There was an exhibit of Banksy in town. I love his stuff. No idea if this was “sanctioned” or not, I suspect not but it’s hard to know. Anyway, it was very cool seeing a bunch of his stuff in one place. I particularly liked some of the quotes, including:
To not realise you have power is the first step to losing it
My colleague Janet (our principle engineer) was in town visiting. She stayed at ours for a week, we did some walks, went to Banksy, played a bunch of games (she loves games). We played wingspan a couple of times. She won with the best score I’ve ever seen (on her second play!). Probably a reason she’s the principle engineer and worked at Facebook (and many other places) as an engineer. We also went to Hinewai Reserve which is this lovely spot where the guy just basically bought a bunch of land and just let it regenerate (i.e. just left it alone!). It’s lovely now and free to visit. There’s a video here if you want to learn more.
