I've started carrying around the full-text of Wikipedia on my phone. It is kind of magic to have THAT much information "offline" in your pocket. On a trans-pacific flight with dodgy wifi, it was a fantastic crossword puzzle solving resource 😆

Oh NIWA, you're so cute...computing climate "virtual station data" for single points across Aotearoa and charging $500 per station to get the data. Selling data via a Shopify store 😆. My Official information Act request is in to learn a wee bit more about this grift.

On a visit to the US and hearing a clock tower in the distance. I don't think I've ever heard one in NZ. Are there active clock towers in NZ, or does NZ just reject them full-stop? 😆

TFW an AI hiring bot sends you a snapshot of your GitHub that says you’re in the top 1% of HTML engineers globally. My response “tell your algo to go home, it be drunk”. Should I have played along 🤔?

Now why would you ever consider including learners (students) in the change being proposed? 🫠 Omiting learners from the process tells me all I need to know. Luckily my kids are done with that system now.
