First Day Back
The awesome weather sure made the first day back at uni much more pleasant.
Anyway, I guess I'm the geeky guy who gets to break the ice and make the first post, so here goes...
Since this is a techno-culture paper, I propose a pxt of the week post from whoever can be bothered, perhaps highlighting just how dodgy and voyeuristic we can be with a camera always with us. So here's mine.
Neither dodgy nor voyeuristic, sorry, but taken just after Italy won the world cup last Monday. This is Symonds Street, outside Gina's pizza and pasta place where it seemed every Italian in Auckland was inside watching the game. After Italy's win over France everyone who was inside spewed out onto the street and blocked traffic, waving Italian flags and showering champagne over the road. Quite a sight, and a celebration only Italians are capable of.
Here's an audio grab from the 95bFM breakfast show that morning (live from Gina's) showing just how crazy it was. Apologies for the dodgy quality and my novice broadcasting skills.

Great ice-breaker, Hayden: geek away. Slightly chunky audio file, though. Took a while to load up even on superfast (ahem) Jetstream. And whatever the pundits say, it was a really good World Cup and I need things like this blog to fill the void. Just in case there's any mileage left in the whole Zizou thing, here's a nice little lesson in media reception theory.
