@1lifecat @mayorofnewtown It’s not a “who sucks worse?” competition. But a hater with a car can KILL someone, whereas cyclists mostly can’t.

Great slide to kick off this #IIBA presentation: salary range for BA’s in Australia. Yeah, I’m takin’ notes.


“How many of you have a career path @ your company that involves becoming a proj. manager? And how many of you are happy about that?” #IIBA


Heh. Side-theme of this #IIBA event is “Mocking project managers.” I’ll admit to chuckling.


This lady is completely validating my decision to change jobs three months ago. This makes me happy. #IIBA

@witty_knitter Bells are required by law on bikes. If he didn’t have one, he should get a ticket.


@witty_knitter Granted, mine doesn’t always do me a lot of good when cattle-like pedestrians have earbuds in or are texting. *shrug*


@gusseting Yeah, the laser makes Amy go NUTS. Also, Petey figured out how to play with the mousey… at 5am. YOU’RE ON MY LIST NOW.


@witty_knitter Of course not. I’m not sure what strawman you’re attacking here, but I’ve never heard a cyclist claim to be above road rules.


@witty_knitter Most of us are just as annoyed by law-breakers as you are! But you shouldn’t be surprised by dickheads. They’re everywhere.


@witty_knitter I never argued with that. Those are both against the law and the cyclist should be ticketed.

@drkknits I just got a retweet from Wagamama of my Michael Cera tweet. I am in Twitter hipster ego-stroking heaven.


@traveller0112 Oh, we have that too. Aggro drivers want cyclists to register and display plates. Sometimes they yell at us. They suck.

@drkknits Thanks! Figured dressing up would distract me from other things. πŸ™‚


I had an awesome dream last night that NASA selected me to be an astronaut on a moon trip. I was actually disappointed when I woke up.


@auspost Thanks. It was VH1967710.

@auspost Strawberry Hills. I sent through an official complaint on January2nd. Reference #VH1967710. Got meaningless form response back.


@fitocracy Is there some way to delete my account? I’m just not using the site; would prefer to remove my details rather than leave up.


@auspost Thank you. I have the packaging that was used to return the license. I’ll take a few photos.


Wow. I may end up getting compensated from Australia Post for the replacement license after all!


Awesome. @dooce talks about her experience on #paleo and why she loves it: http://t.co/LodxGW94. (cc @drkknits)


Wheee! Got another delivery from Heartbreaker today. This means I now own TWO wiggle dresses. Me. TWO.


@randomknits @gusseting Ooh, ooh, I didn’t realise they were being sent out! How excitement.


@that_alison Nope. But I line dried it. There’s something on the site about how you should only tumble dry it if you want it to snug up…


@Ezzles Bwahahaha… What’s it say underneath? Baratheon? (cc @drkknits @kunaal84) http://t.co/Zx4ERufv


New dress from Heartbreaker. Hello, sweetheart! http://t.co/rg8TDEgD


@Alegrya Me too! My friend @Opheli8 got a similar one last year and I thought it was super cute.


@Opheli8 Odds aren’t great that I’ll go. Got too much on! Trying to finish some projects for Saturday deadline.


Sydney retro fashionistas: In order to pull off the wiggle dress, I’m gonna need some shapewear. Where can I go to get fitted properly?


@drkknits @kunaal84 It was “comet”. πŸ™‚

@Justacogitating Once he has ears and horns it’ll be even better.


@rachievaichie Because most of the other stuff in the Easter Show knitting competition is boring as.


@AusVintageGrrl Do you read Teer Wayde’s blog? I think she linked to some recently…


@mrs_sockvictim @drkknits It’s an iPhone/Android game called Draw Something. Addictive… but I think I’m over it already after one week.

Today I learned that you can lodge a protest against Easter Show judging for a mere $25. Interesting. Interesting…


@witty_knitter The $25 gets forfeited if they think your protest is “frivolous”, so I wouldn’t even lose the money! THIS IS TOTES WIN-WIN.


My co-worker saw Michael Cera at Wagamama on Saturday. Damn. I’m so annoyed I didn’t find out about that show early enough to get tickets.


@stufromoz Nice. The knitted womb pattern is pretty old, but the protest is new…


RT @the_snook: MRRT is not a tax. It’s just making miners us pay a fair market rate for their inputs. Inputs that belong to everyone. ht …


@stufromoz I blogged it. I’ve got too many projects on the go now to engage in protest knitting, but I’m sure others will be interested!


@mrs_sockvictim We discussed cycling, but will probably take the GoGet car. Have to go earlyish as we have a lunch to attend after.


GAH. 2.5 months after they lost it, @auspost have sent me my drivers license. No note. No explanation. No refund of my $25 either.


@mrs_sockvictim Not sure if I’ll be done by then! Still some sewing up to do…

@auspost It wasn’t lost in the post. It was lost AT the post office while claiming a parcel. The clerk insisted that she’d given it back…


@auspost …but yet now, 2.5 months later, mysteriously it turns up and is posted back to me. Long after I’ve gotten a replacement.

Dear @drkknits: I’m pretty sure writing the word you want me to guess on your picture is outside the spirit of Draw Something. πŸ˜›


@stufromoz But for some reason, Sam Sawnoff wears really high-waisted trousers. And I am nothing if not faithful to the original…


@stufromoz Not a Magic Pudding fan? You’re missing out. You should get your Mister to read it to you at bedtime. It’s hilarious.


@drkknits What, like a robot? Did you get overloaded or something?


@drkknits Heh. I just draw a stickman in front of a computer with RODD and 24-7 written on it. The answer is WARCRAFT. I amuse myself.


@drkknits Should be Bandaid, I think!!?


Draw Something is now, like, this challenge where I see how badly I can draw and still get @kunaal84 to guess it.


Also, you will unsurprised to learn that @kunaal84 draws a really good elephant. #notracist #iswear
