So this latest more geek-related post started off simply enough. I just installed Office 2013 on an old laptop, signed in with my Microsoft Account and was amused to see all my "recent" documents appear as if I'd been using them on that laptop! Yea, I guess I'm a bit behind, but hadn't actually done … Continue reading Microsoft Office

Happy (almost) Mother’s Day!
I am a mother, I have a mother as does my husband. Typically, in the midst of the commercialism of living in the Western world, this week (the week before Mother's Day) our days are filled with the question "What should we do? Should we do it all together? Should we take our mothers our seperately?" … Continue reading Happy (almost) Mother’s Day!
My brave friend Nat!
This is a shout out post to my mate Nat!! I've know her since we were kidlets and she did an awesome awesome thing today, so I had to skite on her behalf! That's her to the right there! We spent an emotional and fun morning cutting all her hair off! This is her before … Continue reading My brave friend Nat!
I Was Wrong
I guess it's not often that people admit that they are wrong, but I've thought about this, and I have realised that a careless tweet that I made actually went against my own principles and I'd like your thoughts on it! So this was the tweet I was talking bout: https://twitter.com/vivster81/statuses/440959233392001024 I got some typical … Continue reading I Was Wrong
PRIDE! and Unicorns!
I had THE MOST AWESOME Saturday night and so did thousands of people! It was the second ever Pride Parade in Auckland! (not including all the Hero parades we have had in the past!) It was the culmination of two weeks of <<insert superlative complimentary adjectives>> Pride celebrations! I marched with the Amnesty Aotearoa crew … Continue reading PRIDE! and Unicorns!
Mainstream Music – does it matter?
Amnesty International hosted a concert in Brooklyn, New York, USA, yesterday. I had read about the line up a few weeks ago and thought to myself "WOW", which was quickly followed by a teeny wee bit of jealousy, as I work for the local NZ flavour of Amnesty, and we are just too far away … Continue reading Mainstream Music – does it matter?
Nemo’s Reef!
So, i've been pretty obsessed with a game on my Surface since just before Christmas. It is called Nemo's Reef. (see links below on the three major platforms) It's pretty much Command & Conquer without the fighting. You are Nemo living in the Reef with your dad Marlin and you have to build a home … Continue reading Nemo’s Reef!
Happy New Year! (and Turduckin)
Happy New Year everyone!!! Been quiet on the blogging front so I thought I'd be lazy and just post a photo gallery! Some of you guys were interested in my tweets bout Turduckin before XMas, so without further ado, here is how it went down (*burp*)
The Achilles Effect
I read the most amazing book last night. I am a unashamed loud and proud feminist. I thought I knew all there was to know about gendered marketing and sexism. I thought that I was safe from all that with my two boys. Boy was I wrong. I'd, of course, always been personally affected by … Continue reading The Achilles Effect
Science & Maths
Yep, I'm a self-confessed Tiger Mom. I have a real tension (within my own head) about how to raise my boys. My oldest is just finishing up his first year of school this week. He is currently enrolled in swimming lessons, karate lessons, piano lessons and Kumon Maths. This looks to continue for the next … Continue reading Science & Maths
