I know this has done the rounds a million times — but it’s well worth watching again… What does it mean?!
I’m thinking about getting the t-shirt.
"They can be a little scary. One of Die Antwoord’s songs, “Fishpaste,” includes the phrase jou ma se poes, slang for “your mother’s vagina,” says Ninja. “It’s a hard dis, a ghetto dis.” According to Vi$$er, “some guy in the Netherlands tattooed it on his arm and sent us a picture. We were like, Jesus Christ!"

"If you’re looking for a cheap evening’s entertainment, get an array of programmers into the same room and utter the words “significant white space.” You can then spend hours warming yourself by the ensuing flame war."

Auckland meetup, bitches!
Back in the early days, we knew all about our online heroes. We knew what and how they built; what drove them to build. We had a good way to keep up with these people. We read their blogs, we commented and we talked about them during heated web standards arguments. Websites like A List Apart, Digital Web and Webmonkey had interviews, articles and bios to provide any other context we didn’t get from the first person perspective.
The reason I’m a web standards geek is because of people like Douglas Bowman, Eric Meyer, Jeffery Zeldman and Jeremy Keith. You’ll notice, though, none of those names are names of my local heroes. My guess is that during those heady blogging days they were all too busy reading that they forgot to do any writing themselves.
I know who my local heroes are. They are very talented people doing awesome things, but we know very little about them and I’ve decided to change that. I’m taking a stand and calling our local heroes to talk about themselves and share what makes them who they are.
New Zealand has a problem with lopping the heads off tall poppies - instead of chopping them down, I’m singling them out to be recognised for their awesomness. To do so, I’ll be hosting a podcast series where I will interview local heroes.
I’ve got some ideas about who I’m going to talk to first, but who are your heroes? Who would you like to learn more about?
