    Festival looks to future

    • 9 Jun 2023
    • Wellington Scoop
    • Judging by the two bikes outside (one mine), the Festival of the Future wasn’t for cyclists. Food was also scarce at the outset of the two-day first event at Takina, Wellington’s stylish new convention centre. But that was remedied on day two and there’s a lovely cafe on the ground floor of the impressive building.

This will be the first one I've managed to catch, so I can't regale you with tales of past experiences, but I can promise you stalls, home baking, junk/treasure, and probably an awful lot of very out of date 2nd hand university text books.

• • Air Turbulence

    • 10 Aug 2024
    • Guardians of the Bays
    • Air turbulence has been increasingly in the news recently as the world’s skies get bumpier. It’s very ironic that flying, with aviation emissions and contra air trails, increases climate change which in turn makes clear air turbulence more common. Wearing a seatbelt is one way of not being injured when dramatic air turbulence occurs. However,Continue reading "Air Turbulence"

    • Wellington has long had an ambivalent attitude to alternative means of transport unloved in other cities - we still have trolley buses (long absent from Auckland or Christchurch), we have a cable car (NZ’s and one of the world’s few commuter vertical transporters), and the cops here seem to turn a blind eye to youths driving scooters, sidewinders or skateboards.

He could do it all and cover multiple positions if required, although he was predominantly either a halfback or first-five. He was a skilled kicker, both in general play and for goal,...
