New ads With the next Miss New Zealand pageant around the corner, it was time to update the ads. The old ones with Katie Taylor still worked conceptually, although the new Priyani Puketapu ones had to be created from scratch with (nearly) the same typefaces.

Standard features While I realize India is well advanced in terms of the car market—they own Land Rover and Jaguar, after all, and there are many Indian cars in New Zealand—it beggars belief that indigenous automaker Hindustan can claim a rear-view mirror and clear glass (as opposed to that opaque kind) as special standard equipment on its venerable Ambassador model.

Feeding the five thousand I know there are Tumblr posts here with notes in the tens of thousands, but the only one I did that hit a reposting or “liking” prime-time was a Doctor Who–How I Met Your Mother spoof graphic I made 10 months ago. I’m very happy to see it pass 5,000 last week, and all the fun comments that people left. Thank you, Tumblrers!
