Dunedin

Taking advantage of time available I have gone to Dunedin.

Dropped in on Warwick at his bookshop

Took a picture of Petes part of town.

Then some ancient mosaic work

Then a bit of museum visiting. I have always loved the look of these.

And there was a bit more contemporary stuff there too

And eventually the rain came to mess with the great view from Steve and Lynns place

Looking back at tech and maker stuff

While travelling around in Europe I noticed the “Maker” culture and Tech shops.

In Amsterdam there was a 3D print business selling toothbrush holders.

And in Berlin a Maker Store http://www.maker-store.de that was sselling Arduinos and running training courses.

In Zurich I went and talked to the people at http://www.my3dworld.ch  who had been in the 3D printing business for 3 years or so, printing, selling printers, training and prototyping for people.

They had aluminium and steel printing technology too.

It is interesting to see what larger populations allow.

Save

Milan – Rome

Morning view from the apartment, around to the right there were a couple soldiers, I guess keeping the local Synagogue safe.

Got on the Metro and headed towards town

And found some impressive building

Cool mall

And looking through windows

Then did what I bought us here for

And wandered home, passing street art along the way

The today train to Rome, with Crappy train Window photography of Tuscany

And now we are there

Yes really

Up this street
