An article caught me eye the other day entitled “I Ate At Jeremy Clarkson’s Farm 90 Minutes From Wales, Two Words Sum Up The Whole Experience”. I read the whole article and it was longer than two words. There was also no two word summary. For the sake of accuracy the title should instead be […]

I’ve noticed recently a yearning to unplug and return to more atomised technology. My nephew rocks a dumbphone and a digital camera he found in an op shop for a few dollars, swinging the full might of his uni student spending power. For those with a stable job Fuji has a much classier, versatile option […]
With the news Spike Lee would be tackling the Kurosawa classic “High & Low” I decided to give myself an education by actually watching it. I have now joined the ranks of film nerds who will badger you to watch everything Akira Kurosawa has ever made because it really is that great. High & Low […]
After 25 years Dwayne Johnson has finally done it, he’s acted in a movie. In a weird circular way it took a role that was most like his real life before he was able to fully immerse himself both mentally and physically into his role. Viewers seeing the first trailers for The Smashing Machine were […]

Superman hit a high tide line with Superman II back in 1980. Since then it has failed to every reach the heights the first two films with Christopher Reeves achieved. Things got particularly dire when DC tried launching their cinematic universe with a dark gritty Batman inspired tone to set itself apart from Marvels pack […]
It’s hard to believe it’s been 15 years since Director Joseph Kosinski reimagined what a modern Tron movie looks like. I was an instant fan of the film which seemed to get a lukewarm critical reception. It was a real vibe of a movie, and with Daft Punk doing the music, the soundtrack was a […]
In the run up to the publication of this issue many bombshells were dropped, the most sustained was the Epstein thing, the most conveniently sidelined was continued revelations about Steel Dossier shenanigans, and the most fun had to be the Coldplay concert going down in history for suddenly turning into reality TV. It was just […]
Today we were all shocked by the passing of rock god and Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osborne at the age of 76. Just days ago he was performing live on stage, rocking till the very end.

Hannah Stocking made her way up to the Oscars Red Carpet in perhaps a way inconceivable a few decades ago. She studied biology and chemistry, which already makes her more qualified than most actors to have an opinion on literally anything at all. She’s dabbled in film here and there but not anything breakout. Most […]
Bertone first introduced it’s Autobianchi Runabout back in 1969. What a head turner, with it’s wedge shaped design and shoulder mounted headlights.

If you’ve been watching The White Lotus Season 3, you’ll know that once again, creator Mike White has done another beautiful job of turning paradise into an uncomfortable pressure cooker of human dysfunction.

It doesn’t matter how smart we think we are as humans – Nature always turns out smarter, stronger and just plain better than us every time. That’s what Wai Manuka Sparkling Water Taught us.

Watches & Wonders is an event dedicated to the fine art of horology, at it’s core it’s downright scientific and nerdy, but it’s also an artform that draws people at the top of their fields. The halls in Geneva were swamped with talent like Roger Federer sporting a Rolex or French footballer Kylian Mbappé equipped […]
To say the world has changed a lot in twenty years is an understatement. When we first got started in 2005 we had no idea we were just a few years away from a global financial crisis, then a pandemic and then a resurgence in cold war saber rattling. We didn’t know what cryptocurrency was […]
There’s something fascinating about the current phase of electric vehicles. Everyone’s racing toward the future, but no one’s quite sure what it’s supposed to feel like.

When Igor Matich arrived in New Zealand as a 14-year-old immigrant from war-torn Croatia, he didn’t speak English, didn’t know anyone, and had no idea what the future held.

Tim Boyne didn’t grow up dreaming of IPOs and founder exits. He wasn’t raised in a house where startup valuations were casual conversation.

In the last issue I had the opportunity to play with the Epson EF-21G. This time around I got to spend time with the EF-22B, which at first blush feels like the EF-21G if it had a swivelling gimball base. It’s this rotating base that allows for a full 360 degrees of movement for the […]

On the central Pacific island of Kiribati, the national government built a seawall to protect people from storm surges and sea-level rise—but ended up merely redirecting erosion to an area farther down the coastline.

2024 sure was a year. It had all the days and everything. World events that happened at the beginning felt like a lifetime ago. Fortunately we remembered them all so you wouldn’t have to.

Humanity has come a long way from our first starry night musings about the nature of the cosmos and what it all means.
