Kiwi tech leader bombs

Auckland man Ben Gracewood has now raised more than $12,000 for Women's Refuge with his series of daily "lockdown bombs."

The tech industry leader is taking dive requests from those who donate to his Givealittle page - then filming himself as he jumps into his un-heated swimming pool with dive techniques that have included the Super Man Bomb, the Formal Friday Bomb and the Moutain Bike Bomb.

Gracewood says he'll do anything - unless it involved nudity - for those who donate $50 or higher.

But wait, there's more

By now you'll be used to a seemingly endless flurry of work-from-home tips and remote-working wellness advice.

It's all useful and well-meant, but halfway through the lockdown, you might just be getting the teeniest bit over it.

If so, Gracewood has the tonic.

The Westie, who works as chief engineering officer at point-of-sale software company Vend, has put together a Wellness Wednesday parody video - complete with a soaring soundtrack.

Take it away, Ben:

I've been invited to do a Wellness Wednesday session @vendhq to help people look after themselves in these trying times. Here's a quick intro video I put together to get people hyped up (turn the sound on). pic.twitter.com/N0lew5VP6l
