Tomorrow I am going to Electric Avenue again. I went to the first one 10 years ago but had to leave early because my festival buddy needed to go home and sleep.

So unbeknownst to me my iPhone 6s is now so old it’s no longer supported and I can’t update iOS. Some apps won’t work anymore so I’m going to have to upgrade to a new (refurbished) one. Any suggestions for what model I should go for (under $400). Man, I will miss my earphone jack…

If you're in Ōtautahi then head along to Cashel Mall and check out the many tiny artworks available for purchase there until Sunday. For a paltry $5 donation you can own a Moata Tamaira semi-original work. All funds go to Ōtautahi Creative Spaces. otautahicreativespaces.org.nz

Well, well, well, according to this OIA I just got back from Goldsmith, Roger Partridge, chair of the NZ Initiative (a member of the ATLAS network), suggested Dr Derby to Goldsmith. Nothing is wrong with this technically, but interestingly, she wasn't put forward earlier in the process.
