New Photographs with Nao
The University organized a new photoshoot with me and the robots. Watch out for the new TV commercial for UC on Sunday. The videos might be up on Monday as well on the UC home page.
Reunion 10 released
Leister Pro has released Reunion 10 for the Mac. It is my favorite genealogy software. They put so much effort into every detail and the quality of their work is amazing. Yes, some other genealogy software might be a bit flashier, but Reunion draws me back in with its quality and ease of use. I highly recommend it.
Family Tree
I uploaded a new family tree that documents the results of my book “The Family History And Genealogy of Johann Ferdinand Thöne and Maria Anna Juliana Antonette Drewes“.
Another Merger
The NZ government declared that they want to merge three ministries, including Science and Innovation (MSI), into one super ministry. The last merger for MSI took more than a year to implement and during that time no funding proposals were accepted. I truly hope that this merger will not set research grants back by another year.
