Hard News: Lowering the Stakes, in reply to Bart Janssen,
Problematic. What if it's a second bike purchase / upgrade / replacement and you already own all of those things? Does this apply to second-hand sales on TradeMe?

If you liked Bastion, you might want to explore the Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger soundtrack. Basically anything by Nobuo Uematsu is pretty much spot on.

I was impressed with today's livable city feature Element Magazine pullout in the Herald, Lots of long-time-coming people-first Auckland plans and such.
What Wyndyard Quarter is sorely missing is a skate park for the tweens and teens — and perhaps a non-alcoholic drinkie diner place for them to hang out as well. (The gelato place was closed — did they not stake out Giapo?)
It was quite disheartening to see some good kids being chased away from venue to venue the other night because the council has taken away places for them to hang out and not put in any alternatives.

Hard News: Fixing Auckland, in reply to Russell Brown,
I for one, am a resident of said apartments which is why Wynyard Quarter is so bloody exciting for us from whence we stumbled upon it back in January.
It's true that nothing 'happens' around the area but it's super-accessible to other parts of the CBD that is enjoying a development growth spurt like the Britomart area. And more places should stay open for longer if they are to cater for residents of said apartments.
More high-quality density accommodation and fewer student shoeboxes, please.

Citation on the no-helmet rule, please? I'm going to print this out and keep a copy on me at all times.
Another great no-helmet photo from Saturday.
