iPhone2 New Zealand Release
Rod notes that Apple has included New Zealand in the release schedule for the iPhone2.
I wonder if anyone told Vodafone that they’re supposed to be in stock too.
UPDATE: Better late than never…

Food for Thought
For those of you with kids, here’s a scenario that you may or may not have thought of:
If you’re anything like me you’ve introduced your son/daughter to technology as soon as they’re able to grab something without sticking it into their mouths. You’ve bought them a little notebook mouse to fit their hand, and taught [...]
Wellington Author Wins NZ Post Book Award
Big congratulations go to my dear friend Ruth Paul.
Ruth won the Children’s Choice Award for her illustrated book The King’s Bubbles (of which I have two copies - one for good, and the other for reading, and reading, and reading…).
I love Ruth’s artwork, and am proud to say I have one of her illustrations hanging [...]
Good Design by Design
People can sometimes go on a little about their particular technology fetish. Be it Apple, Blackberry, Palm, Windows, its nice to see some passion out there.
One thing is always sure to sell though, and that is well considered design. I’ve posted briefly about this before (http://moses.net.nz/2007/12/20/everything-coming-up-apples/) when I got my Mac. Here’s a short follow [...]
PMP Qualification (Bill Moses PMP)
The second (and last I promise) in my series of shameless self-promotion; I just can’t go by without mentioning that I passed my PMP exam and am now a qualified Project Manager.
Many PMs that I know don’t put much emphasis on the PMBOK saying that its over-engineered and in some cases pointless. In a [...]
Graduation
I had the great pleasure of graduating from Victoria University on the 15th. I love marching through town (my 3rd time) and wearing the academic gowns. Some may find it a little self-gratuitous, but if you spend 4 years of night lectures and assignments whilst working full-time you may want to as well.
Congratulations to VUW [...]
Email Auto-Responses
You send off an email to the customer services division of the company you’ve just bought an expensive dongle from. The product isn’t working as advertised, but you’re certain that the company can fix it via updates or advice.
They’ve conveniently left a nice big link on their website inviting feedback or support queries; something like [...]
New Blackberry Announced
If you’ve read my blog you’ll know that I’m a Palm user with a possible hankering for an iPhone.
RIM’s recent announcement could open me up to the world of the Blackberry however.
Is it just me, or does the Bold look like a cross between the Centro and iPhone??
McDonalds - From Fast Food to Faster Customers
I love seeing organisations embrace technology, I really do. The first time I saw a waiter use a handheld device to take my order and have it transmitted wirelessly to the kitchen, I smiled.
McDonalds has been using Windows Mobile devices for a while now with wireless connectivity. Staff run down the long lines, [...]
Documents with Style
I’ve spent a great many hours this week reviewing documents for the project that I’m managing. Whilst I understand the technology and the way all the various components of our application fit together, I don’t profess to fully understand the content; that’s not my job.
In a nutshell I need to make sure that anything that [...]
