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 – […]
Warning: rant ahead. We have just received another 5MB pdf newsletter from our kids’ primary school. It’s a pain to read. It’s annoying to download. It puts a lot of stress on the school’s mail server. But that doesn’t bother me nearly as much as this: It’s extremely dumb. Do you know how many people […]
I had a great Friday. It was scary, but I enjoyed a massive success. I met great people, I did good things, I conquered fears, I learned from mistakes. Most of the things I planned worked awesomely.

In case you missed it, the Music Technology PD Day is on in Auckland on the first Friday of next term. We’ve got teachers coming from as far afield as Tauranga and Long Bay, and a couple of […]
I was really privileged to attend a Social Media Breakfast featuring Facebook’s head of marketing, Randi Zuckerberg (Mark’s sister) this morning. Here is a brief summary and some of my thoughts. Randi’s best lines On the dating scene in Silicon Valley: The odds are good, but the goods are odd. On her (famous) brother: I graduated from […]
Well, maybe not so much a series of thoughts as some really simple definitions. I’ll start with a nice jargony sentence. If you want a website, first you need to choose a domain name, get a webhost, build it using a CMS, draw some traffic to it, then update it. You should have a way […]
