amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016Well, who’d have thought it? We had sun today! Not only that, but sun is predicted for tomorrow and Friday! I am shocked.

Today I begin by talking about why the weather’s been so bad, and how it recently unveiled a new problem I have to deal with. That moved me into related topics, including my organising system, which I’ll come back to next month. Finally, a bit of fun to end the episode.

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016Today is about a plan I designed to help me keep on track. It’s based on a system I designed for myself when I was a grassroots LGBTQ+ activist 30 years ago. I’m optimistic it’ll help me stay focused and remember things, but… well, time will tell.

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016The weather has been shocking lately, and that’s interrupted my outside projects. I begin today’s episode talking about that, and a bit about the background to all the outside work. Then I move on to a completed project—yes, it happens sometimes. Even I’m surprised. After that, it’s a couple bits in the New Zealand news.

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016I begin this episode with an overview of New Zealand’s recent local government elections: What message do the voters send? What does it imply for the general election next year? I’ve done a mini-series of posts on my blog (links below) if you’re interested in more detail. The stuff I talk about in this episode leads on to a brief discussion of some fringe political activity.

Then I talk about some of the mini-projects I did recently.
