What's the best thing about your mom?
She's still alive.
Maybe an odd thing to say but after contracting Wegeners Granulomatosis over a decade ago thats thanks to her resilience, brilliant medical treatment (from the NZ Public Health System), and the ultimate gift - an [anonymous] donor kidney.
What's the best April Fools' Day prank you've ever had pulled on you?

They did, but it was already April 2 here mmm'kay!
I’ve posted regarding Arthur C. Clarke’s death on my CAD Blog. From childhood much of my interest in science, reading, writing and even religion was formed by reading his work. Working with Stanley Kubrick, he made my favourite movie. Thanks Arthur!

What one object/thing would you take if your house were on fire?
Does this assume the people & pets are already safe? If so, probably my usb backup drive.
There's a good reason, but I can't say, why "Goodbye Vox" won't be the last post here.
I suppose this blog will remain on-line until something removes it but I've decided to not post any more content here and concentrate on my original TypePad hosted blogs. Vox was an interesting experiment but it's time to have one less thing to do. You'll find new content on my CAD & Personal Blogs both accessible from my homepage...
Are you a registered organ donor? Why or why not?
Submitted by jacolily.
Yes, My mum would have died 10 years ago if someone else hadn't donated a kidney. Seems like a no brainer to do the same. Don't let superstition deny someone else a life.
What sources do you count on for national news coverage? How about international and local news?
Usually radio and web for both. Radio works best when mobile/working followed up by web for text & video for more detail.
When did you last write/receive a handwritten, snail-mail letter? Who was it to/from?
Submitted by Places Unknown.
So long ago I really can't remember!
