I, Kiwinewt, am a TechnoHippy.

Technohippies are a breed of their own. They are not malicious, but only interested in the way things work. They have a broad wisdom of many different technologies. Ignorance and hatred is looked down upon by the technohippy. The technohippy embraces the environment and will do as much as they can to protect it and help it flourish. All in all, a technohippy is a philosophically-open eccentric geek.

Project Anyone?

Posted by kiwinewt on 21 June, 2008

OK. I have access to a dead iMac G3. I also have the guts of a Celeron 1.7 and a copy of OS X86. Does anyone want to donate a 15″ LCD to the cause?
If I don’t get one then the iMac will head off to MoltenMedia and get recycled (one less Mac in the [...]

I dont know…

Posted by kiwinewt on 19 June, 2008

… if I should be sharing this, but:
“You have made it to the next stage with Outward Bound, well done, now I will let you know if there is to be a short interview”
If there is an interview/etc and I get through or not, I will update everyone. Until then, feel free to gaze [...]

Greenhouse

Posted by kiwinewt on 12 June, 2008

As promised, photos of my new greenhouse. Constructed of a bamboo cane frame tired with twist ties (the kind that used to be on bread bags) with a spot of glue to hold them sturdier. Over top of this i put bubble wrap (woo free second hand stuff) tied on with cable ties and nailed [...]

WoW

Posted by kiwinewt on 4 June, 2008

Why is it that World of Warcraft has no “piss off I just want to run around not get the sh*t beaten out of me” mode?
I know its all about the quests and defeating the evil (insert choice of horde/alliance here) and everything, but what if I’m in a foul mood and just dont want [...]

New Garden

Posted by kiwinewt on 1 June, 2008

Right. So this is something I should actually have posted a few days ago, but since I forgot to grab the camera back from Taz and *insert excuse of your choosing here*I didnt. Therefore, here are the first pictures of my pretty new garden
It only cost about $50 total – $40 for the [...]
