Kiwis in Berlin
Visiting the Jewish memorial in Berlin, with Karyn and Melissa.

Otago University staff club
Stunning piece of art
This stunning piece of art is my first master piece created at school. I don’t know if it is from my first day of school, but it is the first thing I ever wrote into a school book. Thanks to my Dad for storing my books away all the years 🙂
Octagon free WiFi speed test
Selfie in selfie free zone
One does not simply create a selfie free zone and expect tourists not to do selfies in it. I saw this sign whilst in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Coworking in Timisoara
I recently went to Timisoara in Romania with some friends. Check out the video of the trip. Special thanks to Madhvi for creating awesome pancakes for breakfast every morning 🙂
My sexy look
Jelly coworking does Timisoara
I went on an exciting coworking adventure to Timisoara in Romania. I recorded the adventure on my trusty GoPro strapped to a dildo.
Koln memorial
I came across this very old church whilst walking around Köln in Germany. It is known as Alt St. Alban. It was a church which was destroyed during World War 2 and is now used as a memorial to the victims of war.

Photo difficulties
My friend Madvhi took a photo of me last night. When I tried to do a selfie, the framed picture on the wall behind me got messed up.
Green tea
Whilst people back home were dealing with a terrifying earthquake (everyone I know seems to be okay thankfully), I was taking my first baby steps towards becoming a grown up. I bought a green tea 🙂 As a child, I was always told that hot drinks are for adults, and so I never had any. […]
Fruit around the world
Random things I’ve noticed regarding fruit around the world: Australians think all Mango’s taste like donkey’s dick unless they buy it in Australia. North American strawberries are huge and pink, and taste like strawberry flavoured water. Strawberries in NZ are stupidly overpriced. All berries taste better in Europe. Bannanas usually taste good in NZ, always […]
WTF? Trump supporter.

SmartShaker shaker bottle
This is the best shaker bottle I’ve ever owned. It comes with two handy containers underneath the shaker, for storing your powder in. In this case, the powder was Huel. I managed to fit 90 g in the smaller container and 125 g in the larger container. It would be more like 75 g and […]
Google knows what you buy
So apparently Google now knows what you buy. I bought a Smart Shaker from Amazon recently, and it showed up in a Google search for “smart shaker”. Is this new? Or has Google been doing this for a while and I just didn’t notice?

Goodbye Free Advice Berlin
A Facebook group I used to be an administrator for was run with a simple democratic approach. A rogue admin tricked us into allowing another admin to join our group, and just after we realised what had occurred, myself and the other elected admin were unexpectedly removed without any consultation with the rest of the […]
Touchnote bug
Thanks to the helpful folks at Touchnote for fixing this lickity split 🙂 When I try to log in with Facebook, I get this: When I try to login via email, it says the password is wrong. When I try to reset the password, it says this: Something is going horridly wrong 😛
Treptower park office
Karpfenteich office
Working from my Karpfenteich office today 🙂
My Liepnitsee office
This was my office today 🙂 The weather was beautiful. I also tested out my new flippers in the lake. They’re amazeballs! Highspeed swimming with minimal effort 🙂
My vision of 2030
A debate on Facebook with Mauritius Seegar made me offer my own opinion on the world in 2030. The debate was based on a presentation by Tony Seba in Oslo Norway, where he suggested that all vehicles (or at least most) would be electric and fully automated by 2030. by 2030 all vehicles (cars, buses, […]
Turmwanderweg hike
I did the Turmwanderweg, a hike in Brandenburg from Bad Freienwalde to Falkenberg. We had great weather, and a nice bunch of people as always 🙂
My der Havel office
Facebook events alternative
I organise a lot of events (hiking, biking, skating etc) inside Facebook events. I have always used Facebook, because of course everyone on planet earth is on Facebook. I then moved to Berlin and found out that many (most?) Berliners are petrified of Facebook. This puts me in a bind, as Facebook is excellent for […]
My new office
This was my office for today. It was pretty awesome 🙂
Stasi Museum
Michelle and I visited the Stasi Museum in Lichtenberg, Berlin. The museum is based in the old Stasi head offices.
Adjusting my camera

Growing old
Uplifting others
Tools menu on meetup.com
Sometimes when I create an event on meetup.com, the tools menu is present, and sometimes not. Any ideas on why this is the case? I really need access to that, so that I can edit the number of members who can attend. I usually want to cap it at about 70’ish, but today I want it […]
Brisetal hike
Some photos from a recent hiking trip near Brisetal in Brandenburg.
Architecture in Vienna
Some beautiful architecture in Vienna, Austria.
Capsicum
This is an old photo I had lost. It was taken in 2008 and sent to my mum, to show how my capsicum plant was so much better than hers. Photo was taken in 8A 245 Cumberland St, Dunedin.
My first solo home!
I’ve entered the world of grown-ups and gotten my first own pad to live in. It feels a little weird having a whole place to myself.
I bought a new camera :)
Out with the “proper” camera and in with the GoPro 🙂 I remember seeing these when they first came out. I was super jealous, as I had attempted to make action cameras out of old camera parts before and the quality was nothing like as good as these fancy new GoPro things. Unfortunately their price […]
Eilat
I travelled with 15 others on a hiking excursion to Jordan. Unfortunately, we had some issues with the police and with visas on crossing the border.
Carrots
What we eat now vs wild carrots. Intensive cultivation over millenia has had way more effect on our food than genetic engineering has so far.
Spargell in Beelitz
For the second year in a row, I have headed to Beelitz just south of Berlin by bike, for the beginning the asparagus (spargell) season.
Co-working at Hermann Schulz
Co-working at Hermann Schulz with the Coding Amigo’s crew.
Oslo Sentrumsløpet
Six months ago, I set a fitness goal of beating my time in the Oslo Sentrumsløpet 10 km race. A combination of events led to me not beating that time.
Schmachtenhagen to Borgsdorf hike
Some photos from a recent hiking trip I went on from Schmachtenhagen to Borgsdorf. The photos were taken on my new Mobius C2 action camera.
Beard progress
People always say “how long does that take to grow” and I really had no idea, so I decided to measure it this time 🙂 18 days and I was sick of it.
Berliner Dom
Some photos from a recent trip to visit the Berlin Dom with Yvette and Michelle.
