I’m currently helping a friend buy a laptop. I’m bamboozled. I understand almost all the numbers. I know more than the sales staff. In fact, I fix computers, so I know what breaks. I just can’t decide. There is so much silly choice. Just one manufacturer will have something like 10 models on display – […]
I’m spending the day with 20 awesome music teachers from through the north island. This is fun.
Orson, who is 4, has a little history with iPads. This is his latest creation. His older siblings modelled the software for him, and he snuck the shoot in before dinner the other night. While it’s hardly got a theme of redemption, and the acting is a little 2 dimensional, I think it’s nice. He […]

I use Outlook everyday. It is my principal business tool. This is particularly weird because in my former life as a schoolteacher I hated Outlook. I did everything I could to avoid using it. I had email forwarded to webmail as an alternative. One of the key reasons for this was to do with my […]
