Ok so we have alot of volcanoes in New Zealand. One new website startup www.mintshot.co.nz decided to simulate an eruption using smoke flares.
Click image to see the video
"The publicity stunt was lead by mintshot director Marc Ellis, who along with fellow directors Ben Hickey and Nick Dalton ascended Rangitoto in the early hours of the morning and using smoke flares simulated an eruption of the extinct volcano."
"The stunt has been a covert operation for all involved. A behind the scenes account of this guerilla marketing stunt will be revealed on 20/20 (TV2) at 9.30pm tonight (Thursday 15th November)."
Aparently they wanted 100,000 signups in the first 48 hrs. This is in a country of 3.5 million. I wonder how they did.
Cant believe I totally missed this one.
Alex Hofsteede from over at Better than Flex created a video player for youtube videos. Whoopie you say? well this one has a twist. The video is parsed real time and converted into ascii art. Am I a geek for thinking this is very cool?

I unfortunately wont be heading down, but a lot of the Flex User group people will be, and Adobe has been kind enough to sponsor an event for our NZ user groups, User Groups On the Piste.
Head on over to David Harris's blog for more details all laid out with pretty css. Thanks to David and Kai for putting in the hard yards and getting this organised. I'm more than sure it will be a great time and cool to catch up with a lot of the ground breaking stuff us Kiwi's are doing over here.
If you want to catch up at the Usergroup meetup, even if you aren't apart of a group your welcome, but please RSVP as spaces are filling and you don't want to miss out.
