Michael Jackson has left the building.

So, after a career spanning 45 years, the King of Pop music, Michael Jackson has finally left the building.

I have never owned any of his music but I have to admit, when it comes on the radio or TV, I usually turn the volume up.

Michael Jackson had a good lot of hassle from the media in recent years and probably with good reason but one thing that stuck in my mind about him was that he always seemed like a child.

What I mean by this is that when he sang, his voice had a certain air of innocence about it. Many other artists have had issues with drugs, booze, prostitution and often crime, whereas from what I know, Michael Jackson never had any problems like this.

RIP Michael Jackson.

"should a smack as part of good parental correction be a criminal offence in New Zealand?"

"should a smack as part of good parental correction be a criminal offence in New Zealand?"

First of all what the hell is a smack? can someone define it for me?
  • I smacked my kid
  • I smacked that bloke who was looking at my wife
  • I smacked me neighbour in the jaw for parking his car in my driveway
???

Also can someone explain something else?

Why the hell does the question say "...in New Zealand?"

I know I live in New Zealand. It is a New Zealand referendum. It does not apply to Fiji, Cuba or South Africa. Why the hell do Kiwis have to drop 'New Zealand' into everything?

Maybe I am being an arse but sorry, no one else in the world is going to see the TV ads or vote on it except NZ'ers.

The question is also loaded. I would feel stupid if I voted 'yes' on it, but I am not voting at all, because I feel that those who wrote the question are putting words into my mouth.

As far as I know, it is NOT a criminal offence to 'correct' your child physically if needed to stop them from harming themselves or others.

So not only do we have an ambiguous referendum question, we have one steeped in a South Pacific identity crisis.

[ AUDIO ] Did David Bain "Shoot the Prick"?

A previously unheard portion of audio allegedly spoken by David Bain has been released and now there is widespread speculation about what is says.

"I shot the prick" is what the New Zealand Herald is reporting as what David Bain apparently said.

I assume the public will get to hear the audio very soon at which time we will surely digest, analyse and then re-analyse what it sounds like.

Having experience with audio and video editing in my line of work let me tell you this, in no other area is the power of suggestion more prevalent than when you are listening to an ambiguous recording of a voice, trying to interpret what that voice is saying and you have already read what it 'might' say.

The suggestion has now been planted that Bain said 'I shot the prick'

Think about this, song lyrics are often mis-interpreted and they are professionally recorded, lets hope the New Zealand public do not freak out over this and proclaim in one voice "guilty!"

Below is the Audio Clip.

What Should I Blog About?

I have been blogging for almost 10 months now and I love it, in total I have 3 blogs which I give serious attention to, my Widescreen Wallpaper blog, Science Fiction blog and this blog.

After reading more and more about blogging (most recently on John Chow's website) and how to get the most from it, including readers and adsense earnings I have realised one simple truth. You really need to blog about one subject area or 'niche' which you are passionate about.

Now this is where my problem comes in, my other 2 blogs fit this criteria perfectly but this one (muzzerino) seem to be a bit of an anomaly.

I have blogged about the Beijing Olympics, Tattoo's, NZ Politics, IT reviews, why The Moon is Upside down in New Zealand and once I even blogged about Broccoli !

So where to from here? should I simply retire this blog and start over? or should I simply weed out the posts which are odd and try and confine this blog to a niche?.

One of the things I do love about blogs is that you can simply write down whatever you are thinking at the time, be it political, whimsical or stupid.

In any event, I will keep this blog going and use it maybe as a dumping ground for whatever pops into my head, in the meantime I will see what else I am 'passionate' about and make a new blog on it...

Watch this space

You live in New Zealand during Winter when...

You live in New Zealand during winter when...
  1. You are sitting in the work staffroom first thing in the morning and laughing at the local expat Scotsman because he must be 'used' to the cold while you sit there and drink your tea with your gloves and big coat on...
  2. You go out for a nice relaxing meal and leave your jacket on the whole time...
  3. You buy a $1 Million dollar NZ house and then run out to buy a bunch of crappy little fan heaters from the warehouse to try and keep it warm...
  4. You move into your picture-postcard perfect NZ house only to discover that you have bought a 'leaky home' and the walls turn into soggy biscuits.
  5. You turn up to school and attend class with your scarf and gloves on but everyone considers it 'normal'...
  6. You buy a dehumidifier to combat the moisture from your portable gas heater and then have to open the windows so you do not die from too much carbon-dioxide...
  7. You get out of the shower in the morning, open the bathroom door then 'run the gauntlet' back to your bedroom where your little 1000w fan heater is waiting to greet you.
  8. Your cat refuses to eat its food because it is so cold it cannot smell it.
  9. You see a picture from a wintry Canada and although it looks nice, you say "I wouldn't want to live there!, it looks too cold!...
  10. You laugh at people from 'cold' countries such as Canada, Scotland and Norway whilst not realising they are warm, healthy and dry. (unlike you)
  11. Lol!

Seriously Though, check these stats!
    1. 45% of existing homes are mouldy
    2. 16% of homes have no insulation at all
    3. 21% of people aged 18–24 say their home is cold and uncomfortable
    4. 84% of households say they don’t have the financial means to make energy-saving renovations
    5. Typically more than one third of the energy used in the home is for keeping warm
    6. Nearly two thirds of homes in New Zealand were built before insulation became a legal requirement in 1979—just over one million properties
    7. More than a quarter of the nation’s homes could be making their occupants ill
    8. More than 75% of people who rented or bought a home in the past two years did not check insulation, hot water cylinders, heaters and other water and energy efficiency appliances
