Finding Nemo
- Eye of the Fish
- Hi, I’m Nemo. Captain Nemo to you. I’ve written on this blog a couple of times before but the recent demise of Leviathan makes me think that we shouldn’t just let it all go to waste. I’ve been reading Eye of the Fish for years and am going to give it a try to keep it going, but under new management. It seems that Wellington really needs a good urban design blog. I was going to start up my own blog, but that is a hard thing to do: to get the footsteps of passers by and the eyeballs of the idle clickers. It seems that this blog may still have some readers returning here in the hope of finding Levi still afloat, but that seems a forlorn hope so far. So: finding Nemo it is instead.
