Google Earth

Downloaded this program called Google Earth, very impressive. The idea is simple. It's a globe that sits inside your PC. You point and zoom to anyplace on the planet that you want to explore. Satellite images and local facts zoom into view. Tap into Google search to show local points of interest and facts. Zoom to a specific address to check out an apartment or hotel. View driving directions and even fly along your route.

If you have been down the mall and noticed across from McDonald's, that there is a Wainuiomata Business School and if you have been thinking about doing a computer course, to upskill your career prospectives, you should go and have a chat with them.

Wainuiomata Business School, have three staff members, who are first aiders, best of all, they also live right here in Wainuiomata.

On the 15th of February 2005, Wainuiomata Business School was audited by NZQA. The ratings are Bronze, Silver and Gold - Quality Education as a whole company, all 17 branches nationwide received a Gold.

See Quality Education has been running for approximately 12 years and teaches courses from Level 2 - 3 in Applications and they have an awesome Doc5 technical course. All courses are NZQA approved. They don't just have national qualifications, they also have international qualifications - Mos, A+ and Net+ - with more to come!

So why go over the hill to study? when you can study right here at home!

How would I know if they are any good at their job? because I'm a graduate through them.

Respect 2005 Hiphop Festival

We were apart of the 3000 people that turned up to witness, D-lo squad who perform at the 2005 Repect hiphop festival and what a day it was, the weather was spot on and for myself, being my first time to see D-lo squad in action.

I must say it's awesome to see, people you have grown up with, entertain a crowd as such. I caught up with one of the members, and asked what they thought about having their own website. They are very interested, so in saying that, we have setup hiphop.ynui.co.nz. Its still to be designed, we will work as fast as we can, to get this site on its way.

While we were there, we managed to take a couple of photos, before we realised that the batteries for the camera were on its way out.
