  1. Ball's Pyramid

    This photo is from my #worldcruise collection. It's not a recent photo.

    I took this photo because from far away I saw a very high mountain (even though the ship was many miles away).

    But only after a little while I discovered that it was Ball's Pyramid the highest volcanic sea stack in the world , in the #Tasman Sea (Pacific Ocean) . Better late than never 😅

    Catch of the Day: The Forbidden Apple! 🍏🪟

    Hey Retro Fans!
    Hold on to your CRT monitors, because our FrogFind radar has caught something today that feels like a relic from a parallel universe. Among all the Nintendos and Linux machines, this legendary identifier appeared:

    Internet Explorer 5.17 on Mac (PowerPC)!

    For everyone rubbing their eyes right now: Yes, Internet Explorer existed for the Mac, and it was a big deal! Following the historic "peace treaty" between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in 1997, Internet Explorer became the official default browser on all Apple computers for five years.

    The craziest part? Mac IE was technically vastly superior to its Windows counterpart at the time! Microsoft built a completely bespoke rendering engine for Apple called Tasman, which was one of the very first to properly support CSS. Version 5.1.7 (released in the summer of 2003) was the absolute final update ever pushed for classic Mac OS 8 and 9 before Apple entirely shifted focus to their own browser, Safari.

    The fact that today, over 20 years later, someone boots up an old PowerPC Mac (perhaps a colorful iMac G3?) and browses FrogFind with the Mac-exclusive Internet Explorer is a glorious time machine to an era when Microsoft and Apple surfed hand in hand.

    Cheers to the Tasman engine!

  11. @The_Sun @jdmcg this is one of those feeling a bit envious of the folks across the #Tasman moments. I wish there were more #PV #Solar in #NZ. We have #SolarHotwater, so that’s a start.

  17. Thins are looking rough in most of the Nelson / Tasman area at the top of NZ's South Island.

    There are evacuations in Lower Moutere, Takaka is likely to flood, Kaiteriteri and Riwaka residents are under a conserve water notice and there are multiple power outages.

    This story has more detail.

    Note: It's easier to read the RNZ story on the ODT because they don't use the annoying live feed format.

  27. Honestly, I think the #Kia #Tasman looks better than most “American” utes / trucks. It looks like something #Citroen would have made recently. Would really like to see a shorter wheelbase 2 door, 2 seat full body version, like a new take on the SWB BJ74 Landcruiser.

    The world needs more quirkyness and less homogeny. #Car #Design
