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 […]
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 and I celebrating after completing the final leg of the Madhvi marathon (12 km).
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 […]
James stopped off to visit, so us and Aron went karting together. I came last. I’m slightly bitter about the result lol.
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 🙂
We were lucky to be given the opportunity to work from an office provided by some friendly Nepalese tech folk 🙂
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 […]
A fun trip to Gdansk with Lynn 🙂
The sweet apartment Lynn and I shared in Gdansk 🙂
Dave and I went canoeing on Otago harbour. An awesome day out enjoying nature from the water 🙂
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 […]
Better late than never. This was from last year 🙂 Download video
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 🙂
No office coz of the Coronapocalypse? No problem 🙂
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 […]
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 🙂
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 🙂
Photos from my trip to Iceland last year with Brianna.
Brianna and I went to Fairy Falls near Auckland.
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
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 […]
I headed to Poznan for a few days of coworking with Madhvi, Craig, Aleksandra and Katrin 🙂
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 🙂 […]
The East Side Gallery is a popular tourist spot near to my home in Berlin, so I often take people there 🙂
Medovik torta is a traditional Russian dessert I learned about a long time ago from a close friend from Kazakhstan. Years later, I experienced it with another person from Kazakhstan when we found it in a random cafe in Berlin 🙂
I took my visitors Uylana and Olga site seeing in Berlin 🙂
The Middle East, always warm, always sunny … NOT! That ground outside aint meant to be white 😉
I organised a walking tour of the street art scene in Berlin. Here are some pictures from the trip.
I can relate to this well. It reminds me of how I felt throughout much of my life. I still do feel this quite often, but time has helped me learn how to figure out what the rest of you nutters mean sometimes. Found thanks to Leah Marie Zeppos.
Lynn and I headed to Budapest for a weekend of site seeing 🙂
Beautiful view on my way to work this morning.
