Konini's Enviro Maze

Schools in New Zealand haven't got a good reputation - mostly due to the fact that bullying is not properly dealt with. Our own experience of four schools in West Auckland definitely bear that out. But then there are jewels shining through, and Konini Primary is one such school with a principal and teachers working hard to make a difference.

ANM News Flash - Save the 24/7 Sexual Assault Crisis Helpline

My wife and I make video news reports and here is out latest one, published on Friday, about the New Zealand government's decision to withdraw full funding from the 24-hour helpline to support women who have suffered sexual assault in Auckland.

Everything is Pixelated, Issue 43

I write an IT page for a local paper and I thought it would be a good idea to offer it on this site as well.

The latest one, issue 43, is available for grab as a PDF by clicking here. In it, I talk about AirServer (in order to stream whatever you see on your iOS device to your Mac or PC), and I offer a tip to try and preserve some of your iPhone's precious battery life.

If you like it, you can grab all the others by taking a quick visit to this site.

Galaxy on Fire 2: Supernova - Review

Supernova is the third chapter of the Galaxy on Fire 2 iOS game. I've already covered the first and second instalments in the past for MacLife, but here's a quick recap...

Galaxy on Fire 2 is a space exploration, combat and trading game whose concept is very similar to the 80s sensation, Elite. Of course, the graphics are sublime in comparison, and unlike Elite, there's a storyline which you can choose to follow or not (nothing will happen to the main storyline while you're off exploring on your own).

Shameless

Writing for nothing, a concept I'm exploring with this new blog, is not something to consider lightly. Being a freelancer, if I don't get commissioned, I don't earn any money, so writing for nothing potentially removes precious minutes, even hours away from my usual bacon hunting activities.

It also takes time away from my family as writing for nothing doesn't magically add a couple of hours to my days.

Covering all the Bases

We all knew Apple would announce a smaller 7.9 inch iPad at today's event. In fact, so much had leaked out from various sources that it wasn't much of a surprise at all.

Personally, I found the new iMacs much more amazing from an engineering standpoint. They're absolutely gorgeous and now more than ever before, potential customers will wonder where the computer went : it's thinner than many competitors' standalone displays for god's sake!
