I usually hear Paul Thurrott on Windows Weekly podcast but this week he was in New Zealand for TechEd. This local podcast with Paul, & Aussie Microsoft MVP Alan Burchillis, is worth a listen for Aussie/Kiwis interested in the new wave of products & services from Microsoft.

At one point Paul mentions funny Kiwi money. When I first went to the US in 2004 a nz$1 was worth about us$0.60, it’s currently about us$0.82 and the NZ economy has not improved. At least you can see the difference between notes!

Kathy Sierra asks “Does the US suck at design?” beginning with a comparison of US and Swiss currency. I read the start of the post thinking she’d probably like NZ currency only to find, further on, she does as citing the nz$5 bill which features Hillary and a penguin!
