Wired magazine & meMarch 24th, 2008, 6 Comments

I’m in Wired magazine this month in an article about Ponoko and instant manufacturing.

And how!

Here’s my side table, square table, turtle tiki necklace and chilly tiki necklace. If anyone has questions about Ponoko feel free to ask.

Deluxe is my favorite cafe in Wellington and it’s also the place I sold my first turtle tiki necklace.

If you’re in Wellington this weekend you must attend Craft 2.0 at the New Dowse between 11:00 and 3:00.

I’ll be making badges for Sue, and selling some necklaces too.

Resistance is futileMarch 19th, 2008, 8 Comments

Today the government of New Zealand granted me indefinite residency. This affords me certain inalienable rights:

  1. to enter and leave New Zealand indefinitely
  2. to work for any employer or setup a business
  3. to walk anywhere in Wellington without shoes or socks
  4. to say “bro” and “choice” and other colorful words found in the vernacular
  5. to buy groceries at New World without wearing a shirt
  6. to use verbs and nouns, e.g. “have a feed”
  7. to eat sandwiches made from french fries and tomato sauce
  8. to sing the New Zealand national anthem without feeling phony
  9. to bicycle to work in Lycra

I’m sure there are other privileges, so feel free to add to my list.

And to my American friends, if you find America collapsing like a Jenga game from economic ruin, you can stay with me in New Zealand.

You’ll like it, I promise.
