$#*! my daughter says…
The main topic of conversation around the ‘water cooler’ today has been children, and more specifically the ones in the larval stage or ‘babies’. One of our valued Cristchurch creative team members, Liz, leaves us today on maternity leave. She will be very much missed in the Christchurch office and we wish her all the [...]

time(zone)s are changing
The pacific island of Samoa is about to do some time travel. Samoa currently sits just the other side of the international dateline from New Zealand. In fact they are only about 20 miles west of the date line, putting them a full 24 hours behind us. Here, at TimeZoneOne, we know all about using [...]

creating something out of nothing
In my last post, I wrote about comedy being one of the purest forms of creativity. Another area where I think creativity can be found in its purest state is Hip Hop. At first glance, Hip Hop may appear to be little more than remixed beats and cliched ‘gangsta’ rhetoric. Admittedly, there’s a lot of [...]

stand-up comedy and scamps
I believe that there is nothing more creative than a good gag. Comedy is filled with so many nuiances and intricacies, it’s impossible to define what is funny and what isn’t. It requires in-depth observation. What is funny depends on the time, the place, the audience, the person telling the joke, social status, ethnicity, occupation, [...]

World Naked Bike Riding
I just saw something yesterday online about mass naked bike riding in Portland. I thought it was a new thing, but turns out lots of cities have been representing and becoming part of World Naked Bike Ride. 70 cities participate and 20 countries. How did this phenomenon pass me by until now I wonder? The [...]

Pawfect Match!
Thanks to a little kiwi ingenuity you can now find the perfect pooch for you. Using facial recognition software (although not sure how accurate), you can upload a photo of yourself or use your webcam to snap a quick pic. The site will then match your features to the dog the best looks like you. [...]

You really make me wanna shout…
Just like many others living in Christchurch, I’ve been feeling a little tense recently. Everyone is a bit on edge and nothing sounds better than ‘a good night’s sleep’. However, that is harder to come by than you’d think. And if the natural forces are not enough to keep you up all night, there are [...]

“It’s Marilyn, the creep from down the hall!”
What do James Brown, BMW, Marilyn Manson and Gary Oldman have in common? I give you a couple of clues: BMW Z4, drag race, Las Vegas … I love this short film for many reason, none of which i can really explain. It’s just kinda cool if you ask me. Share

Everyone loves a bit of Daft Punk.
Who said classical instruments and modern tunes don’t go together??????? I’ve come across this awesome video which totally made my day. A couple months ago the Trinity Orchestra, the only fully student run orchestra in Ireland, played Daft Punk’s album ‘Discovery’ in it’s entirety. Sadly, they haven’t posted that yet, but they have posted a [...]

Every now and again a legend is born… Don Bradman, Michael Jordan, Me. And then there are superhumans like William Shatner who cross generational gaps and touch everybody with their unique talent. Old Bill, has been a TV and movie star, author, poet, musician and I’m sure somewhere along the way he has dabbled in [...]
