    All the nerds are hating on the Star Wars Kinect dance thingy. But I think it’s AWESOME. That robot dude from Cloud City as a DJ? GENIUS.

    Listening to @amandapalmer makes me want to learn to play the piano. I wonder if @knitness would give me lessons? Could I learn as an adult?

    @witty_knitter We already have one! That big thing in the dining room. You can probably see it on CouchCam right now 🙂

    @drkknits But I want to pound on something in a dramatic fashion, like HBC in “A Room with a View”. You can’t play Beethoven on a uke.

    @witty_knitter I chalk it all up to Thesis Brain! Happens to lots of people I know. 🙂

    Asked @the_snook if he could teach me to play piano. “No. It would be like Obi Wan – you’d end up on the dark side.” HA!

    What a week to give up drinking…

    What time does the Arts Preview start? I need photos! Bunting! Ribbons!

    @stufromoz Had previously committed to a dry April. But having a stressful week at work. Very tempted.

    RT @KnitGuildNSW: The Guild stand. Well done all! http://t.co/ajKkjhD5

    @mrs_sockvictim Woohoo! Congrats to the cardy queen!

    @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim Worst. Liar. Ever.

    RT @knitterjp: http://t.co/WoVYmD1z // I got 2nd place! Eww, that display is a bit weird though. Lumpy corpse feet. (Thanjs JP!)

    @drkknits @knitterjp The lumpy corpse feet? No, no you did not. *stern look*

    @stufromoz Yep! Thats cheering. I worked on those FOREVER.

    Seriously, I blocked those socks painstakingly. And now they’re stuffed with, like, newspaper. *shrug* Oh well.

    @drkknits @knitterjp Who would be so anal as to care about that? Fishing line has been good enough for 25 years!

    But how did Bokaclava do? Just head for the sound of crying children!

    @mrs_sockvictim Red is nice! The sock display is a little weird though.

    @witty_knitter Ha! If by “cracked it” you mean “gave up and switched to a less obtuse category,” then yes. 🙂

    Today is not off to a good start.

    @drkknits Didn’t get much sleep. (Power went out & silence woke me up. SILENCE.) Then forgot to leave gate open for handyman. Yawn. Suckage.

    @jenbishopsydney Home + top button.

    Ooh, getting followed by some new Android Instagrammers already. If you want to experience my rampant narcissism, I’m “krishoward” there.

    Yeah. Feeling pretty good about my decision to delete “Draw Something” from my iPhone: http://t.co/hPU0KuE7

    @DomesticJules It’s not a virus. The company sold out to assholes and the CEO publicly insulted the one dev who turned them down.

    @gilmae On Reddit a few folks said “Depict” was a good Pictionary app. Going to check it out…

    Just bought Connectrode to support the dev that didn’t go to Zynga. Fun game, and the dedication to his wife is sweet. http://t.co/KE5V0hNK

    @drkknits Is she an anti-buntite?

    RT @shauninman: My final Draw Something: http://t.co/etwXnrCg

    @drkknits Watch it! Somebody will print your tweets out and stick them her letterbox. (Or maybe @witty_knitter’s. They get confused.) 🙂

    @witty_knitter @drkknits Remember? Somebody printed out some Rav comments of yours? And there was a letterbox and me involved?

    @witty_knitter You’ve forgotten! UOTO. July 2009. Somebody put your Rav comments in CM’s letterbox attributed to me.

    @witty_knitter I forwarded the old email to you. It’s a hoot.

    @witty_knitter You were definitely on the email thread and even replied. You’ve just forgotten. Email will jog your memory.

    @witty_knitter I’m afraid it did rather ruin my joke though. 😛

    @drkknits Did you click it? That’s the joke. 🙂

    It’s Monday night, it’s dark, and I’d KILL for a glass of wine. Or three.

    @drkknits Ha, go for it. 🙂

    I sewed myself a new shirt today! #crafty http://t.co/2i9QNORp

    @rachievaichie It’s the Colette Sorbetto. Free PDF online! Just google it. I added sleeves and left out pleat.

    @rachievaichie Eh, it’s a bit smock-y. I have broad shoulders. But I’ve never made tops, so it was good practice!

    @codepo8 You mock, but sadly even I would’ve hyperventilated over that as a kid.

    @redambition @drkknits Most folks don’t eat a few pieces of fruit a day though. They have a jumbo Boost juice that might as well be Coke!

    @drkknits I was actually admiring this the other day: http://t.co/4GnNqjXj IT’S GORGEOUS.

    Very proud that @the_snook complimented me on dealing with trolls today. Not sure if I’m growing up or just getting lazy though.

    You should follow @shanea – he just ran his first half-marathon! #followfriday

    You should also follow @JennaPrice – or as I will always think of her, Minerva McGonagall. #followfriday

    @drkknits Ah, I don’t think you were witness to my truly epic forbearance in the face of a partyline spouting Liberal.

    @shanea Coincidentally, yes. But it was the champagne and martini that put me over the top, I think.

    RT @sthcrft: I never felt compelled to stop and take photos of pretty things when I drove or took the bus to work #bikeftw.

    It seems my doc has asked Sydney bus drivers to ramp up incompetence to motivate me to do physiotherapy and thus get back on my bike faster.

    It’s Friday, and I’m in too good a mood to respond to trolls.

    @Fiestywenchyone Numbers (from iWork). Very pretty. But I also just use Google Docs spreadsheet a fair bit.

    @crumpet Only one I’ve read of his was Perdido Street Station, which was very cool.

    This morning’s office playlist has included the Karate Kid soundtrack and now Justin Bieber. I suspect Karen is punking us.

    @shanea I think those are both signs you’re having a stroke.

    @mudsurfer Damn. Wish you were in Sydney – my company is looking for Drupal devs!

    Final outcome of My Battle with Australia Post: I’m getting a free book of stamps. More than I expected! Thanks to @auspost for helping.

    @witty_knitter @twelveeyes @Alacaeriel @redambition There’s only so much room in immediate hand distance, & there’s already gears/brakes.

    @witty_knitter @twelveeyes @Alacaeriel @redambition Now I’m envisioning some sort of head-controlled air horn. I like this.

    Phone call from @auspost. No one at Strawberry Hills office will admit to posting the license to me. IT JUST APPEARED, OUT OF THIN AIR.

    And since no one at @auspost will own up to returning it, they aren’t going to pay for replacing it. Pretty much as I expected.

    I did have fun filling out @auspost’s Customer Service Survey yesterday though. Too bad they didn’t have negative numbers on some questions.

    Behold the magical license, not sent by @auspost despite their stamp being only mark! http://t.co/eoplnois http://t.co/Vmoe6phd

    @witty_knitter Option 3: Get on a bike and do some swooping of your own. 🙂

    I’ll stop poking @auspost now. Their Twitter person has been the only helpful customer rep in this whole ordeal. I’m over it, really.

    @witty_knitter But the more bikes we have in traffic, the less terrifying it is for everybody! That’s my reasoning. Screw shared paths.

    Ugh. They take Reader OUT of the Google nav menu and put in a link to “Play”?! UGH. Why can’t I customise that?

    @auspost It’s okay, really. I honestly never expected to get the money back. I just wish there had been an explanation!

    Condom or Android? I’ll admit I giggled. http://t.co/irVLvmy2 (cc @drkknits @venks79)

    @drkknits @venks79 @gilmae There’s only iPhone, iPad, iMac. Everything else was just a knockoff of the brilliant branding. 🙂

    @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.
