Welcome to Phoenix’s world-changing Salon
A portmanteau. A treasure trove. A time capsule. A poetry book. A diary. A photo album. Memories. Dreams. Wishes. Hopes. An open letter to an unsuspecting public. An intimate confession to close friends. A declaration of intent. A whisper of love. A personal record. An experiment in introspection. A performance space. A political rant. A wild yawp. Why do any of us publish our words and images online? Come, dream with me.RU486
Everyone else has already said it, I guess, but I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t comment. I’m very glad this bill has passed, even if it ‘wasn’t about abortion’ but rather about getting access to a method that will make abortion easier for women in tricky situations. Part…
The revolution will be downloaded
Today, my friend hyperpeople tried a little experiment. Outraged by the revelations on SBS last night about yet more Abu Ghraib abuse, he recorded the television, compressed what he’d seen, uploaded it to a server, created a bittorrent and sent out this:SBS DATELINE…

Mmm, music
Last night was superb… The support was Mihi Rangi, ex-Akasa. She looked familiar when she got on-stage and her voice and percussion were amazing but it wasn’t until she did “World Citizen” and said she was ex-Akasa that I realised who she was. She was doing it all…

Busted
