Harry Potter wizards in other movies. Neat! Infographic charting which wizards have appeared in other films together. I would’ve guessed something like Sense and Sensibility to have the most, but there’s actually one with NINE. Wouldn’t have guessed that one.

@DDsD I assume it’s because you don’t want to open the door when the frontloader is going, but it’s fine on a toploader.
I love having my ability to do my job passive-aggressively challenged.
The light at the end of the tunnel keeps moving. STOP MOVING.
@drkknits Patience is wearing extremely thin… (Oh, the stories I’ll tell at Knitting Camp!)
@ptinutz Ooh, I thought that pattern was unavailable! It’s so cute; well done. 🙂
You guys. I’m kind of a genius. #morethanmeetstheeye (cc @kunaal84 since they’re for his birthday!) http://t.co/5MHQ24v http://t.co/Pyqisph
There are Tim Tams INSIDE the choc chip cookies. Like I said: GENIUS. They are SO GOOD. (@imdominating @carbolicious) http://t.co/21WHB3J
Tim Tam (and Oreo!) Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies: http://bit.ly/hu62st. @kunaal84 is gonna be one happy boy tomorrow!
@drkknits Lucky YOU! I think I need to make these for Camp… 🙂
Just sent what is hopefully my LAST EVER Knitters Guild sub-committee report. #retirement
@LivingSocial Sent! Would be good if you could get it fixed. Very frustrating.
Just updated to Firefox 4. Is it just me, or does this look a LOT like Google Chrome? At least Chrome doesn’t do variable width tabs.
Firefox 4 has reordered the right-click menu options. Keep opening links in new windows instead of tabs. Curse my muscle memory!

Tim Tam (and Oreo!) Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Sometimes I amaze even myself. I knew I wanted to make some sort of sweet treat this week as a belated birthday gift for my friend Kunaal. (He was overseas on his actual birthday a couple weeks ago.) Kunaal has a serious sweet tooth, and he is partial to chocolate. I suddenly remembered seeing Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies being linked on a bunch of food blogs recently. “But self,” I thought, “Oreos are kind of a novelty here and they’re really more American than Australian. WHAT ABOUT TIM TAMS?” Tim Tams, for the uninitiated, are just about the best chocolate cookie in the world. They’re an Australian icon, and everybody who visits and tries them gets addicted. What better way for an immigrant like myself to symbolize the two cultures than by baking one national icon inside another?
Oh man, they turned out AMAZING. I was half worried that the chocolate coating would melt and, like, leak out of the cookies or something, but they worked perfectly. I followed Picky Palate’s recipe pretty much exactly. I have to give a big thank you to the Snook, who helped with the assembly. We did half of them with Oreos, and half of them with Tim Tams. (We cut the Tim Tams in half so they were square rather than oblong.) These are some pretty hefty cookies! I let each batch bake for about 14 minutes or so, just until they were golden and lovely. Then they cooled on the tray for 5 minutes before going on to a rack. I was worried they’d be squishy, but they feel pretty robust and I don’t reckon transportation will be a problem.
Such a great idea, and such a great result! Now I want to bake more things inside of things. Hmmmm…

Taking in Jeans
Tutorial: How to take in jeans at the side seams. Brilliant! I have a pair of “boyfriend-style” jeans that gape horribly at the waist. I’m definitely going to do this.

Fighting urge to just say: “You know, this is why nobody likes you.” (Hat tip to @lotsofco, who pointed out it’s the meanest thing EVER.)
Equinox. Aren’t I meant to be able to stand an egg on end or something? I seem to remember doing that in elementary school.
RT @lotsofco: @supercres Belated but sincere congrats on the nuptials!!! // SAME FROM ME TOO! Congrats!!!
I think I just found a typo in the BABOK! What do I do? I feel like a siren should be going off. Is there someone to email?
@imdominating YES. I recently witnessed someone piling them up on a table to “throw away after.” I was totally grossed out.
@wheelyweb Heh. Was hoping for something a little more specific. I *did* look on the website!
@wheelyweb Heh. You weren’t the only one. 😛
@innerwestlive In general I think they are way less energy efficient. We researched last year and ended up getting 2 stacking separates.
@bakevin Thanks. It’s just a tiny typo, and I only noticed it because I happened to highlight that passage. Will email you. 🙂
Hang on, Barry. You’re only cutting monthly fares? Where’s MY bribe? I guess he only wants votes from suburbanite train commuters.
@henrytapia No. As @gilmae points out, I’m an Inner West commie greens supporter. Sometimes I even WALK to work. So un-Australian, I guess.
There’s a first! Bus driver turned away idiots without prepay tickets who were blocking the queue and making us all wait in the rain.
@lemon_lime Zshuzsh your hair forward and tell then you’re Bieber’s older brother!!
@brown_note Yep, he already emailed me. @bakevin is on the ball! I knew if I put up the BABOK signal, he’d see it. 🙂
@redambition Whoops! They did? They didn’t tell me!
Hmm. @livingsocial just sent me an email with no way to unsub. Unsub link actually goes to sign up on their site. SPAM ACT?!
Someone must have used my email address on @livingsocial. No way to remove it that I can see. Why would I care about deals in Portland?!
Tried password reset on @livingsocial. Told me I didn’t have an account yet, would have to sign up. How is this not spam? Reporting it.
