Mike in all his Flickr glory

I am a cloud computing and online collaboration specialist based in Wellington, New Zealand

Mike Riversdale, a man for all seasons but certainly not a man of mystery living his electronic life on-line since 2002 generating a large on-line presence.

Mike (aka Miramar Mike) has been working in, with and against IT Departments from all types of organisations in all parts of the world for nearly 20 years as he follows his passion of connecting people to people with usable information, clear communication and on-line collaboration.

With his professional presence, MiramarMike.co.nz and wider company, WaveAdept, he concentrates on helping large organisations collaborate, smaller companies manage their information and SMEs/charitable agencies use the Google Apps product set.

He has completely removed the need to pay money for software and instead spends it on web features. Catch his latest news at his professional blog, his company blog, the scatalogical personal blog or any of his social networking sites where he'll be your "friend", just ask.
