Tis a glorious day in the Peoples’ Republic of New Zealand when our most trustworthy and benevolent National Government nationalise—by semi-violent means—and return to the workers of Aotearoa vast tracts of arable land, productive dairy cows from which a new generation of proletarian babies will suckle and grow strong and massive piles of toxic debt are wiped from the ledger books of running-dog capitalist pigs and tools of the military industrial complex thus freeing the worker from the chains of economic serfdom.
I for one welcome our new socialist overlords.

UPDATE: I’m putting this first so that it will be seen – Lance from Groupy has straight out said it’s unacceptable from them. So take the following as actions of an errant employee founding partner and not as a reflection on the rest of groupy.co.nz. Original post follows.
Apologies about the length of this. It’s going to include a bunch of quoted emails. I’ll quote them in full so that I don’t get accused of leaving stuff out afterwards. The short story is I won’t be shopping with
groupy.co.nz – which is a shame, because Lance Wiggs runs some excellent businesses, the concept was good, and I had a lot of hope for it.

As written in The Guardian, via tech-blog Gizmodo, this is how you change the world. A spectacular initiative where women on bicycles carrying netbooks and wireless connections visit obscure villages to provide a fleeting flirtation with technology. These women quite literally peddle a view over the information of the outside world, educational possibilities impossible without their presence.
Beautiful. Read it here. Now.

The Herald’s Sideswipe column has the results of a study of UK residents to find what they considered the best invention. It’s bemusing, to say the least.
