    New #Runkeeper Pro version is live in AU app store! Perfect timing for City2Surf. Will take photos to enforce walk breaks.

    @bellsg Week 1 is traditionally awesome. Just don’t get discouraged if Week 2 isn’t as huge!

    Heh. http://kenyanbirthcertificategenerator.com – for when you need to discredit an enemy’s citizenship.

    Note to self: If you tweet pictures of desk with incriminating bottles of Diet Coke, the Snook WILL CATCH IT.

    @Opheli8 @misswired Sorry, ladies. I’ve only got sock wool on me today. (Must remember to bring a larger stash for beanie emergencies.)

    My two favorite things today: http://twitpic.com/cxzee. I’m gonna be wired.

    @Bex_the_Femme Proof that two WRONGS make an UNHOLY TORNADO OF WRONGNESS. *shudder*

    @fictillius As a woman, I’d happy trade Fernwood for the Melbourne Club.

    @DDsD Obviously you haven’t been on one that was tuned to “Transport TV”. (I’m not kidding.)

    Heading to knitting…

    Holy crap. Just watched Jamie Oliver’s pig special… after having pork chops for dinner. Next ones will be guaranteed free range.

    I actually just had to run into the street and wave my arms to get a 461 driver to stop at Broadway. Kris 1; Forces of Evil 0.

    Check out the 5.07 km run I did with @runkeeper http://bit.ly/KY1Kn #RunKeeper

    @devvyleys I’ve got one at my house you can photograph if you need to!

    Monster circuit training session at Spudds today. Had a hell of a time trying to keep up with @chrisgander. My legs are DEAD.

    @purple_velvet @sharre Well, I’m teaching socks at Guild camp in Oct., but they were reluctant to put on more than 1 sock class. #socksummit

    @sharre I dunno; mine’s filling up. I think they though the Pru Mapstone was a much bigger draw. (She’s sold out, so guess they’re right.)

    Whoa. http://mudrun.com.au. @shanea, @TimBags, @Steffi_83… You guys up for running in the mud? 😛

    I can’t even tell the rest of the office how brilliant “Single Ladies (in Mayberry”) is, because they don’t know the Andy Griffith Show. #fb

    Updated my Skype photo at work. I was using self as Queen Amidala, but coworker asked in all seriousness if I was Tajikistani. #costumefail

    @sharre @randomknits Deputy Sharre has spoken true. 🙂

    @Diepdin Oh Em! Shouldve sent to you right away. Will send now. 🙂

    Started new knitting project. Sunshine yellow Blue-Faced Leicester makes me happy to be alive. This could turn into something special…

    Just took a couple pics of Tasman Summer Tunic. All I need is a ribbon for the front and a button for the back: http://twitpic.com/cwjft

    @gilmae BRILLIANT! Thanks for that. I’ll head down Saturday arvo.

    @imdominating I’ve settled on Tweetdeck. Still crashes occasionally, but I like using the same interface at work/home/phone.

    Last week I got a 2nd monitor, this week I got a window with view of Crown St and City. Happy worker. http://twitpic.com/cwvzv

    Pic of dress is slightly oversaturated. True colour is more of a deep royal purple. (Paddington in Dover: http://bit.ly/3xEIf) @justjussi

    @witty_knitter I wasn’t planning on it.

    @henrytapia It’s normal around here! Tech team uses Skype to communicate, & I’m giving Twitter preso Mon. Mobile industry very connected. 🙂

    Going to collect my team’s City2Surf race packs. Only 5 days left!

    How to Double Blog Traffic in 1 Day: insult graffiti knitters. That’s my bit of SEO genius for July. (Note to self: put ads up next time!)

    @TimBags Which did you get? I’ve been looking myself.

    RT @gilmae: @web_goddess Isn’t it hard to make the yarn stick to the side of the train? <- BWAHAHAHA…

    @carbolicious Excellent. Hopefully we’ll be there then too!

    Could James Mathison replace Kyle on Idol? PLEASE OH PLEASE! http://bit.ly/19zmIr Mathison was the best thing about that show.

    @witty_knitter Yay! I hope it isn’t too much bureaucracy. I don’t remember having to get a police report? Maybe just for Kiwis?! 😛

    @Ezzles Ha. I once dragged my 12yo neighbour to see Phantom Menace like four times. #shameful #confession

    Looking for reputable plumber/water heater guy in Inner West. Anybody know somebody?

    On my way to physio to see if my back can be improved before Sunday’s race.

    Yowch. I’m gonna have bruises!

    @TimBags Ha, that’s right next door to our office!

  • Professional Organizer

    Seriously? The idea of a professional organiser coming to my house and sorting out all our STUFF makes me swoon. That would be so awesome.

  • Happiness – experiences or possessions?

    Which gives greater happiness – experiences or possessions? Snookums and I discussed that article last week and both agreed that we are way happier spending money on experiences rather than objects. That Iron Chef dinner was probably the most needlessly extravagant thing we’ve ever purchased, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I’ll remember that forever. A co-worker was surprised recently when he found out that we don’t have wedding rings. But I don’t see how any piece of jewelry could possibly make me as happy as our goofy wedding in Vegas. That said… we both do have iPhones, and we love them. So we’re not completely anti-materialistic…

  • So true.

    xkcd: “I’m concerned that we’re sitting here like I’m a responsible adult. I’m pretty sure that I stopped growing up in my teens and have been faking ever since.”

  • Perennial Vegetables

    Perennial Vegetables. I really like the idea of growing asparagus. I’ve read that it can take years to start producing though…

  • Google Reader

    I’ve gotten in the habit of just hitting “share” on interesting links in Google reader rather than actually, you know, blogging them. Sorry about that.

    @witty_knitter @mrs_sockvictim Okay, this conversation has gone in very different direction from innocent proclamation of arrival of spring!

    Chippendale Fresh Food Co-op is really happening! If you’re in Chippo and not on the email list, let me know and I’ll forward.

    “Glitter is the herpes of craft supplies.” http://bit.ly/XvcNq

    Holy crap. Ben & Jerry’s are opening in Sydney! Free ice cream! THE TOTAL WRECK OF MY DIET! http://www.benandjerry.com.au (@gadgetgirl70)

    @carbolicious Huh. I saw somebody on TV once with a glitter phobia. It’s very real and weird.

    The Shawl Virus is spreading. I can appreciate them as beautiful things… but no, not for me. I may have to build a bunker and hide.

    Getting the low-down on machinations within Sydney retail craft community. Very interesting things are afoot!

    Was present for actual Wheeling and Dealing. All highly confidential. Will email the enquiring minds…

    Email is being typed RIGHT NOW, and you’re all on it…

    @bellsg Wait, I don’t think I have your email addy, Bells! Send quick!

    Sent. I love sharing exciting gossip. Shhhhhh….

    @bellsg Hmmm… You were on there! Just sent again, so you may get two.

    Just completed a 5.67 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/3maobQ #RunKeeper
