After seven years of chasing after him, the cops finally caught Malcolm Naden. Wow. Our criminal is no longer on the loose!

@auspost Strawberry Hills. I sent through an official complaint on January2nd. Reference #VH1967710. Got meaningless form response back.
@fitocracy Is there some way to delete my account? I’m just not using the site; would prefer to remove my details rather than leave up.
@auspost Thank you. I have the packaging that was used to return the license. I’ll take a few photos.
Wow. I may end up getting compensated from Australia Post for the replacement license after all!
Awesome. @dooce talks about her experience on #paleo and why she loves it: http://t.co/LodxGW94. (cc @drkknits)
Wheee! Got another delivery from Heartbreaker today. This means I now own TWO wiggle dresses. Me. TWO.
@randomknits @gusseting Ooh, ooh, I didn’t realise they were being sent out! How excitement.
@that_alison Nope. But I line dried it. There’s something on the site about how you should only tumble dry it if you want it to snug up…
@Ezzles Bwahahaha… What’s it say underneath? Baratheon? (cc @drkknits @kunaal84) http://t.co/Zx4ERufv
New dress from Heartbreaker. Hello, sweetheart! http://t.co/rg8TDEgD
@Alegrya Me too! My friend @Opheli8 got a similar one last year and I thought it was super cute.
@Opheli8 Odds aren’t great that I’ll go. Got too much on! Trying to finish some projects for Saturday deadline.
Sydney retro fashionistas: In order to pull off the wiggle dress, I’m gonna need some shapewear. Where can I go to get fitted properly?
@drkknits @kunaal84 It was “comet”. 🙂
@drkknits Excellent….
@drkknits The fun part was figuring out whose six pack I was going to draw.
Every now and then I knit something that disturbs even me. http://t.co/vG0a7hSM
@Justacogitating Once he has ears and horns it’ll be even better.
@rachievaichie Because most of the other stuff in the Easter Show knitting competition is boring as.
@AusVintageGrrl Do you read Teer Wayde’s blog? I think she linked to some recently…
@mrs_sockvictim @drkknits It’s an iPhone/Android game called Draw Something. Addictive… but I think I’m over it already after one week.
Spent 20min researching Contour by @jamasoftware. Why no pricing shown on site? I need to know if it’s too expensive to bother demoing.

Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo’s Dingoes Are Growing Up Fast! – So cute! I really must take the Snook to their Australian exhibit the next time we visit.

10 Reasons the Rest of the World Thinks the U.S. Is Nuts – The Huffington Post
10 Reasons the Rest of the World Thinks the U.S. Is Nuts – The Huffington Post – This spot-on rant might just as well be titled: “10 Reasons Kris Doesn’t Live in the U.S. Anymore.” I am very lucky to live somewhere where my employer has no right to know my reproductive status and no means to attempt to control it. Religious freedom my ass…

What Australians Eat
What Australians Eat – This is pretty shocking stuff (to this caveperson, anyway). As the Snook put it, “The average australian eats 2kg broccoli in a year. I think we eat that in a month.” I was also depressed by this: “When we cook, a Westfield survey found more than half Australians rotate between a repertoire of five meals or fewer.” No wonder bread, junk food, and fries are so popular.

Today I learned that you can lodge a protest against Easter Show judging for a mere $25. Interesting. Interesting…
@witty_knitter The $25 gets forfeited if they think your protest is “frivolous”, so I wouldn’t even lose the money! THIS IS TOTES WIN-WIN.
My co-worker saw Michael Cera at Wagamama on Saturday. Damn. I’m so annoyed I didn’t find out about that show early enough to get tickets.
@stufromoz Nice. The knitted womb pattern is pretty old, but the protest is new…
RT @the_snook: MRRT is not a tax. It’s just making miners us pay a fair market rate for their inputs. Inputs that belong to everyone. ht …
@stufromoz I blogged it. I’ve got too many projects on the go now to engage in protest knitting, but I’m sure others will be interested!
@mrs_sockvictim We discussed cycling, but will probably take the GoGet car. Have to go earlyish as we have a lunch to attend after.
GAH. 2.5 months after they lost it, @auspost have sent me my drivers license. No note. No explanation. No refund of my $25 either.
@mrs_sockvictim Not sure if I’ll be done by then! Still some sewing up to do…
Strata AGM makes the Knitters Guild AGM feel like a party. *sigh*
Went to a lot of trouble this morning to get client a file that she wanted, and she replied, “Thanks Karen.” Isn’t it always the way…
@auspost It wasn’t lost in the post. It was lost AT the post office while claiming a parcel. The clerk insisted that she’d given it back…
@auspost …but yet now, 2.5 months later, mysteriously it turns up and is posted back to me. Long after I’ve gotten a replacement.

What she really said: Fighting sexist jokes the geeky way!
What she really said: Fighting sexist jokes the geeky way! – This is brilliant. Granted, the only people I know who use “That’s what she said” in real life are Rodd and Kunaal, and it’s always funny to me when they do it. But I can see where it’d get annoying if people kept doing it after you said not to. Major, major respect to Jessamyn for fighting back with her brain! (I wish I was more of a programmer.)
