Finally some great news for our science innovation ecosystem. Kudos to the govt for understanding that entrepreneurship does not succeed in a vacuum. geniusrefi.com/40m-funding-f…

On the road to recovery now after a rather too close shave with lymphoma in 2025. Raglan this weekend has been an amazingly restful location with rejuvenating sea air, amazing views and some overdue quiet time for writing and reflection about what's next.

Swapped out Gemini for a basic version of Groq Llama to test my @GeniusReFi Explore app prototype. Super fast and much easier to administer than clunky Google dashboard. Outputs are very similar however. More research needed. Better fun than doing EOY accounts, for sure. 😆

Our native tree plantings around the property are finally starting to pay off. First little skink spotted.

Best Christmas present I got this year was finishing up 18 gruelling weeks of chemotherapy. I've been super fortunate to have had almost no nausea. But when required the McCashin's Stoke ginger beer has been a real tonic. See - I'm an influencer now! 🤣

Mount Bruce - Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre back from the brink (again). A sanctuary for our rarest native birds, this place should never have been put at risk. Need to get our priorities back on track in this country! rnz.co.nz/news/national/5827…

I feel your presents. Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄

Breaking news. Foreshadowed in the RS&T reforms of 2024 when TTOs were put on notice. NZ to unlock more science innovation. More on this shortly... geniusrefi.com/nz-unlocks-mo…

Black swan event. This cute little fellow made his way into our back yard from the nearby wetland. Managed to drop him back to his parents just before sunset last night. He crossed a road and avoided several cats and dogs along the way. Quite the adventurer. Not the best photo but we were in a hurry.
