Month: September 2009

  • Bacon Cake

    Bacon Cake. No, it isn’t a cake flavoured with bacon. It’s a cake that LOOKS LIKE bacon, and the whole thing is edible including the cutting board. (I still think our meat cake would’ve been tastier.)

  • Buppa’s Bakehouse

    WOW. Must get over to Buppa’s Bakehouse in Newtown. “American-style” baked goods including real boiled bagels, oatmeal sandwiches, and even the uber-trendy cake balls. (Man, what’s with Newtown getting all these great new bakeries? I also spotted Polka Dot Cookies and Cakes recently down the far end of King Street.)

  • Twilight Corn Maze.

    Three words: Twilight Corn Maze. Yes, really.

  • Dune in Lego

    Frank Herbert’s Dunein Lego. Aren’t the eyes of the minifigs supposed to be all creepy blue?

  • WoW Cakes

    Hey Sis, you might need to make the Snook a World of Warcraft cake someday. I can get you a picture of his character so you can start designing giant fondant axes and such.

  • Hotel Toilet-Paper Folding

    Hotel Toilet-Paper Folding. Our cleaner always folds down the end of the toilet paper in the bathroom, and it’s always a happy surprise when I see it. Makes me feel all special. (Incidentally, if you’re looking for a cleaner in the Inner West, let me know. Ours are terrific and they’ve already got a few more clients from us.)

    Seen on FB: “If Obama gave a speech in favor of oxygen, there’s 10% of the country who would suffocate themselves in protest.”


    @Ezzles There’s a new album out, remastered in some special way, I believe.

  • Essential iPhone Apps

    Gizmodo’s list of Essential iPhone Apps for Fall 2009. Several I have… and several I don’t have. Yet.

    @eggheadedguy Don’t appreciate the spam.


    I have officially added a “Halloween Party” tab to my To Do list. Only 54 days to go…


    @bellsknits I also used you TWICE in my “knitternet” preso to Southern group, with screenshots! So may have been some Guild traffic too. 🙂


    @bellsknits Not a big deal, really. I showed them Facebook, Twitter, and RSS reader, and your name/blog happened to be visible on all 3!


    Holy crap! ROUSes are real! http://bit.ly/19HCaI *shudder* Nightmares.


    Storm and lightning have finally arrived in the city. I wondered what you were all on about.


    Going out for my 1st run in 3 weeks. Cough is gone; but half-marathon is off the table. Guess it’s time to start again.


    Just completed a 4.33 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/f6qpM #RunKeeper


    @RTRR No. Doc made me withdraw last weekend. I missed my last 3 long runs; I’d have no chance. 🙁


    The air conditioner in the building just shut off… and suddenly it’s eerily quiet. It must run all the time. I’m freaking out a little.
