Disruption isn’t new. Disruption isn’t always about Silicon Valley. Disruption isn’t ’American’. Imagine the disruption to people’s lives in the tiny hamlet of Akaroa when this was installed in 1901.

Our first promotion of Stop Child Traffic was as intense as the intense chocolates that made up the floor prizes at the IIW. But nowhere near as intense as the next three years.

P.S. … we know the chocolates were intense … it says so, right there on the packet.

Oof just what was needed. Wish it was every day … ‘needed’ or not.

it’s the ’Red Fort’ … How much more red can it be?

Pretty sure this qualifies as a statue. I mean, I’ve got others, but to riff on the words of Mr. Dundee …

Released in 2011, 🔗🎵 The Floyd Retrospective is itself old enough to be a retrospective, but in any case, this footage is not part of it, because it has just been rediscovered.

A little north of Auckland these is something called Sculptereum, and in one of the corners of Sculptereum, there is an installation that includes one of my favorite quotes.

I approached today’s prompt with apprehension. ’Yonder’ for goodness sake. But I 🖇️ stuck to my guns, took a deep breath, opened photos and entered ‘yonder’ into the search. Just a single image came up.

I am not alone in my thinking. This was the line on the street at around nine in the evening.

Thankfully when we got in line we were only 6 people back. The rest turned up while we were in the store!


📸 The Nixon Tardis and My First Indian Food In Three Years

I was very happy to be going out to eat my first Indian in over 3 years (long story). In fact I was so happy that I took pictures. I took a few actually - but sharing this one in particular because of the Tardis and Dalek.

It seemed odd at the time, but I didn’t investigate it until just now - turns out it is famous!

Who knew?
