“Finger length gives sports clue.” Huh. I always heard that women whose ring fingers were longer than their index fingers were more likely to be lesbians. (Who told me that? Kel?) At any rate, I just did a highly scientific study of my own fingers using the knuckle bend as the starting point. And guess what? My ring finger is longer too! I guess I really should commit to running a marathon next year. (And leaving the Snook for another woman. JUST KIDDING!)

HP5 Stills
Some sweet high-res stills from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix were released online today. I like the short hair! I also covet Hermione’s yoked fairisle jumper. (Link courtesy of Kevin.)

Poms
Cricket Australia says they’re going to crack down on racism this year… except for Pom bashing. We’re still allowed to do that. Cool!

Messenger Bag
Check it – a messenger bag made out of old floppy disks. Pretty sweet! Although it looks like it would suffer from the same problem as my Carpenters bag: being too boxy and uncomfortable to carry.

Idol Chatter
TallulahBelle is my new favorite Idol commentator. Her analysis of Sunday’s performances was spot on, and she shares my insane amusement with the antics of Mr. Bobby Flynn. (Thanks to crumpet for pointing me to Tally’s site.)

Race pics
Pictures from last weekend’s Bridge Run are now online! Why is my natural impulse to give the thumbs-up in every time I see a photographer?

New Hair
New hair colour! Now appearing on DeskCam. I wanted to go all brown; my hairdresser wanted to go all blonde. We compromised by doing a full head of foils, half of each all mixed together. It actually blends to the most natural colour I’ve had in years.

Hypoallergenic Cats!
Hypoallergenic cats are now on sale. They’re so cute! I like that the guy from the company goes out of his way to clarify that all they did was breed the right cats together; these are not GM cats.

The Last Knit
The Last Knit. It’s a cute little computer-animated video about a very obsessed knitter. Of course, this obsessed knitter couldn’t help but notice that she’s knitting garter stitch, yet her hand movements look more like purling… I’m a dork. (Link courtesy of John, who totally knew I’d post this.)

Homemade Ball Winder
Oh my gosh – a homemade ball winder made out of Lego! And it’s motorized! That’s the coolest thing ever. (More details pics are here.) I wonder if it actually works out cheaper than just buying one on eBay…
