Drunken conversations: Beth from Eat and Greet

Every­one who’s a drink­er knows that the best con­ver­sa­tions hap­pen when you are plied with good food and good drinks, so I’ve decided I’m going to inter­view some choice Wel­ling­to­ni­ans after we have been imbib­ing togeth­er. First on the plate is Beth from Eat and Greet which launched last year and is doing a really great […]

More Auckland vs Wellington malarky

Recently menus.co.nz put up a piece called Auck­land is the cap­it­al of cuisine – not Wel­ling­ton, and then asked a num­ber of Wel­ling­ton food blog­gers to respond. The Auck­land inter­net seems to be very short of space, as our response was edited quite heav­ily(*) des­pite stick­ing to the word lim­it (and links changed to pro­mote […]

What we’ve been tweeting about lately

Do you fol­low us on Twit­ter? A lot of you do. But you might miss our tweets in amongst all your very import­ant updates from sportspeople, so here’s what’s been going on. We talked about a new Mojo open­ing in the Tele­com build­ing on Wil­lis Street, and what a relief that was since it was […]

Data without borders

They say that know­ledge is power, and when it comes down to it, know­ledge often comes from data. But how do you get the most out of your data? Or how do you get your hands on someone else’s? Find out on Thursday June 28. Data Without Bor­ders NZ is gath­er­ing a net­work of non-profits, […]

A super great night with Gamefroot

Last night the City Gal­lery played host to the launch of Game­f­root, a new plat­form on which to build plat­form games – or more spe­cific­ally, a HTML5 Game Cre­ation tool. If you can use a web browser and if you can use mouse to click and drag – then you can use Game­f­root. The bar has […]

Get Mr Gay Wellington to Mr Gay World!

This week­end in Auck­land is the Big Gay Out. Now that wouldn’t be of much interest to us here at the Wel­ling­tonista because Out In The Square, the capital’s own queer fest­iv­al is big­ger and bet­ter, but at the Big Gay Out they’re also run­ning the Mr Gay New Zea­l­and com­pet­i­tion and Wellington’s Mar­cus Fen­son […]

Less than a week til Webstock ’12!

Can you feel the excite­ment in the air? Hear the squeak of glasses being polished,Threadless pack­ages being opened, plaid shirts being ironed and beards being fluffed? Next week, Wel­ling­ton plays host to the greatest most awe­some con­fer­ence in the world. Fact! We’ve already made some recom­mend­a­tions of things for Web­stock attendees to do in Wel­ling­ton, […]

The Restaurant Website Drinking Game

In our review of Cap­it­ol, we men­tioned how we go there des­pite the dread­ful­ness of their web­site (but you prob­ably missed that bit and cut straight to talk­ing about neg­ronis). What espe­cially is so bad about their site? There’s Flash, con­tact details hid­den, menus embed­ded that don’t even work prop­erly (can any­one tell me what […]

Fast, fresh, tasty and kind of awesome

On Thursday night, our old bowl­ing league arch nemisisisis bud­dies Click­Suite  launched a new iPhone and iPad app called Fast, Fresh and Tasty. We went along because we were prom­ised food and drink, and you know how good that is at get­ting us to leave our houses, but we were pleas­antly sur­prised by the app itself. Fast, […]
