Business etiquette 101: don’t threaten lawsuits against a customer proposing an idea which you later adopt
- Jack Yan
- Interesting to spot this link. When I started Autocade in 2008, I approached Haymarket, letting them know I was a Classic and Sportscar reader since it began in the 1980s, and I was inspired by the Sedgwick guides that it ran then. Autocade was to be an online cyclopædia that would use a brief format, […]

A tribute to Lewis Collins: the top five reasons he was awesome
- Jack Yan
- A small tribute to actor Lewis Collins on his passing earlier this week (originally published in Lucire Men). 1. The cars The Triumph Dolomite Sprint Lewis Collins’ character, William Andrew Philip Bodie (he was a ‘regal-looking baby’) had in The Professionals had more power than Doyle’s TR7. And his Capris were far cooler. So cool […]

Facebook and Instagram have not only jumped the shark, but Richie Cunningham has left home
- Jack Yan
- Social networking is bound to change in 2014 as some of the main services out there have jumped the shark. You may say they jumped them ages ago, but the lack of innovation inside Facebook and its subsidiaries is beginning to hurt them. After having campaigned for six months for the Wellington mayoralty, […]

Kristmas knack
- The Wellingtonista
- There is only 40 days till christmas. See did i scare you? i scared myself looking up that one, but it’s also why I’m a little relieved that Kristmas knack is on this Saturday November 16th. Because it gives a girl a chance to go shopping for christmas presents, but it’s still far away enough from […] The post Kristmas knack appeared first on The Wellingtonista.

Coffee for John Key and America’s Cup fans
- The Wellingtonista
- Tonight we went to the opening of the Nespresso “boutique” on Lambton Quay, because frankly, we’d go to the opening of envelopes if they involved Louis Roederer champagne(1) (although a number of people we know turned down the invitation, sent us links to a Buzzfeed article about disposable pods and then commissioned haikus) and it was […] The post Coffee for John Key and America’s Cup fans appeared first on The Wellingtonista.

Absolutely Positively Wellington’s new logo: where’s the plus side?
- Jack Yan
- The below was written on the 4th inst., the morning of the release of Absolutely Positively Wellington’s “plus sign” logo, and ran on Scoop, where I am told it is one of the most liked for the Wellington section. As it is to do with branding, I have republished it in full here. (The parody […]

Explaining one of Dynamo’s card tricks, possibly
- Jack Yan
- An interesting video from our friends at ITN, featuring magician Dynamo, who releases the third season of his Magician Impossible series on DVD. Other than the sleight of hand, I’m guessing that there are two jacks with his signature, because he can duplicate that. The journalist is never given her own card to bite: […]

Let’s improve on the Wellington logo
- Jack Yan
- The city’s new logo—it is not a rebrand if the underlying tenets are the same—has not met with much support. The next question must be: all right, if we’re all so smart, can we do better? Ian Apperley and I think we can. Ian approached me yesterday morning to ask whether we should […]
