I've been online for a long time. Since 1995 if you wanted to deal with numbers. During that time I used mosaic, became addicted to IRC, was one of the first people in NZ to have an online journal, have ridden many trends and am most proud of the community that I've built up around www.wellingtonista.com.
If it's happened online in New Zealand, I've probably had an opinion on it. What makes me stand out is my lack of geekery, and my self-confidence to talk about my experiences as an end-user.
