Jalopy juice
Last weekend I had Rod’s Porsche 993. Holy shit!
I felt like a cock in the city streets. The pedestrians mocked me. When a young hippy and I crossed paths he called me a wanker, and a wanking motion ensued as he walked across the street.
I thought that was a bit redundant, hippy!
I shrugged my shoulders. After all I was driving a car that demands confidence, a sort of affluent indifference that can only be bought.
I loved it. Now I think I will move to somewhere desolate where dead animal skulls line the highway. I need a fast car.
In an unrelated manner Xero is hiring and we’re looking for an HTML and CSS uber-guru. Here’s the pitch. Go on, apply! 
A nameless woman bites her Burger King Whopper in the Auckland airport. As the meat glistens off her teeth, she says, “American people… they’re just so easily brainwashed, it’s just disgusting.”
Swallow your filthy burger, woman!
FullCodePress-ure
Today’s I leave for Sydney to compete against Australia in FullCodePress. FCP is a competition to “build a fully-operational website for a non-profit organisation in 24 hours.”

Can I see the event online?

Who is running the event:
24 hours without sleep! I’m going to feel like a student. Wish us luck…
I’m going to Australia in August to compete against the Aussies for FullCodePress 2007!
Each team (New Zealand and Australia) will build a website in one day for a non-profit organization.
“At the end of 24 hours, a team of judges will review both sites and select the winner. International pride, bragging rights and a trophy will follow for the winning team.”
Wish us luck!
Abraham Lincoln, on President Polk and the war he waged against Mexico:
“Trusting to escape scrutiny, by fixing the public gaze upon the exceeding brightness of military glory – that attractive rainbow, that rises in showers of blood – that serpent’s eye, that charms to destroy – he plunged into war.”
George Washington, on the war with England and his responsibilities as General:
“I shall constantly bear in mind that as the sword was the last resort for the preservation of our liberties, so it ought to be the first to be laid aside when those liberties are firmly established.”
I wish more presidents were writers.
You’ve seen the front of my house, but now, fellow Americans, behold! Click here to see my house from God’s perspective!
My updates move at turtle-like speeds. I’ve been busy.
Instead of telling you about how busy I am, I’m going to stuff my face with food.
Happy 50th birthday, Helvetica (the font)!
How I despise you. You remind me of a slutty Aunt that dresses like a slutty teenager.
You’re so vain
From my notes in November of 2003: “You paint with your left hand,” she said. “I thought you were right handed?”
“I am,” I said. “I just paint with my left hand.”
“How interesting. Which hand do you use to shoot a gun?”
This week I made a reservation for a bowling lane. “Hi, I’d like to make a reservation,” I said.
“Sure, how many lanes and how many people?”
Such a sad year. First Molly Ivins, now Kurt Vonnegut. I’m gutted. I didn’t even know he was alive! I feel guilty.
