The Taua Assemble | The New Zealand Wars in Miniature
https://nzwars.wordpress.com/2013/01/19/the-taua-assemble
The New Zealand Wars in Miniature. Wargaming the wars of New Zealand from the Inter-Iwi wars to the Land Wars of the 1860s. January 19, 2013. For some time now I have been intermittently working on painting a number of Maori miniatures for use on the wargames table. The project was from the start based around the De Bellis Renationis (DBR) wargame rules which I felt could be easily be developed to cover the inter-iwi of the early 19th Century as well as the earlier pre-contact period. The Journal of the ...

Reading the Maps: March 2005
http://readingthemaps.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 24, 2005. I'm hoping to check it out. On Saturday or Sunday. Posted by maps at 3/24/2005 04:26:00 pm. Links to this post. The smelliest sneakers in America, etc. We've just dumped Internet Explorer for Netscape, in an effort to give some sort of virus the slip (this computer stuff goes right over my head), and are taking full advantage of the latter's awesome pop-up news service. Here's today's Netscape News headliner: Vermont Boy's Sneakers Named Smelliest In America. Links to this post.

Reading the Maps: A Rough Guide to Anti-travel
http://readingthemaps.blogspot.com/2008/05/ripping-off-brands-rough-guide-to-anti.html
Saturday, May 17, 2008. A Rough Guide to Anti-travel. Last Thursday I gave a guest lecture up at the Albany campus of Massey University. I'd been invited north by Jack Ross. Who had included my blog post 'From Kalmykia to Huntly'. In the coursebook of a paper he teaches on travel writing. My post had discussed 'anti-travel' writing, which I had assumed to be a thriving literary sub-genre. Jack and several other friends have started using the term, and Titus Books. I suppose, then, that I am making a virt...

With the wind sti...

Harmen Hielkema's Canoes of Oceania. My stories and experiences about my life with the canoes Takapu, Toroa and Lookfar. Monday, 2 March 2015. When is a canoe not a canoe? My latest project has been the restoration of a little 10 foot replica of a New Zealand made 19th. Century dinghy known locally as an Okura Gig. This GRP hull was made during the 1980's by Dinghy Development in Auckland. It was hand laid in a two piece mould. The poor condition of this dinghy is clear to see. Links to this post. The di...
