How addicted are you? Here’s a couple of fun quizzes designed to reveal what we already know to be the case about our blogging and coffee drinking habits. I’m not convinced about the usefulness of the questions however. There’s little reflection on the impact of blogging and coffee drinking on the body, relationships and work.

Snoskred has just posted on how he earned 5 million dollars online, in cheques sent by scammers from Nigeria. This blogger is a scam baiter, a person who pretends to be a victim for online ruses, stringing along the perpetrators, chewing up their time by getting them to carry out outlandish tasks. She has some very useful tips on the danger of receiving cheques (checks) from unknown senders, warning that although banks may believe the money has been cleared, the transaction may be reversed when the true nature of the fraud has been revealed. She has an impressive collection of fake cheques, bank drafts, money orders, and travellers checks.
New Zealand’s All Blacks were in their element tonight in their game against the Wallabies at Eden Park. Performing the haka in the rain set the scene for 80 minutes of highly competitive rugby, demanding every skill possessed by the New Zealand and Australian teams. The game was decided largely through successful kicks by Daniel Carter.
Despite having signed up as an Australian citizen, I wore all black to the gym this morning as a sign of support for the All Blacks. The gesture was mostly wasted as rugby is only one of several football codes here in Australia. AFL and NRL followers find it confusing to watch rugby. The ruck, a key part of forward tactics, appears to many observers to be a meaningless excuse for a maul. Today’s play showed the ruck as it should be played, providing capacity for up to nine phases of play for the Wallabies at one point. AFL supporters, of course, struggle with the off side principle that leads to so many points in rugby being won through penalties. I remember struggling with the off side principle as a player - the play moves so fast that you can end up in the wrong place very quickly.
The final score of 26-12 leaves the All Blacks with the Bledisloe Cup and Tri-Nations Cup. Roll on now to the World Cup.
