Perhaps it’s those long straight – […]
Buying gifts, whether it be for your dad, brother or for some other bloke, can be tough to decide.

There is something utterly devastatingly visceral about the footage coming out of Afghanistan. Hordes of panicked, desperate people trying to escape in any way possible; some even hanging mid-air from a detached gangplank connected to an already overfilled aircraft. The comparison to the fall of Saigon has been made a lot, of course. But this […]

Traditionally in the US, whenever a new President takes charge, the media eagerly run a rule over the leader’s first 100 days to judge what kind of a president he (still no she as yet) will be. This tradition dates back to Franklin D. Roosevelt who took over in a similarly chaotic time in American […]
Time waits for no man. It’s one of the few things in this world that humans simply cannot control. We can’t reason with time, nor can we use our endless resources to fight time. No matter how much your desire it to speed up, slow down or stop completely, the clocks will continue to tick, […]

Not to generalise here, but as blokes, we tend to sometimes take pride in a sort of ‘lackadaisical’ approach to our bodies, particularly as we get older.

And Why Every Entrepreneur Should Have One I have a dog named Arlo. He’s a border collie and man, I love that guy but honestly, there are days when I’m picking up pieces of something that he’s destroyed or down on my knees, well, cleaning up after him, that I momentarily question why I […]
You may have lived your entire life thinking that a good Champagne only has one age. If you’re buying non-vintage wine, you may not have even heard of Disgorgement dates. Recording the disgorgement date wasn’t done until Bollinger’s own Madame Bollinger had the flash of inspiration to do it. The year was 1967 and drinking […]

Hands On with the Huion Kamvas 12 I’ve been needing a drawing tablet at work for a while now, but going all out on one of the higher end brands felt a little excessive. Enter Huion as the low end competitor ready to take Wacom’s market share. The Huion Kamvas 12 is one of their […]
Windows 11 is rolling out on October 8th for free for all Windows 10 users, but there is a catch. Windows 11 has some pretty strict guidelines for what it will install onto, and some older machines are going to be left behind in the dust. You can actually find out if your current rig […]

With all that’s been going on here down on Earth in the past few weeks, you’d be forgiven for forgetting about the fact that we currently have a machine roaming Mars searching for signs of extraterrestrial life (like we need another problem to deal with right now!). NASA’s Perseverance rover has been trekking around our planetary neighbour for almost exactly six months […]
As the months and years continue to tick over and the endless list of bleak headlines regarding the climate crisis only grows longer, the push to reduce national emissions becomes an increasingly pressing challenge for New Zealand.

Blue – it’s the colour of a hungry Siberian Husky’s eyes as they glitter at the edge of the campfire light watching your every mouthful of Arctic hare supper. It’s also the colour of the sapphires in the cloth bag under your shirt that jangle as you sprint across the border into Eritrea. Blue was […]
It’s been a long journey for Peter Beck and Rocket Lab, one that we at M2 have followed for many years, but the aerospace company finally had its moment of truth this week as it finally made its debut on the U.S. Nasdaq stock exchange. Rocket Lab, which founded by Beck right here on home […]
Imagine a future where with nothing but a thought you could turn up the radio, open your windows, or change the lighting.

I think it’s fair to say that in the immediate aftermath of the Labour government’s EV rebate scheme announcement, the responses were very… mixed. Labelled the Clean Car Discount, a $8,625 government rebate on purchases of all electric vehicles and hybrids priced under $80,000, funded in part by a fee on purchases of large petrol-engine vehicles in 2022, proved instantly divisive. Proponents begun hailing the governments’ commitment to the environment and urgency in attempting reducing […]
In all racing sports, every millisecond or millimetre gained or lost can mean the difference between a gold, silver, bronze, or leaving empty handed. While we see the battle to shave off precious seconds on the tracks and in the pool by the athletes, the battle that occurs in the design room might be just […]
Of all the obscure Olympic sports that suddenly become the centre of our attention for a three week stretch once every four years, there are few that evoke more puzzled responses than racewalking. It’s a strange one to get your head around, as it almost seems contradictory by design; you’re trying to go as fast as possible, but the inherent restrictions of the rules force you to slow your own momentum down […]

If you’re like me, the bane of your existence is fogged glasses while getting out and about with your mask on. It’s certainly not an ideal situation either having to decide what the best solution is. Either taking your glasses off and not being able to see anything, or maybe just giving up breathing entirely. […]
Wallets have been trending away from the fat and bulky leather design for a few years now and the trend is showing no sign of slowing down.

Zoom calls are so 2020. But no longer will we need to mask our deteriorating living environments with virtual backgrounds. No more shall we need to go “woah, is that actually what I look like?” when your webcam blazes to life and shows how you look at 9am in the morning after you got up […]

Few film genres have pushed the boundaries of what can be achieved on the big screen more than the science fiction genre. From Georges Méliès groundbreaking Le Voyage dans la Lune (A Trip To the Moon) all the way back in 1902, to Stanley Kubrick’s iconic 2001: A Space Odyssey to Christopher Nolan’s stunning Interstellar, it’s clear that we have always had a real […]
At the risk of generalising, I think it’s fair to suggest that tradies aren’t typically known for showing up to work in the most expensive threads. I’m not sure exactly how much your standard hi-vis sets you back, but I can’t imagine it’s much more than a few bucks. However, few have asked the question; is there a market for the secretly fashionable tradie who wants to flex on all his co-workers […]
It feels like we’re in a golden age for camping right now. Creative people all of the world seem to be constantly looking for ways to adapt the once mundane ‘pitch a tent and whip out the gas cooker’ camping experience into something special and unique.

Thus ends a wild six-weeks of Southern Hemisphere rugby.

Regardless, the turbulent six rounds of action has left us with plenty to […]
Whisky is a classy beverage and it is often the case that the older the bottle, the higher it rises in price. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that the world’s oldest known bottle in existence would cost an absolute fortune. The Old Ingledew Whiskey is so old that there is […]
While we don’t exactly have the gaudy budgets of many of our international contemporaries, every now and again, a great Kiwi show comes along that is a genuine gem. Unfortunately, like shooting stars, shows like this seem destined not to be around in our lives for long enough, and they eventually meet their end as interest wanes or the people involved move […]
Usually when airbags are catching your eye, they’re normally catching the rest of your rag-dolling body as well. Now US-American designer and creative director Heron Preston is pushing the limits of innovation and sustainability in fashion design to great effect.

For anyone who hasn’t bought a takeaway in weeks because they’re furiously saving cash for their next big Europe trip, we might have found an option that lets you have both!

Throughout August, America finally pulled out of Afghanistan, with it all the safeguards they thought they had put in place crumbled into dust. The Afghan Army, after years of training, dissolved. The President, Ashraf Ghani, fled the country, and Trump pretended like he had nothing to do with the whole thing. Everyone abandoned Afghanistan, and […]
While the first thing that comes to mind when you think about finding uses for a ‘jetpack’ might involve something like a James Bond-like figure chasing down a criminal mastermind through the streets of a European urban centre. Endless pop culture examples have embedded this into our brains, however, the possibilities extend far beyond just […]
Despite most of the headlines this year chronicling its groundbreaking foray into the commercial space travel industry, Virgin has been up to far more than just shooting its eccentric billionaire owner into outer space.

He’s never been the most popular figure amongst fans, the media and even occasionally his peers, but no one can deny that Novak Djokovic is one of the greatest players to ever pick up a tennis racket.

Kanye West is one of the world’s true enigmas.

The hype for No Way Home has been building for a while off the back of the news that cast members from the previous Sony released entries of Spider-Man would be making a reappearance.

Our review of the Acer Swift 3 dropped recently. We thought it was a solid, sleek notebook for everyday work use. You can read it here. But what does the rest of the internet think? We’ve consulted the real-life users of the Acer Swift 3 on Google to get the inside scoop. The Swift 3 […]
Last week we covered the first strike in the ‘Billionaire Space Race’, as Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic took flight and broke new ground in making him the first person to ever enter space aboard their own spacecraft and signaled ‘all systems go’ on his commercial space tourism operation. Rival billionaire Jeff Bezos was (relatively) gracious in his praise for Branson accomplishment, likely comforted […]

As Kiwis, we pride ourselves as being a country where pretty much nothing ever happens.

The EIU has released its latest report covering the safest […]
While M2 abstains from pinning its colours on any one rugby team, we’ve been a fan of Sergios for years now, and it turns out they’re fans of the Crusaders. As sponsors of the Crusaders, they’ve provided the players and managers with their Number Ones – more practical gear for the players, and suits for […]
Regardless of the specifics of the setup, wine cellars are always a pretty huge flex. I mean, for starters, you have to actually own enough wine to fill up a respectable portion of the wall space. Then you have to have a property big enough to where you can afford to surrender an entire room and devote that space solely to housing a collection of inanimate objects which aren’t exactly essential to […]
Since 1983, private investment firm Allen & Company has hosted the world’s elites for a secret weekend of hobnobbing and deal brokering.

No press releases or […]
Imagine getting to ride on Snowpiercer without the fear of a peasant uprising forcing you to come face-to-face with the sharp end of an axe-shaped class struggle.

Steam’s much rumored handheld is now an official reality, and its specs are insane.

Prices start at […]
The keen-eyed amongst you may have noticed a slight difference in recent months whilst walking about the office and on the streets of our towns and cities: A discernible easier gait from your fellow co-workers over to the printer and a wonderfully smooth jog across the street by that shop assistant dodging the plethora of […]
TAG Heuer has forged a new alliance with another luxury brand. Ha, kidding, it’s Mario. Although with the way the news is going these days, maybe I should eat my words. Recently, an unopened copy of Super Mario 64 from 1996 sold for NZ$2.24 million at auction. The TAG Heuer Connected x Super Mario Limited […]
