Department of Linky Love: The Examiner

It’s nice to see some sol­id loc­al news report­ing over at new Wel­ling­ton web­site The Exam­iner. The Exam­iner says it aims to be “… a site where we look deep­er and think harder about the city we live in and the issues that mat­ter to us. It is also a for­um for telling Wel­ling­to­ni­ans’ stor­ies, […]

Best things-to-do in Wellington post. Ever.

Tom puts us to shame. He really does.

You know you’re from…

Jimmy Jangles has pro­duced a handy guide to know­ing which part the Great­er Wel­ling­ton region you’re from… You know you’re from Wel­ling­ton when… You know you’re from The Hutt when… You know you’re from Pori­rua when… Par­tic­u­larly like the Wel­ling­ton trait of being able to “…detect 27 dif­fer­ent shades of black suit.” UPDATE!

The latest Mys­tery Bay (up to #22!) is up over at Wel­lUrb­an. Kate at myego­ism wants some advice on the apart­ments in the Wel­ling­ton Work­ing Men’s Club build­ing on Cuba St. Good or bad?

As both Wel­lUrb­an and Oddity 59 (and now us) point out in their blogs, so much is hap­pen­ing in Wel­ling­ton at the moment that it’s hard to keep track. What with the Inter­na­tion­al Arts Fest­iv­al, accom­pa­ny­ing Fringe Fest­iv­al, so called ‘fun’ runs, fairs, con­certs, ocean races (come and gone) and the occa­sion­al game of footy […]

Wanda Har­land alerts us to this week­end’s Petone Fair. A good excuse, as she points out, to try the new Petone Ferry (which leaves from Queens Wharf, and thus leads us nicely onto our next post…) Dave5 has pho­tos of the Volvo Ocean Race arriv­ing in port (where they’re to be tied up down by […]

They’re put­ting men­tal patients in Whitby. Whitby? As Wel­lUrb­an points out: “…do they ser­i­ously expect a depressed per­son to get bet­ter in Whitby? I feel like top­ping myself after five min­tues there.” [And here’s quite a good dis­cus­sion on it on NatRad from this morn­ing.] The Volvo Ocean Race yachts should be sail­ing into town […]

Martha wants you to tell her where the hot wait staff are. Tom wants a tiki bar. Joanna wants you to vote for her for Prom Queen when you go the Toi Whakaari Prom tomor­row. What do you want?

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 […]
