Joost - Now For Friends

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

Just got an email from Joost saying that I can invite as many friends as I want now:

Hello Andrew, We hope you’re enjoying your Joost experience. We’d like to share some good news and celebrate the launch of the new Joost beta - Now For Friends. This means you can now invite as many friends as you want to try out Joost.

Yell out if you want an invite. They have some pretty cool content on there now including “new channels from Universal Music, great science fiction like Earth Final Conflict, and Creature Comforts from Aardman Animations.”

NZ Coffee and Allpress

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

I was disappointed on my recent trip back to Auckland to find that my favourite cafes had gone downhill. So I was pleasantly surprised with the superb double shot espresso I had at the Allpress Coffee cafe on Drake Street (above Victoria Park Market). Whilst I was there, I picked up some some of their Rangitoto blend for Cam at Flat White (He was particularly pleased to see it and according to staff had a smile stuck on his face for the rest of the day).

I also had an excellent coffee at Morris & James up at Matakana (after sending the first one back because it was a long black). Believe it or not, they were using Allpress Coffee :)
