My boyfriend though it would be funny to bid $300 on a Trade Me auction to spend a night with newspaper columnist Bridget Saunders. But the joke backfired. He won the auction, and a date was set.
My other half, Grant, won the auction last Wednesday evening, and by the weekend Bridget had given him a call and proposed a Monday night date.

The new hit film Transformers is accurately described by Variety Post’ s Jay Weissberg as “big, loud and full of testosterone-fueled car fantasies.”
Director Michael Bay has successfully created a film that will live up to the expectations of any Transformer-obsessed fan. Exciting chases and animated transformation sequences put into live action make this film a thrill ride for all ages.

There aren’t many jobs that reward you for getting into fights, driving too fast and shooting at people - but actor Will Wallace has found one.
Playing an angry cop has earned him a nomination for best supporting actor at next week’s Air New Zealand Screen Awards.
Wallace worked out, drank protein shakes and put on 5kg to play Tom Bowden, the most troubled member of the fictional covert border security unit in Kiwi-made drama Orange Roughies.

Lately it feels like all hear around me are words like “blog”, “chunking” and the “Web 2.0″.
While these terms may be unfamiliar to luddites and those of a certain age, they are fast becoming part of everyday language.
Many of you reading this probably spend a lot of time on the internet, and believe that anyone who does not is from the dark ages. I, however, am a member of ‘Generation Y’ and I do not even have a MySpace page (even John Howard has one).

Online social networking is a cluttered and competitive environment. But a New Zealand team believe their website iYomu.com will flourish by targeting adults only.
Benefits of joining iYomu are the same as most social networking sites available. However, it is only available to those over 18 - iYomu is focusing on the more mature 30 to 50-year-old audience.

Some people can be fixated on the web for hours to find the content they want. Others will stick to surfing one or two trusted websites.
Some say many are addicted to the instant gratification the web provides. Web addiction is as real as gambling, alcohol and drug addictions, says Auckland University Psychology Lecturer Nathan Gaunt.
