Omg, article was 2 years ago! I never did buy a pair but good to know though I guess. :)

no surprise there is a giant mountain of excavated rock just north of the hole. :). Decent airport for 40,000. Wiki page says all mining stopped in 2011 due to difficulties working in the area?

Winter solstice in the southern hemisphere but the moon still looks pretty awesome here in Wellington tonight.

I didn't say he shouldn't have stopped. Just that the light was not red and he made a stupid assumption followed by a stupid decision (to gun it). Absolutely he should have stopped and been paying attention to the other cars.

Hmm. You can't 7-10 split down the gutter unless the pins have been strategically placed right over the gutter.

Actually it's more the Americans at risk, so many try calling '911' in New Zealand, they now route it to the official emergency number '111'. I doubt they do the same with text messaging though.

In NZ, the motorcyclist could be charged for that (although the intent is more to protect the horse rider):

You forgot a couple of days waiting in line. :P

I do a lot of road cycling so am very interested to see if this can be useful as a HUD and ditch the cycle computer. Strava looks interesting.

20 days of watching someone shop for Apple clothing? Come on, you know you have some....

With some help from some friends and some ketchup, you could stage an elaborate fake murder? :)
