  • Nike+iPod

    Ooh, it looks like the Nike+iPod kit will work with any old shoe! Now I just need a Nano.

    Update: I just rang Apple Australia. According to a nice guy named David in Sales, the kit will be available here in August. I’ve got a few weeks yet to sell my old iPod and get a Nano! (Anybody interested in a pretty much brand new non-colour, non-video iPod? I received it as a replacement for my old one in January, and I’ve barely used it since I got a Shuffle. I’ll make you a deal…)

  • Human Space Invaders

    This is so freakin’ cool. Human Space Invaders. (Here’s YouTube if that doesn’t work for you.) According to the translated French text, it involved: 1 theatre, 67 extras, 4 hours of shooting, and 390 images.

  • NIPPLES

    I’d just like to state that I had nothing – NOTHING! – to do with the nipples blatantly visible in the new Tapestry Craft window display. Thank you.

    Boobies

    Updated: I took a picture. See? Nips. Psychedelic pink nips.

  • Click Survey

    This is neat. Click Survey. It’s a painting and you’re supposed to click on it wherever you like. Then it shows you where everybody else clicked. Go do it before you see where I clicked…I clicked on the dot on her forehead.

  • Japanese Knitting

    Helpful link: Japanese Knitting Basics. Very useful for translating Asian yarn labels and needle sizes.

  • Pictures

    Can you guess who was more industrious this weekend, me or the cat?

    Pumpkin Bread   Cat Nap

    That was my first attempt at making pumpkin bread (in the bread machine, of course). It’s nice! We were out of ground cumin so I put in some of Herbie’s Mexican Chili Powder, which works well. It’s a very pretty and healthy-looking loaf of bread. And then there’s the cat, snoozing on her favourite chair under the dining room table. Little slacker. Of course, neither of us came close to the slacking levels of the Snook, who discovered World of Warcraft. Pray for me.

  • CityScape Coat Hangers

    CityScape Coat Hangers. Okay, I can tell that that one is London, this one is Paris and Tokyo, and the bottom-right one on this one is New York. But what’s that fifth one?

  • Crime Scene

    I walked in the door after work tonight and literally gasped in horror. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the crime scene. Why yes, that is $17/ball Noro Silk Garden dragged all over the floor. And of course, the requisite shot of the criminal. She’s not sorry. Not one bit.

  • iPod Sport Kit

    Whoa. I really, really want the Nike + iPod Sport Kit. Of course, that would necessitate buying a new iPod… and new shoes… and the kit… and, you know, starting to run again. *sigh*
