Redeployment Of Capital Needed For A Greener Future

When those that are thinking about #online #voting in #NewZealand can answer these simple and well articulated points made by @tomscott then we can talk about it, until then let’s not kid...Finnotec Triumphs Again
After missing the previous two events due to timetable clashes, the planets aligned and I finally made it to this year’s Finnotec event. With some important partnerships now sorted and a bunch...Passwords and NOT Being Hacked
Over the past few weeks I have taken the time (and you do need to take time) to spring clean my online footprint as far as I can - here’s what I did.First of all I changed my main Google...Review: Alice in Wonderland
Circa’s panto this year is Alice in Wonderland, and it is a mystical journey down the rabbit hole (Mt Vic tunnel), to discover fun, some quality Kiwi bangers, and utter manicism (in a good...Four Nights In the Green Barrow Pub – Review
Four Nights In the Green Barrow Pub is the third of Cassandra Tse’s shows I’ve seen, and each one was wildly different from the others. M’Lady had me in stitches, The Aliens, in tears. ...Rules Are Made To Be Broken
If you know any the following hashtags (I’ll link to Twitter use) #rulesascode, #betterrules, or #legislationascode then you’ll have a rough idea as to what I’m going to write about. Let’s...What Is It To Be A Technology Optimist
Not so long ago I was thrown the line, “Ah, but you’re for ever the tech optimist Mike”, and I believe is was meant as a put down, or at least a means of trying to keep me quiet. It failed.It...Big Expensive Brains Going Nowhere
I’ve been asked to attend a number of city council* run workshops over the year’s I’ve been a grey haired fella. Each one has had great intentions, a myriad of agendas, and an attendance by the...#WellyTech 2019 - Tickets On Sale

Blackbird Ensemble are “NZ’s most exciting chamber orchestra”, and Thursday’s homage to Björk supported that claim more than competently. A collection of strings, horns, percussionists,...Review: Cock

I wrote an amazing review of this show about 24 hours ago. It was midnight on a Thursday and I knew I had to wake up in six hours and my head was full of music and words and the show only had...Review: The Turn of the Screw
During the interval of last night’s performance of Benjamin Britten’s The Turn of the Screw, I popped outside for a bit of cold air and second-hand smoke. As I stood reading the playbills, a...Preview: Show Me Shorts 2019 Programme Announced!
With its largest ever programme, the Show Me Shorts Film Festival opens at cinemas across Aotearoa from the 5th of October. With sixty short films and three music videos – all chosen from a...Review: Peggy Pickit Sees the Face of God
Liz and Frank have spent the past few years achieving the sort of anaemic existence that passed for middle-class success for my parents’ generation. Careers, a house, a child. Carefully...Review: The Pink Hammer
Circa One has been turned into a man-cave, complete with a nude calendar – permanently set to July – a fridge full of beers and a Ryobi power drill for The Pink Hammer, being performed until...Tasty tastings
Rules around advertising alcohol are pretty strict. That’s why Highball, Wellington’s first spirits & cocktail festival, was not able to tell you that for your $50 entry fee, you would...Preview: Peggy Pickit Sees the Face of God
‘Peggy Pickit Sees the Face of God’ by Roland Schimmelpfennig is opening at Circa Theatre next week. A New Zealand premiere appropriate for our modern lives, this play examines colonialist...Review: Death Comes To Us All
Death takes her by the hand, leads her to a pool of light at the apron of the stage and she tells us her last moments. There’s light at the end, she says, and disappears off stage. I sniff, a...
