Congratulations to The Wellingtonista’s Llew (of SunnyO), who’s picked up third place in this year’s NZ and Australian section of the Weblog Awards. Tim Blair, the Australian reigning champ, was always going to be tough to top, so it was really a battle between the three chasing kiwi blogs for second place, with Silent Running […]
Earthquake weather? Wild Land takes a quick look at the relatively tenuous links between hot still days and the increased chance of a decent shake. (And some analysis of that big shake we had last week from the same source, here). Nearly counting as a force of nature within the Wellington urban environment, the Stagecoach […]

Check out the plethora of angry posts on the BBC rugby discussion boards. And speaking of […]

Firstly, five whuffie points to the first person who can spot the grocer’s apostrophe in the ‘local news’ iframe down on the bottom left right of the homepage.
