So just a few random things to post about. Firstly, I forgot to put up a couple of pics from the recent trip – one was a picture showing the amount of available land before and after the Napier earthquake.
As you can see, after the quake there was a lot more land, which is one of the reasons Napier became so successful as a town (compared to Hastings which is 15km away and just didn’t get back on its feet quite as well)
The other pic is off the precurser to the stress-ball – the dammit doll
Other things – my flatmate Till has a blog here. Beware, it’s all in German. Of interest to climbers (and it really should be ;) Is a video he made of bouldering at castle hill.. it’s 3 mins long or something, and is quite high quality (so about 25 meg download). It’s available for download here. Leave a post on his website I guess if you like it…
Also.. quite silly, but funny.. here’s a link to a sorta skit on Rocky.. it’s a 7 meg flash video I think.. and you can see it here
Finally.. Glynn got tickets to the Banff Film Festival, so going to see that in a couple of weeks. Also, there’s a bunch of us (geekily) going to see the final episode of Star Wars when it comes out. At 00:01 on the 17th I think it is. Supposedly it’s a simultanious release worldwide… and so seeing as NZ is +13GMT I guess we see it first. But then I dunno really. Either way quite looking forward to that!
