A hoodie that makes you look like the thug of the lamest of supervillains, CutPriceman? Um... maybe not such a good idea.
Something that is a good idea (where "good idea" equals "opportunity to have time sucked away from you like a maddened vaccum-cleaner") is Little Fluffy Industries, which many of you may have seen. They review games available on the net like Grow Cube and Vexed, and it's really not a good idea to look at these at work. :)
Not from a "eww" perspective, but from a "are we paying you to do that?" one. :)

I seem to be reverting. On Saturday I managed to lock myself out of my house -- and it turns out that leaving a spare key with your parents isn't much help if none of you know which of the hundred-odd keys it is. (This has been fixed with a quick bit of Dremmel-work on the part of Dad. I suggested engraving "jazzmaster_sv", in honour of my Singstar homies, but Dad just got his quizzical-eyebrow look, so we went for something shorter. :)
And I managed to leave the van's lights on this morning, so the battery is as dead as a dead thing -- something it's very hard to do with my usual car. At least I haven't managed to lock the keys inside the van yet. I choose to see this not as "Svend is a dumbass," but rather, "Svend has produced a useful learning opportunity for his younger brother, who is learning to drive." And I bet he hasn't even bought me a present to say thank you...
Oh, and I got horribly lost in Upper Hutt while trying to find Pinehaven; being lost in the Hutt Valley is another thing that I haven't done in a while. And luckily, that brings the ways I've reverted up to three, so there's no need for me to do any more. You here that, Universe? ;)

I'm editing this blog on my laptop while sitting in my lounge. Technology is an awesome, awesome thing. I love wireless.
