So ALIENWARE has a price match policy - find it cheaper online, they'll match it. I'm looking at (pricey) monitors. My pick is NZ$2649 on the NZ site - but only US$1299 (~NZ$1927) on the US site. So I asked if they'd price match ...themselves. They wouldn't. I'm disgruntled.

This New York Times Opinion piece by Michal Leibowitz resonated with me - and it probably will with you too. ‘I Didn’t Feel Like Going, but I’m Glad I Did’ - nytimes.com/2022/04/05/opi…

Pro Cyclone Fili tip: If you haven't secured your trampoline to the ground or something solid with stakes/ropes - do it today. They can fly.

Immensely sad to hear about Joseph Day this morning. My thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to his fiancée, his family, and all of those in New Zealand media who worked with him. 💔

As a potential first-home buyer, I am once again asking agents to *include photos of the inside of garages and/or workshops in listings*. As a garage-hound DIY tinkerer - it's a selling point for me, but almost always gets left out.

Four days later, my Covid fever has finally broken - at times it got close to 40c. Truly the worst I’ve ever felt, and I’m double vaxxed and boosted. Take it seriously - you don’t want this.

Morning fog in Auckland looks like it’s starting to burn off in the CBD - although still so thick in places you can’t see the harbour bridge from ANZ HQ.

Surely I'm not the only one seeing a few new names on the Laneway Festival NZ list. If you are too, I made a Spotify list with some popular songs from each of the confirmed artists: open.spotify.com/playlist/1Kz19…

Hey New Zealand Police - silly question maybe, but does the Eagle helicopter have lights and sirens? Could have sworn I just heard it “weeooeeooeeoo” as it flew over our place. Thank you.

MAJOR OUTAGE: A faulty Crowdstrike update seems to have taken down hundreds of services that rely on it. Downdetector shows many services crashing hard. techissuestoday.com/windows-bsod-c… #BSDO #Windows #Crowdstrike

Hi. Just doing my yearly check in. Hope you're all doing good. There sure are a lot of ads now - the vibe isn't great. It doesn't feel like the universal forum I spent more than a decade visiting almost every day. Anyway, I'll be going. Take care.
