Chris Noble’s notepad on the interwebthingy
Found during a cleanout at home…
According to TiZWine.com “A conglomeration of rockmelons and vanilla essence, caramel and concentrated malts. Ready for a scrumptious desert.”
Yeah, well. I don’t recall all that in the bottle, but it was a nice drop of desert wine.
Made by Crab Farm Winery in Hawkes Bay who also have a good restaurant if you’re in the area, thirsty and hungry.
I hope the label is not misleading and that is how they actually make it… 
7/7/7 – lucky for some?
If you’re the superstitious type, into numerology or appreciate the beauty of numbers in mathematics from time to time, then today is your lucky day (or maybe not!)
The religious among you will also note that today, being a Saturday, is the biblical Sabbath or seventh day of the week.
In NZ, you’ve already missed the above time, but 0707 UTC will pass this evening…
So, whether you make this a day of rest, play the slot machines for the elusive 777, or fly on a Boeing-777, enjoy it. This date only comes once.
From the “I Want One” list…
Complete with Snowspeeder mobile! Only for the true Star Wars geek (and geek-to-be!)
Spotted at Star Wars Celebration IV in Los Angeles, via Gizmodo – and a bunch of other sites… including this Flickr page where you’ll see a better close-up of the stroller+mobile.
How cool would this be…
The boy could have fun while cleaning our house! 
If only it were real and not a design concept by Kristina Andersson…
Straight out of the 80’s, the classic softdrink Mello Yello is back on NZ shelves as a limited edition release. We had one today for old times sake, and if memory serves correct it tastes the same as it used to. It definitely appears that RETRO is the new cool, even in the tech world, from brown mp3 players to the resurgence of classic games…
Lou threatened to steal all my change unless I got my A into G to get my jars of old coins to the bank… which I did today – cashed in for $86.55!
Actually, since the 5c is going, the total was rounded up to $86.60. Should’ve taken the 5’s in one at a time…
i digg…
