They've worked out how to hide time.
Just a little bit of time for now but think of the possibilities.....

"A team at Cornell University, with support from Darpa, the Pentagon’s out-there research arm, managed to hide an event for 40 picoseconds"

"There’s plenty of reason to be concerned Big Brother is watching.
We’re paranoid not because we have grandiose notions of our self-importance, but because the facts speak for themselves.
Here’s our short list of nine reasons that Wired readers ought to wear tinfoil hats, or at least, fight for their rights and consider ways to protect themselves with encryption and defensive digital technologies."

anybody who was alive when the first star wars movies came out knows they ruled - and that the 'prequels' really sucked. but until now, I, for one, have not been able to put my finger on just why they were so bad. there are several, very good reasons as it turns out... aside from just that stupid talking rabbit-thing.

i got a asked why there aren't dates on this stuff. it's cos i don't blog, it's just a website, and sometimes it's days or months before anything new goes up. i'm on a roll at the moment though...

some other photos from portugal - should be a bit smaller really cos the thumbnails disappear and the bottom gets cut off but just use the nav on the bottom right til i sort it out.

Porto, Portugal, at night. Just a little drunk at this point.

Porto at night

nearly midnight, I'd been travelling for the previous 50 hours from Auckland, 3 planes, 3 cities, and just had to make Becs pose in the train station at Porto.

Jimmy never met a bike that he didn't want to ride.

i googled 'the grind' and came in 7th! pretty happy about that. it's a meaningless accomplishment, but still strangely gratifying.

i read a couple of books lately that i can highly recommend... 'predictably irrational' by dan ariely and that old chestnut 'freakonomics' (you've probably already read that one.)

Bob is kinda like Obama... Can we build it? 'Yes we can!'

Megan Fox seems quite cool really: "She is fantastically condemnatory of Sex And The City. "So tragic." Costume dramas? "They bore me. I think they're absurd." Hollywood comedies? "Total garbage, not funny at all." Industry parties? "Fake bullshit." Fame? "It doesn't mean anything. Anyone can be famous." Life in America? "A dumbed-down version of existence." TV news? "Mindless bullshit." Transformers director Michael Bay? "Such a dick." America's war on drugs? "It's all propaganda. I can't tell you how much bullshit I've been through because I will openly say that I smoke weed... People look at it like it's this crazy, hippy, fucked-up thing to do. And it's not! I hope they legalise it and when they do I'll be the first fucking person in line to buy my pack of joints."

there's kinda too many pictures in a row here, it hurts my eyes a bit so i'm breaking it up with a bit of text. i'll replace this dribble with something decent as soon as i think of something decent. hold your breath. (still holding?)

Rainbow over the Wakatipu

The auction went really well, thanks to everyone who got involved and scored themselves a great piece of art for cheap! thanks go out to all of the artists involved - much love and respect.

If you have any questions about sold or unsold boards contact Craig.
You can find him, from here on in, as the new owner/operator of Quest in Dunedin.
If you're in that town, why not go buy something off him?

There's boards are from assorted skate legends like the one and only Mr Dan Buckley and Peggy Oki ( Dogtown and Z-boys fame) aswell as artist from Queenstown, Wanaka, Christchurch and Auck's.

Quote of the week: "I do not really agree with violence, but at the same time, it is impossible for me to understand the difference between terrorism and resistance. The only thing I know is that every time a group of people are taking over, there are always some people who think, and others who throw stones." - The Wa - Chief Magazine
