I repaired one of my bike’s inner tubes last Sunday, which isn’t a tricky thing really, but wasn’t made especially easy by the vague (and dangerously ambiguous) instructions that came with the $2 puncture repair kit. I was a little sceptical that the repair would hold, but thus far it seems to be doing just… Read more
I’ve rejigged my little movies collection here and added a bunch from New Zealand. I’ve mocked up a crappy browser for them, which I apologise profusely for. You can endure its painful blandness here. The quality of many of them isn’t super, as I wanted to keep them small to the impatient sods out there,… Read more

Mike talked to some people in the local paintball (sporting?)… Read more
