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.

All in all, a technohippy is a philosophically-open eccentric geek.

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.

This is freaking awesome! I got one of those crappy microscopes that let you see *SFA* when I was a kid. Wish I had one of these!
This Renewable Energy Experiment Kit has a wind turbine, solar cell, electrolytic cells, and a hand-operated dynamo which generate electricity that is stored [...]

Also, I am so into this Project365. Having the motivation to get the camera out and take a photo a day is good. It helps me to take a [...]
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 [...]
The photos are currently stuck on the camera – we are away visiting family and forgot the cable for it. *sigh*
Well.
Kiwinewt.Geek is no more. Well… as a blog it is no more. As a company it is now going strong.
I have decided to move my blog over to Technohippy.geek.nz because I thought it more suited where I am, where I want to be and how I am going to get there.
