Apartment renovations underway
Effects of the digital world on young people
Here is a random brain dump I commented on a post by Clive Murphie on Facebook. I think most peoples fears of the digital world are misplaced. Younger folk are much more sociable than our generations ever were. Their opportunities to create and share art work are improved through the ability to share what they […]
Prague babies
Hanging out with babies in Prague!
New exercise regime
Getting frustrated for 30 mins, followed by aggressively storming around the house in a huff for 10 mins. After a short break, I will continue with 10 mins of aggressively bashing my head against something solid, finished off with 15 mins of heavy sighing and stretching my neck whilst staring forlornly at the floor. Originally […]
Ryans hair
Here are some hideous photos taken by Andy Noble in 2007. People keep asking what my hair looked like before I chopped it all off, so here you go 🙂 … basically, terrible and thin 😛 I should have shaved it all off when I was still teenager. Oh well, retrospect …
Muskrats
We saw these little critters scampering around by the waterside in Prague. It seemed very odd, as they seem to have no fear of anything. It turns out they’re an invasive introduced pest! The local vegan restaurant is providing them with fresh food each day; go figure 😛 At least they provide some entertainment for […]
BenQ camera
This is random. I saw the first digital camera I ever bought on amazon.de today. I bought it in 2004, so I’m kinda surprised it’s been for sale at all recently.
Warsaw
Visiting Warsaw with Lynn.
Chilli shop
My local chilli shop got fresh chillis in. I bought a big selection of them 🙂 I said to the guy at the shop “will this burn my mouth out if I try to eat it on my way home?” and pointed to the least spicy one I bought (can’t remember the name, but it […]
Brandenburg an der Havel
Mo, Jacob, myself and Jenny went on a cycling trip from Brandenburg an der Havel to Potsdam. Lunch consisted on an amazing ice cream sundae 🙂
Madhvi marathon
Madhvi and I celebrating after completing the final leg of the Madhvi marathon (12 km).
Sabrina
Dublin with Donnacha
define: bodge job
Berlin summers feel a little like hanging out in Satan’s anus. To make matters worse, ze Germans don’t seem to believe in air conditioning. Thankfully, the gods invented cheap portable air conditioners, so I bought one ready for last summer. The pipe it came with was too short to reach my living room though so […]
Karting with Aron and James
James stopped off to visit, so us and Aron went karting together. I came last. I’m slightly bitter about the result lol.
Grunewald hike
I organised my first post/mid-Coronapocalypse hike after laws were dropped limiting the number of attendees. It was great to get back out in nature again with so many new cool people 🙂
Coworking in Kathmandu
We were lucky to be given the opportunity to work from an office provided by some friendly Nepalese tech folk 🙂
Baldwin St with Brianna
RIP William Leyden
I was very nervous about changing from primary school to intermediate school at the age of 11. I had a lot of trouble making friends back in those days. For some reason, people often reacted strangely to me. I didn’t know why; I just knew that it happened and it scared me. All the new […]
Liberty vs safety
Annapurna circuit pictures from phone
Gdansk with Lynn
A fun trip to Gdansk with Lynn 🙂
Gdansk apartment
The sweet apartment Lynn and I shared in Gdansk 🙂
With Brianna in Auckland
Canoe with Dave
Dave and I went canoeing on Otago harbour. An awesome day out enjoying nature from the water 🙂
Coworking
Change
Many people seem to fear the future because of what they feel it will become. But I feel the world is changing for the better. Everyone dies. A significant number of people who hold the most heinous views are dying out. In their void, are rising those with less heinous views, and once they are […]
Poznan coworking
Better late than never. This was from last year 🙂 Download video
Rig fix
With Brianna at Purakenui falls
Corona Pizza
Madhvi and I broke the 2 m rule, whilst Craig kept himself locked behind glass (where he belongs) while did a small group pizza baking session 🙂
Stadtpark Friedrichshain office
No office coz of the Coronapocalypse? No problem 🙂
Corona office
I’m unfortunately having some technical difficulties with the air conditioning in my office today. It’s too hot. Thankfully this office comes with it’s own pool, so I might take a dip shortly to cool off. In case anyone is wondering … the law changed here to say that people are allowed to stop and rest […]
Green screen
An emergency green screen for team meeting … And I’m now back working from a cafe for the afternoon 🙂 It’s a sheet hanging on a clothes horse 🙂
Strattic team meeting
Corona BoxVR
Don’t go outside they say. Get exercise to ward off the virus they say. Those two don’t go well together, so I’m using BoxVR on the Oculus Quest to achieve both 🙂 I bought it a week or so ago, and it’s turning out to be an epically useful little tool for getting exercise in […]
Social distance cycling
I decided to leave the home during the day for the first time in a week. Mo, Craig and I headed out of the city by bike to enjoy the forest breeze 🙂 It was so lovely to see all the families, grandparents and coughing grand children out staying nice and close and just playing […]
Bog roll issues
I have a very first world problem … Anyone who has been to my apartment will be aware that I like to buy absolutely enormous amounts of toilet paper. Then I never buy any toilet paper for about six months, maybe a year. It’s great. Less shopping and I never run out of bog roll. […]
Brianna taking a photo of the Purakanui falls
Art in 1994
14 year old me thought this was a stunning piece of artwork. I hadn’t seen it again until now. Not the monstrosity I suspected it was in reality, but definitely not the object of perfection I recalled it as. I didn’t think I would ever see it again, but for some reason I suddenly remembered […]
Mt Cargill with Dave
Dave and I headed up Mount Cargill in Dunedin, to check out the city from above. The city wasn’t visible as the weather packed in and it started to rain around 400 m up the hill, but we got some great views of clouds billowing across the mountain 🙂
Iceland photos
Photos from my trip to Iceland last year with Brianna.
Fairy Falls
Brianna and I went to Fairy Falls near Auckland.
Colouring masterpiece
I haven’t done colouring since I was a little kid. My three nieces let me join in, and this master piece of art was what I created 🙂 #skill #stillgotit #colouring
Self driving bus
I took my very first ride on a self driving bus! It wasn’t very smart, and it often got confused and once even stopped because a leaf blew in front of it. But it was still cool to experience this technology first hand. Hopefully I’ll be reading this again in the future, whilst whizzing across […]
Coworking in Poznan
I headed to Poznan for a few days of coworking with Madhvi, Craig, Aleksandra and Katrin 🙂
Congratulations Auntie Vera
One of my favourite humans made it to 100 years of age recently; my Great Auntie Vera. I was planning to visit her next month, but after a strong charge through life, she left us before my visit. Thankfully I got to sit down for a big long chat the last time I visited 🙂 […]
Grunewald hike
Apartment after a spruce up
East Side Gallery
The East Side Gallery is a popular tourist spot near to my home in Berlin, so I often take people there 🙂
