My family and I took many camping tours of New Zealand. We usually tented. A hurricane or other special occasion might warrant a cabin or maybe a friend’s caravan.

Before the De Lorean DMC 12 there was the Hyundai Pony Coupe concept car and a small Korean car manufacturer with a dream. Hyundai was just getting off the ground and unfortunately for them there wasn’t a lot in the way of Korean car designers at the time. So they turned to the Italian […]
What has it meant for you to portray the lead character of J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan’s new movie, surrounded by such an extraordinary cast? It’s a dream, really. I never imagined to be working with all these actors in one movie. I think it’s one of the greatest modern ensembles that Christopher […]
All the way back in 2017 at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in Midtown Manhattan, the packed-out Saturday Night Live audience erupted into applause.

We might like to think of the concept of disruption as a relatively recent Silicon Valley-type affair but of course, history is punctuated by ingenious innovation since the dawn of humanity. Amazing discoveries and leftfield ideas that go on to change an industry or sector or just life in general. You know, things like […]
Good friends are hard to find but Anna Mulvaney and Tom Fleetwood have one who is right up there in the mates’ stakes. Not only did she put them in contact with the owners of their first house in Auckland (a villa they bought through private sale) but when she knew they were looking to […]
“If something is important enough, or you believe something is important enough, even if you are scared, you will keep going.” – Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, Motors and SpaceX “As a founder, lay all the possible scenarios – from best to worst – in front of you, so you don’t get surprised when something […]
Transition is moving from one situation or state to another. Consider growing up as a series of constant transitions, moving us from one stage of mastery to another. When we are young we appear to do it naturally, maybe our desire to be a grown up and be independent, free and to become our own […]
Stay Sober with Beer Chilling with friends recently and being a newish dad who doesn’t particularly enjoy the idea of being any kind of hammered has left me in an odd spot with beverage choices. There’s all the fizzy drinks money can buy, sure, but sometimes it’s nice to have something a bit more mellow […]
Drive-Away Dolls The Cohen Brother’s are doing their own things now, which means double the fun… and a lesbian trilogy of goofy B movies?

As I write this an email just came through informing me that The Dry 2 has been delayed indefinitely until all the talent can promote the movie properly.

Starfield Xbox Series X and Series S, PC Somehow this feels like the first big expansive Bethesda RPG worth talking about since Skyrim in 2011.
