Couldn't go past this seminal occasion - got up at 5am to watch the proceedings! I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing, especially the speech!!

- Nau mai ra ki te TAU HOU 2009 -

Ano ra ki a tatou katoa.
kua heke ke te tau o 2008 ki te muri,
tahuri atu te kanohi ki te tau hou!
Tenei hoki taku e mihi atu ki a koutou katoa !!

New Year's Eve in Dunedin, Aotearoa New Zealand

I have plans for 2009 & those plans include graduating with my PhD
There is lots to do to achieve that result:

- Fieldwork next month (Feb) which entails 'mapping' oral traditions (3-5months)
- Write up my experience into a Chapter: - best practice / best techniques / methodology / the 'How to. . . '
- Complete all my maps
- Populate & Organise my DataBase
- Complete writing / editing my other chapters
- Organise all chapters into a cohesive unit
- Produce my FIRST DRAFT
- Attend the Indigenous Mapping Network Conference in June, Wisconsin
- Help organise a GIS conference for Maori Users (around April)

I think that's it in a nutshell!!
