Last weekend I went with Sheryl and Tony to Red Rocks.

The coast is rugged and the wind was incredible.

Some of the rocks are red, but only a handful. The seals rest here in winter. If you haven’t been, you should go. It’s worth the walk.

A few weeks ago Vicky and I drove to Raglan to surf. Here’s Vicky in front of the rolling paddocks:

Raglan was excellent for surfing. Check out the swell:

Good times, you almost didn’t need a wetsuit.

This is what Wellington looks like in summer:

Very sunny. The harbor is filled with people who love water.

And in winter:

That’s pretty dark.

Winter starts now and ends around November. Hopefully it won’t be that bad.

Last night at Webstock mini the Codeblacks competed against Silicon Wellie.¹

Before the event there was smack-talk between myself and John Lewis. He defected the day before the competition, so our words were bitter!

§

“You’re going down this evening… it’s cute you guys think you have a chance,” John said.

“I’m still not convinced the members of your team can wake up from their afternoon naps in time. Age has its price I guess,” I replied.

“Age and experience always triumphs youth and beauty, but I can see how they haven’t taught you that in 5th grade.”

“That’s so colonial of you! Emancipate yourself from England or be brainwashed forever! Your history books are obviously doctored.”

§

The outcome? Victory!

Sarah Lewis pitched our idea to the judges and audience. Our business was about advising angel investors, and their business was about sex and porridge.

Now I know what you’re saying, “Sex and porridge? That sounds exciting!”

Yes, it may sound exciting, but it’s not like mixing peanut butter and jelly to make an awesome sandwich.

It’s more like mixing red wine and Coke. Serfs were guillotined in France for less. Baguette!

Congrats to both teams. It’s not easy creating a presentation in twenty minutes. Afterwards the Wellington Ukulele Orchestra played and they were awesome.

_{1. I wonder, why silicon? Why not polonium or rutherfordium or krypton? Is it to reference Silicon Valley? Do they know that Silicon Valley was named so because it has the largest number of breast implants per capita? That’s so hot!}

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.
