New Poll: Do you send Christmas cards? I’m one of those people that always buys them in November and then somehow never gets around to actually sending them. I’ve got a whole stack in front of me waiting to be addressed. So yeah, I’m sending them this year, but they’re never going to make it…

Jakob says in the future, we’ll all be Harry Potter. Interesting.

I killed QuiltBlog. I’ve just been sorta burnt out with the quilting here lately, and I felt guilty whenever I looked at the stagnant page. So it’s gone. Instead I’ve added a little list of recent craft projects, which you can access down on the right. You can also see the complete list of crafts…

As expected, Australia pounded the Poms again in yesterday’s one-day cricket match. For those of you interested in this sport (which I am rapidly becoming obsessed with), check out How to Explain the Rules of Cricket. It uses a pie-eating analogy. (Yes, it’s a joke.

Since I’ve had a couple requests for it, here’s my Amazon Wish List yet again. I’ve added a whole bunch of stuff. Sadly, I did not add a TiVo or a Segway.

Adriaan of chaotic intransient prose bursts (otherwise known as the guy who wrote Kung-Tunes) e-mailed me yesterday to ask about my Google referral page. I haven’t formally released the code yet, but he was interested so I sent him what I had. Only a day later, he’s managed to combine it with the LittleGreenFootballs script…

TiVo announced that they’ll be adding new capabilities to the set-top box. They did not, however, announce any plans to sell them where I can friggin’ purchase one. 🙁

Those of you already upset over my newfound Martha Stewart-ness will be horrified to learn that I took another step in that direction today: I knitted on public transport. That’s right, I sat down on the train and whipped out my needles and knitted all the way to Bankstown. I am not ashamed of my…

More craftiness… I just shipped a package of homemade Christmas presents off to Mom today, including this bib I knitted for my baby brother. Yes, those are chickens embroidered on the front. (Apparently Mom collects them now, so I’m trying to indulge her.) It turned out a bit… longer than I envisioned, but the basic…
