I love the fact that the Secretary of the New South Wales Council for Civil Liberties is named Stephen Blanks.
It just goes to show that Max Headroom really was a documentary showing the world twenty minutes into the fu-fu-future.

Best mailbox ever
This is way cool. Apparently it's over in Fowler Street. Steve pointed out that it's probably cheaper to buy a VCR than a mailbox.

Bing Lee pricing is very strange
So I want to buy a heater and search for its model number to find who sells it. Last week Bing Lee were showing it for $850 before it mysteriously changed to $1,095 early this week. I just called the store to find out the real price and it's $845. WTF?
Why would they put a price that seems designed to turn you off buying it on the site? If I hadn't seen the cheaper price a week ago, I would have looked elsewhere to buy it.
A friend of mine bought a Rinnai heater and part of the reason she bought that one was the fixed price, Apple style, with no discounting. At least then you know what you should pay.

I have pubic lice in my mailbox
While it would be a nice euphemism, Bug Girl attempted to order pubic lice over the Internet. Unsuccessfully, I might add.
From the comments:
However heinous it is to make a living selling pubic vermin over the internet, it is somehow even more despicable to take people's money and then NOT send them pubic lice.

Not cold yet
Seen on Bridge Road just now on my way to work: a couple rugged up for the most arctic of winter days. Wooly hats, gloves, scarves, thick coats. It's 17 degrees out there.
Hilarious!
