Downing's Pontifications: May 2010
http://blog.markdowning.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
My spin. A Canadian working for an American company in China. Sunday, May 23, 2010. 杨泳梁 Yang Yongliang at Bund 18 in Shanghai. I dropped by the exhibit of my favourite Chinese artist 泳梁 Yang Yongliang. At the posh location of Bund 18. I bought a piece, Viridescence, Stock World (2009). Earlier in 2010. But the piece I've had fallen in love with, which I had my hands on but changed my mind owing to the world teetering on financial collapse at the time, was one of Phantom Landscape.

Downing's Pontifications: May 2008

My spin. A Canadian working for an American company in China. Wednesday, May 7, 2008. Marking Twain along the Yalu River. At the end of April I rented a car with two Tom and Veira, two people I work with. We drove for 3 hours to Dandong, the border town with North Korea, where the two countries are separated by the relatively shallow Yalu River. Much of the trees were in bloom in China; looking through Dandong’s development towards the empty hills of North Korea. Perhaps the commemoration of the Korean w...

My spin. A Canadian working for an American company in China. Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Paying Homage to Godzilla before his May 2014 Rampage. I finally found the world's smallest statue of the world's largest monster somewhere hidden near Hibaya park in central Tokyo, where the Toho Studios were. Coincidentally a helicopter was buzzing non-stop overhead because Obama was in town, presumably to discuss caging in the newest monster threat, China. Below are signed photos I bought a while back; the first i...
Downing's Pontifications: November 2009
http://blog.markdowning.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
My spin. A Canadian working for an American company in China. Friday, November 20, 2009. To stop a fight or not to stop a fight? After attending the Ad:Tech Internet and Social Media conference in Beijing the attendees ended up at the Park Hyatt's Xiu. Bar With four tables smashed to the ground and the commotion ploughing into me, I decided to stop the larger guy who was repeatedly punching the smaller guy about the head. But bouncers are as blind as Justice- all 10 of them- I ended up being headlocked.

John Downing has been an author, reporter, editor and columnist . He has made regular appearances on radio and TV. His main field is politics but he has written about everything under (and in) the Sun. Thursday, February 19, 2015. THE PROMOTION OF HAWGTOWN. TO DOES LOUSY JOB ON DEFENCE. The cottage potluck party is a pleasant affair. It also gives me an insight into life outside the bubble of Toronto where all the people live who either dislike the Big Smoke a trifle or hate it a lot. There are two versi...
Downing's Views: SNAPPED ELASTIC SYMBOLISM

John Downing has been an author, reporter, editor and columnist . He has made regular appearances on radio and TV. His main field is politics but he has written about everything under (and in) the Sun. Wednesday, April 22, 2015. You use an elastic band these days that has been touched by the sun for a few hours and it snaps. To me it's symbolic of the lousy quality control that means everything from your refrigerator to your weed wacker stops working the day after the warranty expires. It also bugs me th...

John Downing has been an author, reporter, editor and columnist . He has made regular appearances on radio and TV. His main field is politics but he has written about everything under (and in) the Sun. Thursday, April 23, 2015. DISABILITIES WOES AND WINS. YOU FEEL LIKE JUST STAYING HOME! It is still a mixed blessing. You can go from smiling thanks for the help from strangers and even governments to cursing anger with the latest stupid barrier or inept stranger. The days when I strolled for miles, even 32...

Groesbeek, a place name I'll never forget. I was skimming a newspaper when the name of the Dutch town and the Canadian War Cemetery there caught at me.

Then came all the generation projects that skyrocketed in cost, particu...

John Downing has been an author, reporter, editor and columnist . He has made regular appearances on radio and TV. His main field is politics but he has written about everything under (and in) the Sun. Saturday, March 24, 2012. CANADIANS SHOULD WELCOME GLOBAL WARMING. IF IT WAS WARMER, WE WOULD BE RICHER. I hate winter almost as much as I hate environmental exaggerators. There are actually those viewing with alarm that the total snowfall for Toronto this year was 40 cm., or to use the Imperial measur...

His main field is politics but he has written about everything under (and in) the Sun. Thursday, January 22, 2015. THERE'S ONLY ONE TAXPAYER. NOT ONE BUT THREE POLITICAL PICKPOCKETS. I have been baffled by one weird taxation issue since I first covered politics. After I appeared as the lone spectator at a meeting of Whitehorse council in the Yukon, the mayor demanded to know what I wanted.

New Zealander, communicator. Dirty Politics: Who’s been damaged? Almost a week since Nicky Hager dramatically changed the 2014 election campaign with ‘Dirty Politics’, his book is still making headlines, but it’s not clear where the damage resides. So far, the National Party are feeling the most heat as journalists pick through the book, revelation by revelation. Or if the source of the hacked emails is disclosed and – crucially – if links can be drawn to left-wing parties. If you follow the debate on so...

My spin. A Canadian working for an American company in China. Saturday, September 10, 2016. Field Trip: Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. Got an inside tour of Perimeter Institute in Waterloo, Canada. It’s one the world’s leading theoretical physics institutes. I overheard that it’s the “third most cited in the field, reputation ranked second to Princeton, and the largest grouping of theoretical physics since the Manhattan project”. And just why is this important? As PI’s annual report s...
