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.

Please Forgive Me, For I Am An Eco-Sinner.

Posted by kiwinewt on 3 March, 2010

Mostly paraphrased from: http://www.thegoodhuman.com/2010/03/02/please-forgive-me-for-i-am-an-eco-sinner/ I really wanted to share this as it touches where I see myself and my family in terms of our greenness. No-one is 100% eco-friendly in this modern world. We all consume, we all are a part of the global economy, and as a geek family we all use our computers, [...]

Life Update

Posted by kiwinewt on 16 February, 2010

So, you may have noticed (if you do) that I kinda failed on my Project365. It’s because I ended up having a couple of grumpy days that I didn’t want to remember, with lots of MrGrumpyNate. Thankfully I got over these, but haven’t had the time, energy or enthusiasm to get back into taking photos. [...]

DesignLine Buses in New York

Posted by kiwinewt on 21 January, 2010

Anyone recognise these buses? Yup it’s the same (well, a newer model) of the Christchurch shuttle buses – from the founded-in-NZ company DesignLine. They are turbine hybrid buses and the New York bus fleet is taking them on. Hopefully they will take off and swap out the whole fleet! Source: NY Times

Renewable Energy Experiment Kit For Kids

Natural Wood Raised Garden

Posted by kiwinewt on 4 January, 2010

I think that this is one of the better instructables I have seen lately. I think that this is a really awesome way of utilizing branches that come out of the garden but would otherwise take a couple of years to rot down. This is definately something that I will build once we get our [...]
