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.

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.
Why?
Because [...]

First trip to the library in a long time today. See if you can guess by the book titles what my current interests are…
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 [...]

Project 365

Posted by kiwinewt on 21 November, 2009

I have now mentally committed myself to Project365 – take a photo a day for a whole year. I think that the coming year is going to be really interesting and filled with a few interesting events – the birth of my first child, the hopeful quitting of my job and working for myself, etcetera [...]

Progress

Posted by kiwinewt on 28 June, 2009

So I’ve been a bit busy of late with my layout. Slowly but surely getting it setup and ready to go:
(Warning: Lots of pics. Small ones, but still lots.)

Current Garden Layout

Posted by kiwinewt on 4 June, 2009

Silly little diagram of the garden how it is at the moment. Not to scale
Brown = vege beds
Yellow-brown = brick bed. currently with borage and weeds….
Red = compost bin
Blue = shed
Green = tree
Grey pentagram = Washing Line
Grey = path
Pink = herb/little bed
So much I would love to do to this if the house was ours…

Garlic

Posted by kiwinewt on 2 June, 2009

I know it’s not the shortest day yet, but this has just gone in to the garden

And after it’s planted and covered with leaves for warmth (the tomatoes are long gone now)
