New Laptop Bag

I'm in desperate need of a new lappy bag.
I really like this brand (Ducti) because of the bold letters. There is also a Danger version avail. Alas all only fit 15" laptops and mine is 17"  :-(
Probably also a bit in your face for the corporate environment. Maybe if it said "Don't Panic" :-)

Fueled by Beer, 101 Year Old Man Runs Marathon | blogaboutbeer.com

This guy seems like a legend.
Hope I'm still downing 7-8 pints at 80 odd, let alone making it to 101.
Buster Martin completed the London Marathon this past weekend in just about ten hours. The 101 year old man set a new record for the oldest person to ever complete the marathon. So, what did he do to celebrate? Have a beer, of course. While it would be logical to assume that, since Martin appears in such great health, he must be a health nut but the truth is actually quite the opposite.Buster Martin smokes more than a dozen cigarettes and drinks an average of 7-8 full pints of beer — usually at least one during a break in the middle of his daily run — every day. It truly boggles the mind.

Facebook Security

The masses have spoken.
The identity community has been quite vocal on Facebook and the granularity of security that is configurable (or not in this case), historically on Facebook.
Looks like a step in the right direction. Ironically though half of these settings will probably still be lost on the majority of the FB members.
We've added more privacy options. Now you can use friend lists to control exactly who can see what. We've also added the option to share information with "Friends of Friends".

Nelson makes the top 5

Nelson makes the "Top 5 Beer Towns in NZ"
Good to see Nelson making the top 5. Personally I think it should be number 4 ahead of Hamilton, but I'm still proud :-)
5. Nelson - the hop growing region of New Zealand has a growing number of small breweries, Founders, Lighthouse, Tasman, Bays, Townsend and special mention to The Mussel Inn, not quite Nelson but worth the effort. The greatest thing about the Nelson region are the guys that run Dead Good Beer Events and regularly put on beer festivals.

That is what I need to do to launch my own brewery. Become an actor. Be part of a couple of hit tv sitcoms. Do voice over work for a childrens cartoon, then open a brewery. Got it.

Reality catching up with 80's TV ?

A conceptual E-Paper Slap Bracelet. It's an MP4 player in which the entire surface acts as a thin, high contrast and energy efficient screen. As an added bonus it needs no charging -- it's powered by the kinetic energy produced by moving your arm.

Slick, very slick.

Foamee

A great little site that leverages existing infrastructure (Twitter).
So if you have a Twitter account then send me a beer (or a coffee if it is before lunch time), and of course I'll reciprocate.
