Overlanding Northern America with breaks back home in NZ with my kids. Techie from way back.
The rest of the world thought you'd crossed that horizon with Columbine but Sandy Hook was another line, another atrocity so awful change should have been inevitable.
I am convinced America crossed an event horizon thirteen years ago, when even the deaths of elementary school aged children at the hands of a monster weren't enough for their government to say "enough is enough". Hard not to think that Americans would rather have their guns over their children.

It's a year since we said goodbye to our best boy. It's been amazing, I've motorbiked from Panama to the Arctic, but under all of it is grief and resilience. We are so lucky to have them ❤️

An odd choice of photo from the White House flickr account. The perspective is so skewed.

But do you? Really?
Dictators exist because the people don’t realize their power…and because the dictator works relentlessly…to make sure they never realize it.
We…realize our power in this country.

I’m planning a trip - we’re doing long haul, New Zealand to Europe and we are NOT doing stop overs in the US.
It’s incredible that the US has gone from being the safe travel option to the pariah.

Xmas is coming - don't get ripped off online!
I've been seeing ads all over the place for cute rings, necklaces, and earrings.
The prices are good but SHOCKER they could be even better.

Matador Network is a big travel site and some of the info is good but FFS stop centering the US on your articles.
2. You can use it no matter where you live
and then proceeds to only talk to readers who live in the US. There’s a lot of planet included in “no matter where you live”!

BBQ yesterday in sunny NZ. Met a guy who claimed he didn’t have a position on Trump and will argue the opposite to anyone who wants to discuss.

Reminding me of when a man who’d tried to use me as a scapegoat for his mates white collar crimes uploaded his contacts to LinkedIn.
As if I'd want to “connect” 🤣

We're working on a writeup that I'm pretty excited about --
Importing your address book to find friends is common for social, but it's insecure to enumeration attacks and database leaks so we've historically refused to implement it. The team has a proposal now that we think solves those risks.

I'm very disappointed that the fam aren't amused by this. Future SIL has earned himself some points though. Smart lad.

On a Facebook thread about a Route 66 anniversary.
I was stirring but I genuinely didn't expect the complete blindness to ICE’s scale of operation.
NZ has not been exempt from the crackdown. A lesser impact, definitely, but we're staying away too.

Played with ChatGPT, Code Copilot & Gemini today to get a script (x2) to send messages from my laptop.
Took ages, generated code I could read but not write.
Ultimately I get to give a 🖕to the spammers that made NZ 🇳🇿 lock sms sending down.
Small biz can't justify spending thousands on shortcodes.

Is anyone using a shared shortcode to send sms messages in New Zealand 🇳🇿?
I'm looking for a provider for low-volume send-only messages.

This post has been living rent free in my head.
I wish the friend all the best, the calmest most laid-back baby, and a cleaner so that pile of books gets read.
My experience: I'm so grateful for audiobooks!

my best friend’s baby shower request was books instead of cards to build up a library and that’s one of the many reasons I love her.
