@billbennettnz I read once that Paul McCartney woke up one day with the song Yesterday in his head. Which is sort of the same thing. Play on.

Chatted on @ninetonoon today about the Metaverse, or is that metaverses? A little correction on the book that inspired the term, proper title is Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. bit.ly/3DbCacm

With major health, water, RMA reforms on the Government’s agenda, is it time to consider a national digital twin? An interesting discussion at @TUANZCEO event this week. bit.ly/3iGKOrh

Would be good to see more data to back up rhetoric from tech sector but there are apparently over 500 NZ B2B SaaS exporting companies & I don’t think that’s unrelated.

Telco and IT skillsets continue to merge, as Spark's latest 5G rollout in partnership with Samsung, shows. bit.ly/3qNKojv

500+ SaaS companies is proof, once again that tech is key to a successful NZ economy, now and (especially) in the future.

@suzikyla23 Congrats- enjoy!

Did it. I own a house!!! Am sitting on my porch & feels like I’m outside a tramping hut. Plus I’m already wearing singlet & jandals #yesnorthland

LIVE AT 8pm (NZST) we cross LIVE to author and film-maker @barbara_sumner to discuss her new book Tree of Strangers. This book is sometimes sad, it’s wonderful, it’s often tragic, it’s intimate, it is brave. This book has a purpose. Legislative reform. eveningreport.nz/2020/09/23/liv…

National and Greens now have tech policies, will other parties follow suit?

It will be a tech opus

Also, followed up on scan by @paulbrislen of tech policies last week and cupboard still pretty bare.
