Soylent: What Happened When I Stopped Eating For 2 Weeks – I continue to be fascinated by Monkey Chow. A guy did a two week trial on that Soylent meal replacement powder and writes about his results. You know, I’d be totally tempted to do something like that. Interestingly, it wouldn’t save us that much on meals. His pre-Soylent diet was $24 a day? Yikes! I’ve done a quick estimate of our food costs per week, and I reckon it’s maybe $10 a day. Still, Soylent would massively cut down on time spent planning, cooking, and cleaning…

@BriWrites Yep. Gaiman says people always think he made it up. We went there in 2010: http://t.co/QVQMvJ2uid
@BriWrites Carousel is surreal. I also got my fortune from the same machine as Shadow. Bonus: it’s near the Frank Lloyd Wright MURDER HOUSE.
@StuartCRyan @clepetit We have a couple people at @Mi9 doing interesting things with Atlassian products…
@StuartCRyan @clepetit Probably not me, but I can ask around and see if anybody’s interested!
@StuartCRyan Oh, I’ll present at the drop of a hat. Just not sure I have anything cool or relevant for that crowd to discuss! 🙂
@StuartCRyan Sadly, I think it’s too short notice for the people I had in mind here. Sorry…
Oh good grief. Sportscraft have introduced a LIBERTY HIPSTER HAT. http://t.co/hYgiXkfQW8
@zephyrama @AusVintageGrrl Their incidence among the non-hipster population is sadly dwarfed by their popularity with hipster douches.
@StuartCRyan Unfortunately not – we’ve got a team event on all afternoon/evening. Maybe next one though! (Is there a mailing list?)
It is a legit problem that I actually like my job, project, and team so much that it’s hard to leave the @Mi9 office sometimes. #shmoopy
@StuartCRyan I thought I was on it before, but maybe didn’t re-register after it moved from old system. Will sign up again. 🙂
The next time I start bitching about how much work the @KnitGuildNSW Camp has been, remind me that I’ve met some genuinely wonderful people.
@drkknits I just had the nicest talk with a fiber artist who’s married to a SWORDSMITH!
@drkknits She said she’s got 50 beardy dudes camping in her garden this weekend for some sort of sword making event. TOTES YOUR SCENE!
@drkknits As the Snook put it, “Mittagong hippies, man.”

@pyko Woohoo! I had a very UNproductive weekend, but on the plus side, I think I’m finally over that cold. 🙂
@surrenderdotty I always make a point of sitting with those people.
@surrenderdotty I also always sit next to people who put their handbag on the seat, or dudes who splay their legs open.
@surrenderdotty Whether I’m punishing them or myself is probably a fair question.

@janiematts I wish I’d seen that before I got on the bus at Wynyard. 🙁

@drkknits I didn’t even have a bad day and I ate a cupcake within 5 minutes of walking in the door. #fail
@drkknits I told him to take all three to work with him. He just took one. THE FOOL!
@drkknits Holy shit. *bows down*

RT @the_snook: Why does @twitter mobile site not allow zooming in on images? People tweet memes and I can’t read them.
@brittanieshey The One. Friend me on there if you like! I am better at sleeping than walking though. 🙂
House filled with smoke due to candied bacon in the oven. Really. #hipster #baking #prototype
Prototyping for RSPCA Cupcake Day. I call it “The Elvis”: banana cake with a peanut butter centre,… http://t.co/6hTaWiVoL5
@drkknits Yeah, Twitter cut off full description. And honey buttercream. 🙂
@aunty_toots Only a timer though.
@aunty_toots Nah. It was for a productivity talk on Pomodoro technique. Needed to be a tomato timer! But I got away with just a photo.
@Ezzles Near Chippo today? I’ve got a few left. 🙂
@stufromoz I got egged on Parramatta Rd in a mixed group (no handholding). Some people are just assholes.
Just had to book an extra conference room for the @KnitGuildNSW Camp due to “unprecedented demand.” BOOYAH.

I just donated to the @adainitiative because #opensource will be a lot better when it’s built by 50% women, not 2% http://t.co/2ogdKk4Pu6
Hi Sydney. I have an idea that requires big crystallised rock candy (not the stick kind with pictures on it). Got any idea where to buy?
Starting to feel like myself again, though sinuses are still buggered. Oh, and now it seems the Snook has caught the lurgy. Poo.
Best night of sleep in a week. Really starting to feel better. #Fitbit http://t.co/cwywDryq1L

@RoseRed_Shoes I just sent you a DM! 🙂
@zosainsbury No no, you’re thinking about the support group. This is the BLUE MAN GROUP. I can see how you got confused. 😛
@zosainsbury Haha, that’s a quote from Tobias on the show. 🙂
Great, inspiring talk by @twalve today at @Mi9 on Responsive Design!
Just realised I never ate my lunch today. I like my job, but I need to learn how to be healthy at it.
Came home and got straight into bed. The Snook even brought me dinner in here. I AM LE TIRED. #stillsick
