Gordon Bell's New Zealand Trip

Wow that auction is over. Both the seller and the buyer made the front page of all our Sunday papers... more than $22,000 was paid for the $50 handbag and the $100 phone. Trade Me stayed up in light of the feverish viewing... that page put the counter around the clock and it is currently at 1,072,893 page views or 1 in 4 people in New Zealand have seen it. I wonder what the actual security camera footage will reach next?

As promised I said would talk a little more about Gordon Bell. Start by taking a look at his homepage. In addition to Campbell live... the dominion did an article on Gordon's recent trip to New Zealand.

The MyLifeBits project page is here and there is a Channel 9 video on MyLifeBits here and a discussion with Gordon about the early days of the Internet here.

Again "big ups" to Mark (no blog) Carroll for coordinating Gordon's trip... Mark mentioned to me last week that he was taking Gordon to his home in Wellington for a home cooked meal... I'm sure that will turn up in Gordon's archive!
