		<description><![CDATA[I've been wanting to upgrade this free version of Wordpress to a proper website for a while now. If only for the improved design and plugin abilities.

So I've moved and re-branded. Red Armband is now NZ:RAW (Like NZ Pure but with more grit). You can see all Red Armband's old posts on this site, as well as all my new stuff.

Check out www.nzraw.co.nz for New Zealand news articles, gaming reviews, life style stuff and more.

The new site is generally looking a lot sleeker and has much more functionality an' all that. It's bling. That's what I'm trying to say. Bling.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=redarmband.com&blog=7823723&post=673&subd=lincolnnz&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I got to the office today and noticed a guy walking around outside in a chicken suit next to a woman handing out flyers to save money on parking in Christchurch.

I thought that this was enough of a story in itself - what has a chicken got to do with parking? Why did the chicken park the car? Which came first, the chicken or the parking metre? It just doesn't work.

So I took a photo at almost full zoom on my Canon Powershot S5 IS and was about to post it on the blog when I realised that the image had enough clarity to zoom in even further. I found that I could actually read the 2cm tall text on the flyer that the promo-girl was holding in her hand.

Pretty remarkable really. And now I know that the "EB" thing is all about "Early Bird" parking specials. Right.

I think they were asked to move on because they were right outside EB Games and the management probably didn't want to be associated with a chicken.

The photos at the top of this article show: Left - the view from my window, Centre - The partly zoomed in photo that I took, Right - zooming in on Photoshop shows you can read the text on the flyer. Impressive. 

Note: OK so I took the photo on the left after they had gone so I had to photoshop in a chicken standing in the mall entrance way to show you how far away they were. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=redarmband.com&blog=7823723&post=665&subd=lincolnnz&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The Hotel So Company Car

Ok not really but while I was taking photos of the Christchurch Sky Lens, my cousin, Doug, called me and said "Meet you outside your office. Grab a camera." Then rocked up in this great motor!

Doug is currently tasked with driving this mean machine around Christchurch while passing out flyers for Hotel So saying "Why taxi when you can stay at Hotel SO".

[Christchurch Hotel So Car Promo] The mini road trip seems to be working well so far. While I stood with him, at least 8 people approached and asked what the story was.

This is reflective of a lot of marketing today. Businesses need to stir up some interest and give people a reason to make contact. We can pick and choose what interests us and block out anything that doesn't.

In this case, instead of walking up to someone and forcing a flyer into their hands, people are actively stopping Doug in the street and even taking flyers directly from his wee glove box.

Have fun, Doug. Don't go using your cellphone while you're driving that thing.

		<description><![CDATA[How's this for a 'rags to riches' story? The UK Herald reports that two homeless brothers have been living in a cave on the outskirts of Budapest, occasionally visited by some charity workers, and have now found out they are to inherit a US$7 billion family fortune.

    “If this all works out it will certainly make up for the life we have had until now — all we really had was each other — no women would look at us living in a cave,”

Apparently a lawyer had contacted the charity and asked them to find these brothers as they were to inherit a lot of money.

Come to think of it, I have about 20 e-mails in my junk folder that mention long lost relatives trying to off-load their fortunes and wealthy South African business men looking for someone to take all their money for no apparent reason. Maybe I should start replying to a few of these.

		<description><![CDATA[Twitter has a function called "hashtags". Basically, if you're talking about an event or a particular product, you mention a word associated with it and put a hash in front. Like #WorldAidsDay. 

This means that anyone can click on that word in your tweet and instantly see what other updates are talking about the same topic. 

Knowing this, I decided to do a search for #FTW. FTW is a slang abbreviation of either of the terms "For The Win" or "F*** The World". The first is used when declaring something you're proud of or excited about. The second is more of a "I've just done something awesome" thing, or a "screw you all!" thing. Note that his is not to be confused with "WTF" which means "What the f***??"

Here's some interesting examples at www.redarmband.com<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=redarmband.com&blog=7823723&post=649&subd=lincolnnz&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

New Zealand is known for a few things and now it has an extra notch to its belt.

This morning, crowds gathered in the rain at Christchurch's Cathedral Square in New Zealand to watch the official weigh-in of what is now the World's Largest Scrambled Egg at 1.2 tonnes. That or they just came for the free breakfast.

		<description><![CDATA[These guys just walked past my office, heading along the freshly laid tram track of Christchurch's Cashell mall.

The rally was organised by New Zealand's Public Sector Union and supported by the Green Party. Sue Kedgley, Green Party MP, said in a speech to the rally:

    The disability support workers, who are on strike today; the hospital orderlies, cleaners and kitchen staff, also on strike today, who earn as little as $14.62 cents an hour; Parliamentary services workers, clerical workers, school support staff, teacher aides and librarians, who are also taking protest action today and marching up Queen street tomorrow. Many support workers are working with the most vulnerable children in our schools, doing God's work, yet they earn as little as $12.94 cents an hour -barely above the minimum wage. It is obscene.

Now I hate politics with a passion but thought that this particular subject was worth mentioning. Sue's after raising the minimum wage from $12.50 an hour to $15 and that sounds fine to me. Good to luck to you all.

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Saurabh,

Thanks so much for your recent comment on my article, "Improving SEO with dodgy words and pictures of hot girls" . I am writing to inform you that for some reason, your comment has been blocked by my spam filter and is sitting in a queue of 147 comments that are very similar to yours.

For that reason, I would love to discuss the content of your comment to ascertain whether you are in fact a spammer or you've actually just been unfairly singled out by my spam filtering system.

Let's start with the name and e-mail address that you supplied when writing the comment. You've said that your name is Sumit although in your e-mail address your name is apparently Saurabh Sumitrai. Did you spell your surname wrong in the "name" field? To check, I Googled your name.

I see that you've set up a profile here. I also note that you've posted the same comment on a variety of other posts. Now this makes me feel:

1. Cheated. Imagine if I told you I loved you then you found out I'd said that to 27 other people.

2. Concerned. Are you trying to find an answer to something? Are we all just mis-understanding your comment? I'm going to try and help you out.

		<description><![CDATA[After playing around with the Hollywood sign for the Wordpress logo competition, I decided to make our own version of the Hollywood sign in Christchurch. Seeing as New Zealand is such a great place for major films these days.

This is basically the view from my window every day (minus a power pole or too). I took this a couple of hours ago at 7pm. The sun is setting behind the Southern Alps of New Zealand and shadows are creeping across the Port Hills.

As the sun goes down they begin to look more and more yellow and can be quite surreal at times. I actually reduced the yellow to make this photo look more realistic than reality!

I had to remove the powerlines from the hills and get rid of the light-post and telegraph lines before I could play around with this. The un-cropped, original colour image is below, followed by the absolute original photo.
