Turf Geography

Posted on August 9, 2012 by Luigi Cappel

See on Scoop.it – Location Is Everywhere

Hve you tried it? They say Turf is an amazingly great free-to-play location based social game. It’s foursquare plus a monopoly-like experience. Hit snooze, there’s more…

  • Petrol Tax Increase and Solar Power Feed-in Tariffs May 23, 2013
    It’s election year next year and the National Government has announced petrol tax increases to start in July this year. Now I don’t have a problem in principle with user pays, although after the report by the Ministry of Transport earlier this year, it doesn’t look like things are going to improve, in fact we […]

  • We Will Remember Them – Our ANZAC Soldiers April 24, 2013
    We are not a militaristic nation, we Kiwis. However we have a proud fighting tradition, standing up for democracy and human rights all over the world. We lost many men and women in the World Wars and on many other fronts such as Viet Nam and Korea. Once a year on ANZAC Day, we remember them […]

  • The Idea Factory April 19, 2013
    When and where are the best places to get ideas, or refine them so that you can act on them? For me it is in the shower. Like you, I am a very busy person, I have multiple business interests and time to focus on the big picture is often hard to find. I have […]

  • A Good Read About Retail Book Stores and Glenfield Paper Plus April 19, 2013
    I was pleasantly surprised with some great service from Paper Plus in Glenfield this week and want to share the experience with you. Many book retailers complain that they can’t compete with online stores. Some like Borders might even see the fatalities as a  fait accomplis. I don’t agree. So here’s what happened. I got an email from my daughter saying that […]

  • What is a Blog and How do I Get One? April 2, 2013
    Everyone is talking about writing blogs. In the world of IT and in large companies, people are writing online. It might be newsletters, articles, pages on websites and of course social media. That’s all very well for people that like writing and can do it well, but what about busy people working in their SME […]

  • Michael Q Todd is a Social Media Expert March 25, 2013
    The world is full of self proclaimed social media experts, many of them legends in their own minds. Every once in a while you come across someone who not only really does understand how it all works, but one that practices what they preach.  One such person is Michael Q Todd. I had the pleasure last week […]

  • Why is Telecom Making 1500 staff Redundant? March 23, 2013
    Telecom is once again making a large number of staff redundant. According to Labour ICT spokesperson Clare Curran up to 1,500 people will lose their jobs. This is the result of a planned restructure, although Telecom is not prepared to confirm the numbers. My question is how did Telecom get to a position where they […]

  • On Ray Kurzweil and Thinking March 14, 2013
    I was reading a current article by Ray Kurzweil in this month’s edition of The Futurist and it got me to thinking a little. Here are a few random synapse connections from me. He talked about how the digital neocortex will be be much faster than my wet-ware and that the roughly 300 million pattern recognisers in […]

  • Google Glasses Separation Syndrome March 13, 2013
    Reblogged from The Future Diaries: Google Glasses and dozens of other brands of Augmented Reality goggles hit the road running for Christmas 2013 and over the next couple of years AR applications went from Wow to business as usual. Today people look at you sideways in many cities if you aren't wearing glasses. But there […]

  • I’m Tired Of You Amex March 7, 2013
    At a quarter past 5 this morning, my phone started vibrating on my bedside cabinet. My wife stirred next to me, asking “What’s that?” At that time in the morning, in the middle of a REM state, your mind starts racing, your heart starts pumping and you’re thinking someone in your family is hurt, sick, […]
