Being a pedestrian in a car oriented city

- Jack Yan
- First up, the Cadillac ELR TVC, with actor Neal McDonough boasting about the US’s consumer culture and past glories: And now, Ford parodies it with a far more down-to-earth and realistic message about what we should be praising in the occident, starring environmental advocate Pashon Murray, who runs Detroit Dirt, a composting company: […]

New graffiti bylaw for Wellington?
- Sarah Free
- Glad to say that Wellington City Councils Community Sports and Recreation Committee (of which I am a member), has directed Council officers to work on a possible new bylaw which would allow Council to remove publicly visible graffiti on private property, without needing to contact owners. In my view, Council does need this provision, as a […]

seasons changing so it must be time for knack
- The Wellingtonista
- I’m not sure about everyone else, but as a crafty person and lover of handmade fairs where the focus is on locally designed and created items, I measure my seasons by Knack Craft Market I know it’s autumn, not because of the weather, or the dates but because knack tells me so. Held at Berhampore […] The post seasons changing so it must be time for knack appeared first on The Wellingtonista.

Reviewing the review: Veni Vedi Vici

A belated look back at 2013
- Jack Yan
- I must have had a busy end of 2013, as I never posted my trade-mark summary of the year as viewed via my Tumblr. Here ’tis, better late than never. January 2013 Lucire has a facelift online—by December 2013, this “new look” would be history. Kylie Minogue is on the home page as the first […]

MH370: the simplest explanations are probably the best
- Jack Yan
- I have followed very little mainstream media coverage of Malaysian Airlines’ flight 370, apart from National Radio. It seems that not paying attention to mainstream media has made me clearer about what might have happened to it. All those way-out theories never held any sway for me. Or the idea about tracking cellphones or […]

The shame of Russia (courtesy of Facebook)
- Jack Yan
- At the weekend, 40,000 to 50,000 took to the streets of Moskva—Moscow—to protest their government’s actions in the Ukraine, at the Peace and Freedom March. I understand that media called the country’s actions ‘the shame of Russia’. A friend provided me with photos of the protest that he and his friends took, which I […]

A ginger latte, other Eva-Leeds tipples and Caffeination
- The Wellingtonista
- Six Barrel Soda is a semi-regular stop and there I recently found a ginger latte (their ginger syrup with hot latte milk), with or without a shot of coffee. You probably do have to be a ginger fan, but it was rather delicious and autumnal. I also spied a new rhubarb syrup and then after […] The post A ginger latte, other Eva-Leeds tipples and Caffeination appeared first on The Wellingtonista.

A solo date with the mob
- The Wellingtonista
- Have you been reading Solo Date City? This anonymous blogger is eating her way around Wellington alone, writing gorgeously about both the experience and the feelings that propelled her to that restaurant in the first place. I love to eat brunch or even lunch by myself, but dinner not so much, so tonight I took […] The post A solo date with the mob appeared first on The Wellingtonista.

Power Plant percussion…
- The Wellingtonista
- Interesting that my reflective sense of the music looking back is percussion, but there are quite a lot of little things banging or rubbing on other things to create unusual and interesting sounds.
