The Haka and Skype ... (September 17,2005)

'The American-born Mahuika, a wide receiver and kick returner for the Cougars, led the haka in the opening game of the season, against Boston College, in front of 60,000 fans. The team were barred from eyeballing the opposing side by officials concerned that the high-adrenalin show could lead to a pre-match punch-up.'

Imagine it ...?

Jessie and I watched the New Zealand election count together last night ... using a website and my computer phone. Oh, for those of you interested in cheap/free overseas phone calls, visit http://www.skype.com

A call on it costs almost 2cents per minute, and it's free if you both have skype downloaded (the download is also free). It's 2 cents for popular locations like NZ, Australia, England, America, Belgium etc ...and places like Turkey, with less computer traffic, are about 8 cents per minute, but still free if you both have the programme.

We use a headset ,and as some of you will know, the system is as good as an international phone call, and can call computer to computer, or computer to phone
