What a year it has been! I can’t believe it has passed so quickly. Having just returned from attending the Premiere of the Commodore Story documentary in London I’ve just booked my flights to attend the Amiga Ireland 2018 Event in January. It’s a hard life being an Amigan but as the saying goes, “someones… Continue reading What a story!

I’m not talking about two back-to-back baseball games but the upcoming AmiWest 2017 and Amiga32 shows which I will be attending this month in Sacramento, California and Neuss, Germany. I’m pleased to say that, once again A-EON Technology is a major sponsor of both Amiga shows. I leave the shores of New Zealand on Wednesday evening… Continue reading A Doubleheader

Well AmiParty 21 in Poland lived up to all my expectations and then some. 🙂 The hospitality and warmth shown by Jeanot and the rest of the Chelm Amiga Legion team to David Pleasance, Amiga Bill and me was second to none. The strong Polish beer and aromatic home made vodka, known as Stalin’s Tears,… Continue reading Stalin’s Tears

First of all apologies for the relative silence. I started writing this update in late April while I was sitting in an airport lounge waiting for a flight to take me to another Amiga show. To be exact, the VCF SE 5.0 in Roswell, Georgia which is not only an Amiga show but celebrates the… Continue reading To be this good?

Recently I attended an informal talk by Dutch futurist Yuri Van Geest, the co-author of Exponential Organizations and Dutch Ambassador of the Singularity University. He talked about the disruptive impact that emerging technology and innovation would have on businesses and future job prospects. He claimed the key technological drivers of the “fourth industrial revolution”, quantum… Continue reading Quantum Leap

It’s already mid February and so much is happening in our Amiga world. I’ve just returned from a whistle-stop Amiga focused business trip to London, Cardiff, Brussels and Dublin. While I was in Belgium, thanks to Timothy de Groote the Managing Director of Hyperion Entertainment, I saw the Tabor board booting a beta version of… Continue reading Metamorphosis

Apologies for misquoting the lyrics to the famous Irish song but I started writing this blog in an airline lounge as I waiting for my flight to Auckland and onward to England via Los Angeles. For some strange reason I’m leaving the warmth of a Southern hemisphere New Zealand summer for the frozen winter in Europe. 😉… Continue reading When Amiga eyes are smiling!

As we are about to celebrate the start of a new year I thought I would quickly reflect on some of my experiences over the past 12 months. In many respects 2016 has been an excellent year for the Amiga community with the one exception being the sad passing of Dave Needle, one of the… Continue reading Happy New Year from the land of the long white cloud

At this time of year with mid summer fast approaching in New Zealand my Northern hemisphere imprinted brain has a difficult time coming to terms with warm weather, sunshine and Christmas. Not that Wellington has been particularly seasonal in the past few weeks, with earthquakes, storms and flooding. Still the calendar shows that today is… Continue reading Summer/Winter Greetings

I was going to entitle this blog “Showtime” to highlight the three Amiga shows I attended in the last 2 weeks but changed the title due to an incident while driving from San Francisco to Sacramento. Paul Sadlik, daytime architect and night-time beta tester extraordinaire, was driving me to Amiwest along with AmigaOS developer Tony… Continue reading Down the rabbit hole
