42Below Cocktail World Cup in Wellington this year
- The Wellingtonista
- We'd been wondering for a while where our other favourite McKenzie brother has been at because we haven't seen him behind the bar at Hooch or Hawthorn for ages, but of course we kept forgetting to ask, because naturally we were too busy asking for another drink.

I for one welcome our new mirrorball overlords
- The Wellingtonista
- Te Papa's forecourt may look as if it's under attack by giant glittery space balls, but it's actually the start of a two-year kinetic sculpture installation called "The Mimetic Brotherhood", by Peter Trevelyan. There's not much kinesis evident at the moment, but once the installation is complete, expect the plinth-eating monsters to start pulsating in their full hydraulic glory.

- The photo above is of Designline trolley bus 363 about to enter the Mt Victoria Tunnel en route to Miramar, Route 2. Of course, there are no trolley wires through the Mt Vic tunnel. Route 2 runs through the wired Hataitai bus-only tunnel.

- Eye of the Fish
- Last week, was of course, the unveiling of the iPad, Apple’s biennale Next Big Thing. However, on a more local note, last week also featured another product launch: the iLoft, or 85 Waterloo Quay. Normally a property development isn’t pitched as a ‘product’, but in this case the cue comes straight from the developers themselves.
