@bellsknits Then don’t click on any links in my next tweet!

---

SPOILER ALERT! Don’t click on this link if you’re waiting for your @knitabulous yarn club package… http://twitpic.com/s11dp

---

@bellsknits @kms12 Hahaha, just caught up on the discussion. Can’t believe Bells caved! I’m enjoying one of the treats RIGHT NOW.

---

I just unlocked the “Super User” badge on @foursquare! http://bit.ly/4IahBW

---

Tip: When checking in beside a fountain, beware sudden wind shifts. @foursquare fail. (Yeah, I’m a little damp.)

---

Wow. The Miss Violet yarn club DRAMA is like a rabbit-hole that keeps going! Must remove that podcast from my Knitternet presentation.

---

@witty_knitter These blog posts http://bit.ly/6lEKdW http://bit.ly/5Sjr2O help too…

---

@alyshajane Try these… http://bit.ly/6lEKdW http://bit.ly/5Sjr2O

Catching your boss reading Twitter during a meeting? Priceless. (Hi @venks79!)

---

@acatinatree My husband sent that to me this morning… My husband wearing his Three Keyboard Cat Moon T-shirt. *facepalm*

---

My heart rate monitor is here! Now to calculate MHR. Depending on the formulate, I get a range from 180-193. Guess I’ll split the difference

---

Just completed a 2.68 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/5GG8k7 #RunKeeper

---

Get ready, Sydney. Not only am I wearing a frock for the Knitters’ Xmas Tea tomorrow, it’s VINTAGE! Very Mad Men, in fact.

---

(You’re not a vintage hipster if your mother-in-law buys the dress for you at her local op shop.)

---

@IronBrandon The Aussies are just waking up! Sure, I can help; I have to send them to my US fam all the time. DM or email me.

---

Did 1st run w/ Timex HRM. Warm day; had to slow speed and walk hills to stay 70-80% of max HR. Sound right? @runjohnerun @IronBrandon

---

Just completed a 6.57 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/64XPnx #RunKeeper

iPhone app review: Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock. http://bit.ly/5Ylolh Fun for crappy sleepers and fans of pseudo-scientific self-hackery.

---

@steven_noble Tempted. Sorely tempted. Unfortunately the Snook points out we don’t have a basement (i.e. prime spot for foosball).

---

I have lived in Sydney for eight years now… and I am, at this moment, eating my first ever sushi roll.

---

@bellsknits So good! It was the seaweed that put me off. Never liked it growing up. But with soy and wasabi… YUM. New lunch options, yay!

---

@tinkabel I’ve had rice + fish many times before; it’s just the nori rolls that I avoided. But no more! I’m a convert.

---

@gadgetgirl70 Oddly, we were probably only house in IN that DID have sushi (albeit Korean-style) on a regular basis. I just didn’t like it.

---

@supercres Give it a couple days; apparently it has to “calibrate” the first couple nights. Let me know how you go!

---

Wow, I’m in love with these @EyeBuyDirect frames: http://bit.ly/7tPqd9. Wonder if they’d ship to Australia…?

---

@supercres Just saw that version 2.0 came out yesterday! Did you get it? I got sleep graphs…

---

@TimBags I’ve got a heart rate monitor on order from US. Having more nerd data always motivates me to run! (Thinking of marathon in 2010!)

---

@knitterjp So jealous! Not here yet. Actually, maybe I put work address??

---

Ack! Stupid PayPal had my old address from 2yrs ago! Will have to wait for neighbours to deliver wool. 🙁

---

GOODGRIEF. There’s a rock-n-roll Santa playing the piano in the Westfield Bldg. I haven’t had enough caffeine to process that.

---

@TimBags More like six. 🙁

---

Our custom wedding rings are taking shape. Titanium is heavy! http://twitpic.com/s0km4

---

There is nothing funnier than watching five grown IT nerds try to break in to a locked office.

---

Especially when the designer solves the problem by the unheard-of method of simply PUSHING ON THE DOOR.

---

Durrrrr. Rings are platinum, not titanium. Brain not working. I blame Jazz Santa.

---

I’m entering @Crust_Pizza #Crustfreepizzafriday

---

IT’S A KNITTING MIRACLE! I evidently DID give @knitabulous my work address, so I just got my sock club kit! It’s gorgeous…

---

I just unlocked the “Explorer” badge on @foursquare! http://bit.ly/4Dvw2B

---

Searched Twitter to see if any other bloggers got spammed by Balsam Hill, and found loads of ppl shilling for them. Depressing.

---

@carbolicious Ahhh, so you’re sad about leaving? That’s the basis for the FB posting? (I just sent you an email.)

---

@DDsD We have a Museum of Obsolete Technology including original Gameboy and original iPod.

---

@steven_noble I don’t! I just remember the sign: http://twitpic.com/2lfto

---

@alyshajane I use Tweetdeck, mainly because I like using the same one on my desktop and phone and syncing columns across!

---

@Opheli8 Eh, you’re all just Internet people to me. It’s the “vaguely work-related” column that scrolls by too fast to read everything. 🙂

---

@Opheli8 Duh! Obviously that list is PRIVATE.

---

Operation Increased Base Mileage is in full swing.

---

@runkeeper Some problem with auto-tweeting today? My latest run (about an hour ago) didn’t pubilsh, even after re-sending.

---

@runkeeper Cool, no worries. Incidentally, Facebook didn’t publish it either…

---

@WildChildinAUS The Knitters Guild only takes cheques for membership. Some of us think this is the DUMBEST THING IN THE WORLD.

---

Just voted RunKeeper for Best Location Based Mobile App http://mashable.com/owa #openwebawards

---

@WildChildinAUS And guess how much a postal order costs? $4.50! Plus you’ve got to stand in line at the Post Office! The mind boggles.

---

Heart rate monitor sites are impenetrable! Runners: any suggestions for basic HRM? No GPS necessary. @steverunner @IronBrandon @runjohnerun

---

@johnvaughn Any running store… in Australia? 😛

---

Just updated Tweetdeck, now with support for lists and new retweets. Exporting my groups as lists now!

---

@Gin_ev_ra Are they in red T-shirts? Saw a few heading out this morning at Broadway. They looked vaguely sheepish and embarrassed.

---

---

Come one, come all to the dog and pony show!

---

@SMinney I never had any problems with desktop version, so yeah, stable. Hope iPhone update comes soon…

---

My swatch for St. Brigid is dry. Folks, it begins TONIGHT!

---

Hm. The Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran has grown somewhat. Getting 19st/10cm instead of 21.

---

Knitting progress is halted in favour of a very early night. I feel like crap.

---

Just completed a 5.04 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/73c9rX #RunKeeper

---

Great. This (http://bit.ly/6td7XE) makes me second-guess running a marathon. I’d have aimed for 5:30, which is too slow for some snobs. 🙁

---

Congrats to @EileenDCoE on her job offer in Melbourne! Looks like a few visits to Melbs are in order for 2010.

---

@Warlach Savant. She said some stupid things about knitting 6mo ago and we invited her to come to a Guild meeting, but she never replied.

---

@eileenDCoE Yay! Start following @crumpet and @gusseting to get the Melbourne news. 🙂

---

@Warlach @ozgamer got a free salad from Collier’s in East Sydney. Not an official reward; he had to tell them what @foursquare was. 🙂

---

P&P&Z to become a miniseries: http://bit.ly/5I0Nnl. (Attention @bellsknits!)

---

I really want to know which Sydney office this passive-aggressive gem comes from: http://bit.ly/5eTtcH

---

Changed my cardigan and shoes for the journey home. I feel like Mr. Rogers.

---

Check out the 2.67 km walk I did with @runkeeper http://bit.ly/6DFcCc #RunKeeper

---

New “keep cups” at @tobysestate! Had to get one since I’m their @foursquare mayor. http://twitpic.com/rmngo Yay for reusability!

---

Just completed a 9.82 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/7LwkvW #RunKeeper

---

Trying out Amano Gelato, new gelato place on Glebe Pt Rd. Yummy. http://twitpic.com/resfz

---

Thinking about doing my first marathon next year. I blame @steverunner and @runkeeper.

---

@Warlach I’m logged in, but it hasn’t updated in 6hr and I can’t check in to Chippo because search results aren’t coming up. @foursquare

---

@steverunner Can you point me towards Phedip ep or article re: appropriate base mileage for 1st time (slow) marathoner? I’m reading 25+…

---

@steverunner Found it! Fdip126. Thought there had to have been one. Thanks for that! Downloading now… 🙂

---

Finally fixed buggy iPhone app update notifications with a hard reset as per: http://bit.ly/4EV7mi

---

@runjohnerun Will do! I recently switched to forefoot running & I’m doing about 12mi/wk now. Aiming for possible marathon in 10 months!

---

Great session at Pennant Hills Library. 20some knitters inspired to get online! Then lunch courtesy of GrandmaFlea, lovely as ever.

---

Neat – we had delivery from @crust_pizza last night! Sooooo good. Had no idea they were on Twitter.

---

@alyshajane Just the plain ol’ Hawaiian. It was good!

---

What’s with the fireworks??

---

Over the city somewhere. Big crazy booms; finished like 10 minutes ago. Concert or sporting event?

---

@DDsD Few years ago we went to a “Rebels” party as Leia and Han. Half the guests came as sluts then too.

---

Surprisingly revelation from this morning’s preso: many older users don’t know that you can have more than one email address!

---

Snook is at the #photon conference, which is hosted by Wil Anderson. Man, the dot-com boom really never ended for some folks, did it?

---

@gilmae Are you a PHOTONER too? Suddenly you seem so much more bleeding-edge! 🙂 #photon

---

@gilmae Ahhh, but are you going to the big Christmas party tonight? (The Snook isn’t. He’s not bleeding-edge enough.)

---

@gilmae You are sounding dangerously un-web-2.0. You need to report to your local processing center for re-education.

---

Sitting at Tsukasa by myself putting the final nail in my fish phobia. Mmmm, sushi. (Snook says I’m hardcore now.)

---

@Warlach Happened to @ozgamer yesterday. Think it means you’ve been flagged as possible cheater. Wore off after 24hrs.

---

Why the Twitter backchannel behind speakers at conferences really sucks: http://bit.ly/4OjgzE. Totally agree.

---

---

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer. So needed.

---

Crust Pizza delivery on the way….

---

Knitternet preso updated for talk at Pennant Hills library tomorrow. I am bringing the Good Word of the Internet to the knitting heathens!

---

Train has stopped 100m outside station. This does not bode well.

---

GrandmaFlea is giving my introduction. http://twitpic.com/r82yw

---

@tinkabel Ravelry is the font of all knitting weirdness!

---

I am thankful I live and run in such a beautiful city. http://twitpic.com/qyf9o

---

I hearby nominate “advergame” as the Worst Neologism of the Century. Yeah, that’s right, THIS CENTURY. *shudder* It’s worse than “mobisode.”

---

@gilmae No. It’s “advertisement + game”. One of those crappy branded casual games on a website.

---

FRACK. I appear to be on the L38, which is the ONE bus that doesn’t stop at our street. Looks like I’ll be backtracking from Glebe.

---

I just unlocked the “Bender” badge on @foursquare! http://bit.ly/56pquB

---

@imdominating HA! Just woke up, not even out of bed yet, and I LOLed. Brilliant!

---

@Justacogitating Yep, Aussies love beets… to the point of putting pickled beets on hamburger. I KNOW!

---

I want to know who the people on the 470 bus route bribed to get, like, 75 buses every morning. There were FOUR stopped @ Broadway just now.

---

My review of the Boathouse at Blackwattle Bay, with pics: http://bit.ly/6oKFcL. Verdict: Snapper Pie FTW.

---

I just unlocked the “Adventurer” badge on @foursquare! http://bit.ly/4DVHcd

---

@WildChildinAUS There’s a setting for automatic tweeting. Off by default, I think, and most – like me – leave it that way! #foursquare

---

@WildChildinAUS You don’t. It’s just a game. People earn points and unlock badges for going new places. Kind of fun! #foursquare

---

@shanea I turned a bunch of them off! The only ones that still show are badges. 🙂

---

@tinkabel There were seven knitters at my house Monday night, all of whom had iPhones and would say YES.

---

I just unlocked the “Local” badge on @foursquare! http://bit.ly/7f5DvM

RT @DDsD: WakeMate: http://bit.ly/8yknNM $50 Wristband syncs with your mobile & otpimises your wake time. // I WANT THIS.

---

@traveller0112 Well, he’s Russian so they probably used to exchange waves from their front porches. 🙂

---

@imdominating That is like TWO BLOCKS from my house! But my hair is red now. 🙂

---

I may be getting a cold, and I accidentally just dipped my bus ticket twice. Happy friggin’ Thanksgiving.

---

@kms12 I do! I may feel like crap, but my house is gonna smell goooood tonight. 🙂

---

Pumpkin Spiced and Iced Cookies (http://bit.ly/6MB09a) are cooling on the counter.

---

@Justacogitating I like beets!

---

We are thankful for cat grass. OM NOM NOM!! http://twitpic.com/qx2pg

---

Now here’s a possibility for the Easter Show: Crocheted Childbirth Education Doll. http://bit.ly/6keEv6 The judges would have nightmares!

---

Discovery: pumpkin cookies are strange to Aussies, and some of my usual baked-good-fans are being scaredy cats and not trying. More for me!

---

@gilmae Haha, sure! There are still plenty left.
