God I hate those sites. I wish nobody used Flash for their sites... guess if it's so ubiquitous I'd better get with program(me)!
At the moment I don't have any flash plugin for Firefox, my main browsing browser, which without having to load all the flash crap one gets these days is lightning quick. When I want to watch an actual video or press play on something I switch to Slimbrowser (which is essentially a skin of Internet Explorer). I don't know for how long it will be feasible to keep going this way - I suspect soon enough the lack of Flash will cripple my experience of most sites - but for the moment I'm sitting very pretty.

My mad idea for the day: date and geotag all the clips on NZ On Screen, then mash it up with Google Maps. Given sufficient material, you can then see what any part of the country looked like at any point in time.
Your mad and brilliant idea for the day.

What seems to be the problem, Rik?
You're not the same, man. You've changed.

At the very least you get a Sub-Prime Minister.
Best piece of political ad appropriation since the Mr Burns/I've been thinking caper in Wellington some ten years ago.

Simon Pegg as Scotty! Worth seeing just for that.
Nah. They always try to get you with the alluring casting, like Carell as the titular hero in the awful, awful Get Smart. Wake me up when they cast Pegg as Hamlet. Or Lady Macbeth.

Then again, I'm one of those cranks who thinks there are some prices for power that are just too high to pay.

The lovely think about the conventional wisdom of pundits is how often it turns out not to be conventional, or particularly wise.
It's because you don't listen to the right pundits.

Though Maggie Smith's Desdemona...
Argh! I never made the connection that it was that Maggie Smith.

I have actually seen a silent version in which Hamlet was a woman (possibly swedish, I can't find a link)
Sarah Bernhardt, possibly?
