Bright Wings

I May Be Wrong But…
On Kiwiology since: February 1st, 2010I’m an ex-journalist now retired and enjoy updating my blog every week or two.

Boganette
On Kiwiology since: February 1st, 2010If you’re into metal and classic rock, if you wear your Iron Maiden tee-shirts with pride, if you have seen The Wall too many times, if you unashamedly love wrestling, if you like black jeans, bourbon & coke and hardy boots over fashion, RTDs and heels then you might enjoy this blog. Boganette is a home for proud Boganettes and Bogans.

Yardy Yardy Yardy
On Kiwiology since: January 31st, 2010…It’s a bit of everything and anything, expanding regularly. It started off as a uni tutorial lesson on how to build a blogsite and, now that I’m learning how to write a bit of HTML and play with PhotoShop, I’ve kickstarted the blog again as a live learning workbench for myself and hopefully some entertainment for others.

LudditeJourno
On Kiwiology since: January 31st, 2010Ludditejourno is not my real name. It’s not even how I feel every day, just how I felt the day I set this up. Other days might include music, sport, cycling, science fiction or gardening in an-attempt-to-be-amusing moniker. In fact, in the real world I go by Sandra Dickson, and I studied journalism at Whitireia Polytech under the decidedly inspiring Jim Tucker. Then I went back to work that did not feel soul-destroying. I’ll be blogging on life, the universe and everything, with a little bit of news-watching and media stuff.

Southern Squall
On Kiwiology since: November 27th, 2009A Gale of Views on Invercargill, Southland, New Zealand, the world (And yes, it’s all honest opinion).
We’re based in Invercargill, and we write a mix of local news (the stuff not covered in the local daily) and opinion (the stuff probably best not covered in the local daily). We’re former journalists, and whatever news we write comes from genuine sources. We’re not into recycling the work of others so, unless we’re expressing an opinion on something in the news, all the stuff we gather is original.

KBRM rebutted
On Kiwiology since: May 8th, 2009Kiwis for Balanced Reporting on the Mideast (kbrm.org.nz) is the very antithesis of balanced. It is pro-Israel, pro-Zionist and very definitely anti-Palestinian. KBRM posts articles and members letters on its website, encourages its devotees in letters-to-the-editor campaigns, and places paid advertisements in our newspapers that are (figuratively speaking) simply straight out of the Mossad propaganda songbook. I present a rational, balanced alternative view.

The visible hand in economics
On Kiwiology since: January 31st, 2008Matt Nolan and James Zuccollo write about government involvement and economics:
“The main aim of this blog is to discuss areas where government involvement makes sense. While we agree that the free and unfettered market often provides the most effective way of allocating resources, we also believe that thinking the free market can solve every economic problem is naive and even dangerous.”

100 Word Blog
On Kiwiology since: November 18th, 2007Too many blogs are just too long.
A 2000 word essay on someone’s barely thought through political views or their description of their trip to the shops is more than I can bear to read.
Short posts tend to be little more than the written equivalent of reading a newspaper’s headlines out loud.
Is it possible to have an interesting blog with short posts only? I thought I’d have a go. I’ll stick to one rule on this blog – posts of no more than 100 words.
Let’s see how long before I lose interest.

Capitalism Bad; Tree Pretty
On Kiwiology since: November 3rd, 2007From Capitalism Bad; Tree Pretty:
For those of you who are cooler than me, the title of my blog is a reference to Graduation II, the last episode of Season 3 of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. There’s a big fight and they’ve just blown up a big giant snake, and the entire high school. After the battles done, and they’ve kind of won Buffy and Giles have a conversation:
Giles: Quite a couple of days.
Buffy: My brain hasn’t processed everything yet. It’s not really functioning at the higher levels. It’s pretty much, ‘fire bad, tree pretty.’ Anything more complex…
Giles: Understandable. Well when it starts working again, congratulate it on a good campaign. You did very well…..There is a certain dramatic irony in the way things turned out. Asynchronicity that borders on predestination, one might say.
Buffy: Fire bad, tree pretty.
That’s the reference, which doesn’t actually explain why I called by blog Capitalism Bad; Tree Pretty.
It’s kind of a promise, or possibly a goal. While I’ve never attempted to kill someone, had my ex-boyfriend drink my blood to save his life, blown up the school, and fought a bunch of vampires all in a week period, it sometimes feels like I have (particularly in the last couple of months). The purpose of this blog is analysis, and that generally requires a brain that functions on the higher levels, but if all I’ve got is ‘Capitalism Bad; Tree Pretty’ I’ve still got something.

In a strange land
On Kiwiology since: October 23rd, 2007In a strange land:
“My name is Deborah.
The header on this blog is an extract from the petition presented to the New Zealand Parliament, in 1893, asking for suffrage for women. The petition was granted; on September 19, 1893, all New Zealand women were enfranchised.
In early 2007, I spent a lot of time hanging about Public Address, and in the midst of a vexed discussion there, wrote this comment, on feminisms. Writing it made me want to have a blog of my own, ‘though for various reasons, it took me some time to get it going.”

Portrait of the artist, Paul Litterick
“Dandyism is above all the burning need to make oneself an original, contained within the outer limits of propriety. It is a kind of self-worship… It is the pleasure of surprising others and the prideful satisfaction of never being surprised.”

Wellingtonista
On Kiwiology since: September 13th, 2007The Wellingtonista was formed at the start of 2005. The underlying mission of the blog is to promote and write about the many interesting aspects of our wonderful city, from places to get drunk, things to go and see, events to participate in, bands to listen to, places to get drunk, plays to watch, comments on local news, restaurants to eat in, and, sometimes, places to get drunk.
