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.

@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

Just completed a 6.08 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/6nVJu4 #RunKeeper

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.

@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.

@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

We are thankful for Pumpkin Spiced and Iced Cookies! http://twitpic.com/qxbva

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.

I just became the mayor of Chippendale on @foursquare! http://bit.ly/090Vole

Damn. My plan to make Thanksgiving cookies is somewhat thwarted by not having a turkey cookie cutter.

@randomknits Nah, I’ve got some other alternatives. But thank you!

OH FFS. There were 6 knitters in my house last night, none of whom pointed out that the baby cardy I’m knitting HAS NO ARM HOLES.

@bellsknits I have no idea. I was so fixated on getting to the shoulder shaping it completely slipped my mind. Steeks to the rescue!

I just ousted @ozgamer as the mayor of MobileActive on @foursquare! http://bit.ly/4wmi0a

Yeah, I’m turning off @foursquare’s “mayor” notifications as @ozgamer and I are just trading back and forth right now…

Coworker actually just argued against tidal power because it’ll slow the moon down and cause it to fall sooner. My brain just fell out.

I’ve just signed up for @foursquare to try it out. If you’re in Sydney and you’re on it, I probably just sent you a friend request…

@bellsknits @mrs_sockvictim Sure! What did you have in mind? I’m happy to host you guys if you want to eat/drink/knit!

@bellsknits Sure! Shall we take it to email? I’m at kris.howard at gmail. I’m chatting to Fee right now on IM about it…

Can anybody recommend a good, not-too-expensive, friendly dentist in Sydney (preferably Inner West or CBD)?

@bellsknits Awwww, we’re not gonna leave you alone on a Monday night in the big smoke!

Impromptu knitting salon at my place… http://twitpic.com/qmcrk http://twitpic.com/qmcs1

Fantastic knitting last night w/ @bellsknits, @AusVintageGrrl, @mrs_sockvictim, @knitness, @knitterjp, & FabulousMonster. Thanks for coming!

@tinkabel Not really. It’s just us, so a big feast is too much work. I’m thinking of just having a turkey sandwich for lunch. 🙂

Race report from this morning’s Sri Chinmoy Sydney Series Race 6 in Centennial Park: http://bit.ly/5rnRGu

Hm. My “rice pudding in the rice cooker” experiment is not going well. Boiling hot milk has just erupted and spewed all over the cooker.

Monday morning. Headache. Crick in my neck. 480 bus running late. Not an auspicious start to the week.

@stufromoz I had to run to catch it. I knew if I missed it at Broadway, I’d have to wait like 15 minutes for another…

Chaos in the Wool Inn. Some Rowan Felted Tweed may have, uh, fallen into my basket. http://twitpic.com/qahd5

@Kat13v Unfortunately no, it’s a bus trip! We’re going on to Windsor to check out the Scarf Exchange.

@DDsD Yeah, I’m probably the youngest by about a decade!

@missamanda Penrith. It’s pretty tiny though…

The mob has moved on to Blue Mountains Honey. Yum. http://twitpic.com/qap9m

Lunch break in Kurrajong. Gee it’s pretty up here. http://twitpic.com/qb0dq

Am feeling the strange urge to learn weaving. All the pieces here I like best are woven. Plus: good skill to have when the Revolution comes!

Finally heading back to Turramurra, then the train to Central. This heat is making me sleepy…

Showered and cowering under the A/C. Not sure I’ll do the Sri Chinmoy 7km race tomorrow morning. I might melt.

Heading to Centennial Park for Sri Chinmoy 7km cross country race. It’s surprisingly not-too-hot!

Given that I’ve never done cross country, official goal is just to finish without stopping.

@carbolicious Yep. Not paved. Remaining on my feet is also a goal! (Skype you guys in like 2hrs?)

#723 in the hizzouse! (Yes, I’m “Fiona” today. Thanks, @mrs_sockvictim!) http://twitpic.com/qelob

@ozgamer You dork. That’s my number in the race! Which is about to start…

I am a running tragic. I just introduced myself to a chick I recognized from her running blog.

I am actually slightly worried about falling behind and losing my way on the course.

Just completed a 7.23 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/8E55P5 #RunKeeper

GPS screwed up a little, but basically the 7km took me 50min. And no walking! http://twitpic.com/qf27n

@ozgamer The tweeting was BEFORE the run. I’m not that coordinated!

@gilmae Nope! Well marked path. Felt sorry for the blind runner though; I watched his handler run him right into a low-hanging branch!

@randomknits Tell me it’s moving north…

On our way to the Boathouse (http://bit.ly/20qzhm) for our anniversary dinner. Seafood extravaganza!

Oysters! http://twitpic.com/q7jz5 Tuna! http://twitpic.com/q7jzn

Boathouse’s signature dish: snapper pie. My eyes rolled & there may have even been a moan. http://twitpic.com/q7q3o

@Diepdin We were reminiscing about when you guys lived nearby! Hope all is well with the house…

3am and the Snook just dragged the portable A/C out of the closet for me. That’s love.

Waiting at Central for the train to Turramurra. Going on a bus trip with the Knitters Guild to Penrith and Windsor…

@gadgetgirl70 I think we went right by your school on our way through Wahroonga!

“Comfort stop” in Penrith near the Nepean River. On to the wool shop! http://twitpic.com/qa9ij

RT @VenessaHunt: RT @Opheli8: MobileActive MD Neil Wiles talks Mobile: http://ow.ly/Dvu0 #myboss

@gilmae I suggested something similar to our team lead, but he doesn’t feel he inspires the necessary fear. And shrinkage.

@thisismywww Americans never were very good at geography. 😛

@Ascasewwen Only thing about Bella I liked was how she kept trying to get Edward to DO IT already. (Too bad he insisted on getting married.)

Confession: Yes yes, there’s lots of stuff #bellashouldhaveread, but I read VC Andrews & Jean Auel and I turned out okay! Trashy books FTW.

@knitabulous In Chippo I chuckle at the girls in gym clothes puffing away. They must have a hard time doing cardio. Keeps them skinny tho!

RT @ebertchicago: My review of “The Twilight Saga: The New Moon” is online. One star. Charisma by Madame Tussaud. http://j.mp/CTlAI // Yikes

@ebertchicago Your link to the original Twilight goes to the wrong film! Poor Paul Newman doesn’t need to be tarred with THAT brush. 🙂

My summer goal of eating as many mangoes as possible is going well. #2 down the hatch!

Sue Sylvester nearly made me cry during #glee tonight. (The episode with her sister.)

@bellsknits Over, if only because the cleaner folds the end so nicely and every fortnight I get to pretend I’m in a hotel.

@bellsknits It’s the only fancy thing she does, but I love it. 🙂

Lesson of the day: Do not make passive-aggressive joke about never getting flowers. Your husband may have been just about to order them.

@brodrigu That’s what I said, but he then provided a screenshot with about 6 different florist tabs open. Whoops.

@brodrigu It was slightly more convincing than that. 😛

@Opheli8 I would, but they haven’t followed me back yet so I can’t DM them. 🙁 #ggd

@Opheli8 Wow, @VenessaHunt and Mansour in the same week. Steve Jobs is probably getting all tingly right now.

@gilmae Me too. This is also why I don’t use lists.

Good day at Spudds. Got 100m on the rower and made a shot in basketball!

Did you hear a scream? It was me. It’s not every day you get an email with the subject line: “My uterus is perforated.” (No, not MY uterus.)

FYI: When you use “uterus” in a tweet, you get auto-followed by women’s healthcare professionals. Apparently.

Just downloaded Star Wars: Trench Run. http://bit.ly/3ukZ9g AWESOME. I shot down some TIE fighters but crashed on my 1st run in the trench.

Just grated a massive chunk out of my right knuckle and – in all probability – right into the shepherd’s pie. Extra protein!

@bainsight I’m holding out for the graphic novel version. 🙂
