One in the chamber
Due to travelling, I am going to miss Thursday 11th. I leave on Wednesday night, and land on Friday morning. For someone trying to keep a few streaks going – you’re reading one of them – and I’m slightly worried if they would reset. Missing a day isn’t the issue, but there is something very…

Take off
I’m off. Tonight I am flying back to Australia for two weeks to attend one of my best friend’s weddings. I genuinely can’t wait, although it is going to be FULL NOISE when I touch down. Thankfully, I’ve got the exit aisle, a true blessing. See y’all soon.

Prepared for the panel
My wife spoke at an New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) panel discussion today. Alongside her was Jared Polis, the current Governor of Colorado, Judith “Crusher” Collins, senior cabinet member of the New Zealand National Party and former party leader, the head of the Denver Development & Economic org, and the Country Manager for Xero,…

Dark side of the moon
Today was Solar Eclipse Day. Unfortunately, in Denver it was only partial (~70%) eclipse day, but still, it was super cool. I thought I’d share a few notes from this historic day. Many of you have probably already seen this image, which tracks the percentage of AirBnbs that are occupied. As you can see, it…

Windy City
The world is full of diverse views, and it always amazes me what people like, even when it comes to weather. Some people, and I think they’re mad, love humid weather. Others, like my old housemate, thought the moody grey skies of northern Scotland the Platonic ideal. But whatever people like, the exception seems to…

End of a era, or at least season
Today my wife and I returned our skis. It was a hell of a deal, and the convenience of having your own skis for a whole season was terrific, but there was still an element of sadness returning the sticks over. The season isn’t entirely over, but for us, it is. Let’s spin the highlight…

Delivering the goods
This week I had two main projects, build and deploy a machine learning algorithm that calculates the expected Series A valuation of a founder, based on their past experience, as well as a video demo of the product I am working on. My skills and experiences in both fields is limited, and the due date…

The Hot Seat
I have been meaning to write this post for a while, or at least since Sunday, where I watched the replay of the Boat Race on TV. Spoiler Alert: Oxford, despite being favourites in both the men’s AND women’s, lost to the Tabs. This piece is going to be less about the race, but more…

Suno
I know, a single day doesn’t go by when you don’t hear a “there is an AI for that”. Some of these new tools are gimmicks, some are incredibly useful, and most are somewhere in between. I wanted to share Suno, an on-demand song creator. Chat-GPT has been able to make lyrics to some time,…

Extending
As the weather warms up, I’ve decided to get more into running. My wife bought me some new runners last month, and it’s been good to get out of the house and get some steps in. Usually I go for about 5kms, but today, I decided to crank it up a notch and go for…
