Woman Geniuses. Great thread that I somehow missed over at AskMeFi.

Blogging from the Apple Store! Some idiot’s smashed one of the glass plates at the front door already. 🙁

I am seriously, seriously thinking about doing the Hundred Push-ups Challenge. I can probably do, like, two proper push-ups.

I just find this amazing. A major cricket scandal has erupted because, in the course of a match, the English team ran out a New Zealand player after he collided with the bowler and fell down. (In baseball terms, imagine that a base runner collides with an infielder and falls down, and the other team proceeds to tag him out.) As near as I can tell, the main objection that the NZ team have is that, well, it just wasn’t good sportsmanship. Isn’t that great? And the English captain has actually apologized! It really couldn’t happen in any other sport.

What could be better than a ray gun? A ray gun that changes the TV Channel. Cooooool.

Ammonite washbasin. Gorgeous. We’re going to have to redo the bathrooms someday…

Feel like doing a good deed? Go throw crumpet a few bucks so she can enter a prestigious art competition. I’ve been reading her blog for years, and I’ve always appreciated her perspective on the process of making art. Not to mention the fact that when the Snook and I went to Melbourne a few years back, she and Mr. Crumpet insisted we come over for dinner at their place, even though I really only knew her through the Internet. So if you ever wanted to be a patron of the arts, I can’t think of somebody more deserving. (And when I get my inevitable talk show, I shall decorate my entire dressing room with crumpet’s works.)

Nintendo Wall Decals. ZOMG. Now my desire to have a lovely, grown-up home with proper furniture is competing with the urge to put GOOMBAS ON MY WALLS.
