ok, ok, I know it's just the old logo with a half-rushed MSPaint job... but it sucks not being able to use my laptop, and we'll get to that soon... but that's the logo I'm going with for the time being, and when I get the chance I'll come up with something better. Good? Good.
