A quickie, since I was away at a meeting for the whole day yesterday and am doing extra work now.
   Here’s a way to show your support for Emirates Team New Zealand, as forwarded by my friend Paul Sinclair:

We’d like Kiwis to head to www.supportwaka.co.nz to register their support for the team by typing in their name at the site. Supporters[’] names will be manipulated to form a virtual waka, which will then be sent to the team prior to the first race. An image of the completed virtual waka, using supporters[’] names, will be included in national press ads as the regatta gets under way on the weekend. We’ll also be sending a waka paddle, or hoe, to Valencia—engraved with as many names as possible. This will also be presented to Emirates Team New Zealand.

   It’s probably the best way for those who cannot be in Valencia to feel a part of supporting the country’s yachting team—short of buying red socks. Not quite a One-style exercise, but still one that is participatory among the public. Posted by Jack Yan, 00:19  permalink
