In all the chaos of the last few weeks I had actually forgotten that Judith Collins was still the leader of the national party.

Last year I welcomed my first child Finlay. He's doing well now but the journey getting there included 17 weeks in hospital(my partner for 10 and then Finlay for 7). I've written up some of the experience - breccan.com/2021/02/the-co…

In #TimorLeste, this project pays farmers to plant trees weforum.org/videos/21666-t… 🇹🇱🌱🌳. You can calculate & offset your carbon emissions too withoneseed.org.au 👍

Very happy about the part Ackama played in building the platforms to make this possible and seeing everyone's efforts come together.

Have we, as a society, forgotten that we can make caramel flavoured things without salting them? Even the Primo caramel milk is salted.

Brisket ready for an overnight cook.

A good reminder of why the ruby community is so nice was having Yukihiro Matz dial into our friday drinks for a bit. I'm not sure he expected to be asked questions about steps to post-covid communtiy and the ethics of AI in our 'casual conversation', but was great.

Great press takeup of our Australian growth announcement! Thanks to everyone who picked it up and we look forward to getting to work with new colleagues

I want a play by play of what Robert Iger does over the next 4 weeks far more than I want all these twitter discussions. There's so much nuance tied up in making Disney work.

The start of a new era! Data for the NZSL Online Dictionary is now stored in NZSL Signbank. The original Signbank tool, developed for Auslan, now has many spinoffs - see github.com/Signbank . The NZSL Signbank was adapted for us by Ackama - thank you!

Just clicked on the X in the corner to try and close the menu. Didn't work.

The most kiwi thing in the world - almost certainly secure a spot in the semi-finals and the article everyone wants to read is the thing you did wrong.

I went on one of those(we were doing some work for the Vanuatu government at the time). I am apparently now officially a "C-list" business leader. I wonder if I can get a certificate.

I know everyone is complaining about the wellington CBD. But out here in Island Bay we seem to have doubled the number of cafes and been steadily improving if anything. (Also people are staying home enough that it's now worth asking if people live nearby and just meeting here)
