It seems, says the WSJ, that we already seeing companies spring up to help you defend your online reputation. Or maybe that is to remove your online reputation. ReputationDefender was founded by a Harvard Law grad in October, and they will politely (then not so politely) ask websites to take down references to you. Sometimes …

RX7 madness – see what happens when the wheels really do fall off…..
Will Xero support Safari? Safari is my favorite browser, and I only pull out Firefox to blog. Well it turns out Safari 3.0 is better, but still doesn’t work correctly on WordPress. Grrrrrr.
A wannabe social networking site releases some research (from the UK’s yougov, who ran some panels), and before you know it the WSJ, NET, and SMH are commenting on the perils of releasing too much information on the net. Apparently job seekers get Googled, and if you have a criminal record or drank too much …
Watch and Listen [realplayer reqd] The highlight is Clinton’s speech – but the rest is compelling as well.
A selection of the pictures I’ve uploaded to Flickr Day 1 – a perfect run to Arthur’s pass from Blenheim, via Murchison and some dirt Twilight at the rally site in Central Otago- day 3, after a interlude in Auckland for a meeting via ChCh. It was wet…
Spotted on the ferry on the way South – fake Ribena, but including real Vitamin C….
I’m off on the brass monkey for a few days. brrrrrr.
So this week has been interesting….. and a lot different from last week – 6:10am in the car on Monday morning, and no later than 6:45am in the car each day thereafter – 11-12 hour days at the refinery – no access to local email on site (too hard for IT to set up) – …
So I’m enroute to Perth – where I’ll be consulting for the week to BHPB’s Kwinana Nickel Refinery – which is the world’s third largest producer of refined Nickel. I’m looking forward to it – the change of industries is pretty dramatic – Friday night at the black tie Qantas awards, Saturday on Qantas planes, …
DPReview is the site for checking out the latest hotness in digital cameras. I’ve been using the site for years as I tend to lose, drop, vibrate to death or otherwise attempt to destroy the digital cameras I own. Strangely enough they don’t totally die (I look for robustness), but they are broken enough so …
NZ recently started demanding that travellers remove laptops from bags when flying. This has been happening for a while in other countries, so you’d think it was no biggie. (I noticed the change as the first time it happened to me I happened to have two laptops in my carry-on.) Unfortunately the screening system has …
The other day I was surprised that Amazon was going to ship my order of 21 books in 19 different packages. On Friday night I picked up the first round of arrivals from Amazon. Over two days five boxes had arrived, each containing one book. Four of the books were identical (photo), and all of …
On the one hand I am not a big fan of the Netguide awards methodology. On the other hand Stuff managed to glean two awards (Best media site and best homepage), while Trade Me took home three more. Thanks to everyone that voted for us – both Trade Me and Stuff. It was a huge …
