Recently arrived on the blogging scene: Poneke<\/a>, a journo writing about NZ as a whole and Wellington in particular. It’s good stuff, well-researched and smart and breaking new stories now and then. I’ve had an eyebrow raised at the climate change coverage but almost everything else there has been top-notch.
\nWhen Poneke turned up it felt like there was the satisfying clunk of a final piece falling into place in the Wgtn-focus blogosphere. With events-and-chatter mavens the Wellingtonista<\/a> going strong and Tom guiding us through the changing physical environment at WellUrban<\/a>, we had a strong trio of distinctive perspectives that covered a lot of ground. These three blogs, it seemed, would give you a pretty solid overview of DubTown.
\nNaturally, almost as soon as Poneke picked up steam, the turf changed. Tom has retired WellUrban<\/a> to move into employment in the field of his enthusiastic interest. Luckily, there are good signs that the triangulated coverage of Wellington will continue, with newcomers Eye of the Fish<\/a> pledging to carry on where Tom left off on the architecture-and-urbanism front.
\nSo that’s the scene. Yes, Wellington is small enough that you can get a fair sense of it from just three blogs; but of course that’s only the general shape and size. There’s a whole lot more complexity to the city than that, and if anyone else steps up with their own Wgtn-focus blog, there’s definitely space for them. (They might already be out there – who am I missing?)
\nAnyway, I want to extend a cheer in Tom’s direction for his efforts on WellUrban. I’ve learned a lot from reading that blog, about my home, about how cities work and can work, and most importantly what “active edges” means. Thanks man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
