Mikes death hitting me today while trying to organise my community digital survey for launch this week. Whanganui has really lost a good one. If you’ve got the privilege then we all gotta fight for digital equity.

⁦@GovHackNZ⁩ I only met Mike Price in when I started my job in May but he left a massive impression on me and a big hole in our community. Despite what he was going through, he came and did code clubs with me in Whanganui East, inspiring til the end! https://t.co/lPgDjk8D90

I'm trying to do a community survey to get a baseline of digital connectivity and inclusion in Whanganui as feeling pretty blind here. Anyone out there who'd like to test my current thinking on questions and provide feedback? #letsgetdigitalwhanganui #digitalinclusion

[Jo @wdc_jo]

@FlyAirNZ I got mugged in Paris incl. my phone, €20 to get to my then home London. I asked a woman on the Eurostar to use her phone to text my friend to say I was on. During the trip she went to get some food, bought me a muffin & gave all her £ coins to make sure I got home safely 🥰

When I was young you had to be quiet in the library, today I had kids running around ours on an emoji scavenger hunt learning about AI. My fav was the boy who ran screaming into the kitchen “I need coffee!” ☕️ #futureofwork #aiforkids
