    @AusVintageGrrl Ha, you didn’t know that? We were pitching to build an iPhone app for it 6 months ago. I was over YTT before it started! 🙂


    @drkknits Hahaha, I sent that link to Rodd yesterday. His reply: “I need Colin Firth’s tailor’s number. Also, his physique.”


    If more academics worked phrases like “kinky bastards” into their essays, I might not have dropped my Honors Program. 🙂 (cc @drkknits)

  • Road rage

    Road rage is in the news. Boofhead Shane Warne had a run-in with a cyclist and is now bitching on Twitter about how we should all be licensed. (Of course, Warnie’s version bears little resemblance to the cyclist’s.) I was also shocked to read about this incident in New Zealand where an American cyclist was knocked off his bike and punched in the face.

    I was just saying to the Snook last night that I actually felt safer riding down the lane with traffic than I did on a bike lane or shared footpath. Now I’m not so sure.

  • The Fixie Bike Index

    The Fixie Bike Index – LOL. An attempt to quantify the “hipster-ness” of various American cities by looking at second-hand bike listings for fixies.

    48 emails! 48! Could somebody please make @drkknits do some actual work already? 🙂


    @toastman WHICH DIRECTION??!


    Whoa. First JD & Kris from @GRSblog yest (http://t.co/Fwc3SM6s), and now @dooce & Jon today (http://t.co/O3VvnWGG). My world is reeling.


    Me to @the_snook: “I think the key thing our marriage has going for it is that we both dislike pretty much everybody else in the world.”


    RT @FoodTrucksSYD: First information session for short-listed food truck applicants today. The trucks are coming!!!!


    @witty_knitter @the_snook @SandraHW Misanthropy is the basis for all the strongest relationships, I think. 🙂

    @eskimo_sparky Not a case study, but have you seen @pose? It’s pretty new, but I think it’s got massive potential.


    @eskimo_sparky Disclosure: I have a profile: http://t.co/1DL244cw I am not remotely a “fashion” person, but it makes me want to buy clothes!


    @eskimo_sparky *sigh* This is what I get for doing Frocktober. But seriously, it’s Instagram + fashion with brand tie-ins. Could be HUGE!


    I can’t ride the bus to work without wrinkling my pants beyond recognition. How the hell did Ange get to Globes in SATIN with NO WRINKLES?


    @DDsD I would not be surprised to find out she’s able to teleport.


    @FlavourCrusader @bellsknits takes photos of her chooks all the time!


    @crumpet I do too. But how is that even possible? Portable steamer? She’s like on another plane of existence from us mortals.


    @GGDSydney My company is advertising for a BA to replace me – care to retweet to the GGD women? http://t.co/PfCOjJxF See you all tonight!


    Trying to talk @kunaal84 into seeing Melancholia with me and @drkknits and @mrs_sockvictim. He is “too busy” for nekkid Kirsten Dunst. Hm.


    Still at work. Not going to make @GGDSydney event. Sorry guys!


    @kunaal84 @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim It’s doubly funny because she was barracking for India the whole series!


    @GGDSydney @blakkat Gahhhh. And I really EARNED a beer (or three) today! Damn. Hope everyone is having fun.
