John Cleese is wrong about humour
- Jack Yan
- Has John Cleese become embittered? He suggests that the Bond films after Die Another Day (his second and final) were humourless because the producers wanted to pursue Asian audiences.

Ikea tries to shut down its biggest fan site, showing us how the company thinks within
- Jack Yan

A good news heritage story...tech firms moving into heritage buildings
- Iona Pannett
- Thanks to my father for sending me this link about tech firms in San Francisco moving into old buildings (in an earthquake prone city), a good example for Wellington to keep on following. Love Zero's productive use of two old buildings, let's hope more will follow. Photo courtesy of The New York Times

I love trees but not sure about this project...any views?
- Iona Pannett
- Thanks to Karen Fifield for pointing out this project to me of growing a forest within an apartment building in Milan. Brilliant to green our buildings but wondering how it would be to live in such a place and whether the dominance of the trees takes something away from the building. But a good effort, integrating the built and natural environment well remains a challenge.
