The Real Cost

The Independent in the UK has a really good article about the real cost of air travel. It’s a good article and has real implications for life here. Air travel is becoming ridiculously cheap, more often than not cheaper than train, bus etc.

Like art?

And live in Auckland?

Put the Great Art Auction in your diary. It’s a repeat of an event held in Christchurch and has a fantastic artist lineup. If I was in Auckland I’d be going. The site is being updated with more artists and the actual work will be up there soon apparently.

Good way to support the Green 2005 election campaign too :o)

It’s back

policy.net.nz is live again for the election. Good for those of us that like to vote on things slightly more useful than what they look like or how nice their mother is…

Greens win!

The Norfolk City Council just had a bi-election and the Greens took it out in a surprise win. Congratulations Christopher!

Your Packaging Sucks

Just cause…

Televangelist
You are 14% Rational, 85% Extroverted, 14% Brutal, and 71% Arrogant.
As the Lord as my witness, I swear upon the good book that you are indeed the TELEVANGELIST! Characterized by extreme arrogance, self-assurance, and extroversion, you would make a very charismatic leader (or a very despotic one). On top of that, you are also more intuitive than rational, predisposing you to a more spiritual or emotional outlook on life. Thus, you are thoroughly irrational. You also tend to be rather gentle and considerate of others’ feelings. Clearly, you would make the perfect televangelist. Emotional, extroverted, arrogant, and gentle, you annoy the hell out of people who have to listen to the feel-good, intuitive shit spewing from your mouth. Not only that, but people may look down on you as a self-centered asshat. So while you are gentle and genuinely care about others, it is quite clear that you still care about yourself MORE. Why is your personality flawed? Because you are too damned extroverted, emotional, and arrogant. So preach your irrational message, brotha-man! I assure you, no one will be listening!

To put it less negatively:

1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational.

2. You are more EXTROVERTED than introverted.

3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.

4. You are more ARROGANT than humble.

Compatibility:

Your exact opposite is the Spiteful Loner.

Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hippie, the Starving Artist, and the Robot.
