Is technology the salvation rather than the killer of media? asks Finlay Macdonald.

Just got an e-mail from @TelecomNZ about a special mystery bag from 1-Day. I clicked on it within seconds and it had sold out. Damn I'm slow

[Tech Talks @yahooxtratech]

@juhasaarinen Sorry. I humbly withdraw my logical thinking forthwith.

[Tech Talks @yahooxtratech]

@juhasaarinen It's hardly freaky when you see who had the number - a Mafia boss and a crooked cocaine-smuggling businessman!

Oh, and I'm finally over my iPhone crush. I want the new HTC Evo instead. http://bit.ly/bLOsd0 Wonder when it'll get to NZ. 2013?

Dentists have changed since I last went. I got to watch a ripped DVD while they used a frickin' laser beam to cut away my gums.

[Tech Talks @yahooxtratech]

Buzz Out Loud still isn't quite the same without Tom, but it's getting close. Still, at least Molly is there to keep my entertained.

[Tech Talks @yahooxtratech]

My toll calls are with @telecomnz but when I try to make one I get a recorded @orcon message. Tried phoning both but no success.

[Tech Talks @yahooxtratech]

Can't make toll calls now that I've moved house. Both @telecomnz and @orcon say it's not their fault but something funny is happening.

[Tech Talks @yahooxtratech]
