  • Nike+ iPod Upload Error

    For other Nike+ iPodders: I had an error earlier this week when uploading my latest run. An alert box popped up saying that the “server could not validate” my run data. I did some poking around online and found this method of re-uploading. Unfortunately that still didn’t work for me. I sent off an e-mail…

  • Winter Knitty

    How did I miss the Winter Knitty? I really like Binary, Argosy (especially the Noro version), Piggle (when my hair gets longer, I might have to make one sized for me!), Norberta, and Sheldon. Hmm, it’s all toys and accessories. I didn’t like the garments much.

  • Glitches

    Um… some minor glitches. The sale website might be a little bit late. Later: It wasn’t too late. We got there in the end. There’s still a slight problem with the stock levels – it says a lot of the sale wool is out of stock when we have hundreds of packets in the shop…

  • Done.

    Done. That sale is 95% ready to go. We finished at 11:00 tonight… which means I was sitting in front of a computer frantically uploading products for FOURTEEN HOURS. I’m going to veg all day tomorrow.

  • Bad Customer Relations

    Bad Customer RelationsThere is a Quizno’s in World Square. I would like to order a sandwich platter for the staff who will doing the sale setup tonight. Unfortunately I cannot find a frickin’ phone number for that outlet anywhere. It’s not on their website. Neither phone number on whitepages.com works for them. Who doesn’t publish…

  • Wiiiiiiiii!

    Wiiiiiiii!It’s here! I picked him up tonight from the EB Games on Broadway. We got the Wii, the “Wii Play” pack (which we thought was going to contain an extra nunchuk along with the Wiimote, but it doesn’t), and the Zelda game. Apparently the Australian retailers didn’t get any stock – consoles or games –…

  • Wii Safety

    The Japanese Wii Safety Manual. I’ll have to keep that in mind for tomorrow… WHEN I GET MY WII. (Incidentally, the only picture I don’t get is the one where the Wii’s sitting next to the bags of laundry. What the heck does that mean?)

  • Lenticulations

    Lenticulations. I love these. They remind me of looking through a Viewmaster, that sensation of something being almost hyper-realistic.

  • Hats from the FUTURE!

    Dude, check out these hats from the FUTURE! They look like normal winter caps, but according to the manufacturer, they’re actually made from some space-age stuff that hardens the exact second something hits your head (like the ground), thus absorbing the force like a helmet. And then they go soft again. Does anybody else find…
