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.

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 […]
