    @auspost Followed. It was sent to Kristine Howard c/o Mi9 (my employer).


    Mr Snook ordered an Uber pickup. HELLO VALLEY OF THE NERDS. I AM IN YOU. (at @flysjc w/ 17 others) http://t.co/VaFWwt2LSX


    @catehstn Did you come for this GTech conference thing??


    @Ezzles Yikes! They be in the supply closet (first door on the right past kitchen). Don’t think we’ve got any for bedside lights tho.


    @Ezzles I’ll ask @the_snook when he gets up shortly. He’s the Light Bulb Man.


    @lifeasdaddy Cool. I’ve heard of the “Back-to-Back” challenges before in Australia. They also do one that’s raw cotton to a tea towel!


    Interesting. My allergies are going nuts after 8hrs in NorCal, after being fine for 6 days in Indiana.


    @catehstn Rodd’s going to give me a tour of campus today!!!


    @catehstn Where are you staying? We were in GSuite last night, but going to Hotel Strata tonight.


    Checking out of Google Apartment and heading out for a day of Serious Geekery!


    I can cross this one off the Geek Bucket List. (@ Googleplex – 44 w/ 2 others) [pic]: http://t.co/aipkiTDihb


    Googling it up. @ Googleplex http://t.co/4lu6lOWhm7


    @sundress Oh cool! Having lunch at Moma right now!


    @sundress Where do you get a smoothie? And do you know where the ball pit is?


    Buying souvenirs! (@ Googleplex – Google Store) [pic]: http://t.co/6zWh9qL6TI


    Android onesie. For @randomknits. 🙂 http://t.co/b8KI4dUmTO


    Froyo al fresco. Leaving Google and making the next pilgrimage south… 🙂 @ Googleplex – Yoshka’s Café http://t.co/HbCnx5Lzcp


    A final bit of Google insanity. The seat was HEATED! And no, I didn’t hit the Front Cleansing button. http://t.co/bViIkdm3fg


    THIS is more like it! #iFanGirl (@ Apple Inc. w/ 6 others) [pic]: http://t.co/6KDFJQkSlp


    More geeky shopping… (@ Apple Company Store w/ 3 others) [pic]: http://t.co/8j1RSLHBUc


    Jet lag is kicking my ass. Time for a rest. (@ Hotel Strata) http://t.co/tzjVtNEiZk


    I’ve had my new @QueenBeeInc bag for less than a week, and strangers are already stopping me with compliments. http://t.co/YP6bOdBWDN


    @aimee_maree @QueenBeeInc Love them. They made it special for me and got it delivered on time! Great service, and lovely on the phone!


    @randomknits I’m so sorry! Crossing fingers for her from here…


    @surrenderdotty Yeah, I’ve had a couple with my @CamSatchelCo backpack, but I don’t carry it enough. It’s kinda boxy & wide for the bus. 🙁


    @Illdrinn Rodd’s team is moving to that building. He’s excited. 🙂


    @Ezzles How are plants going in heat? Rodd is worried about the lemon tree (the one on the right).


    @Ezzles That’s the lavender he rescued from the rubbish room, so no worries there. 😉 Thanks…

    400 Zyrtec = $16 in the US. I would have probably paid $300+ for it in Oz. WTF.

    RT @craft: WiFi-inspired Sampler: Tumblr user izacless shared this cleverly contemporary take on the traditional sampler… http://t.co/0H5…


    @Illdrinn I’m in the Midwest right now… and that doesn’t shock me. Jesus wants you to eat STARCH ON TOP OF STARCH, dammit!


    @auspost No number. It was simply sent via normal post. 🙁

    I’m told that Google Syd office is installing purchased monorail cars today (as meeting rooms). I’m 50% jealousy, 50% MASSIVE EYE ROLL.


    DMing hipster confessions with @imdominating. I bought skinny jeans yesterday. At Old Navy, no less. *hangs head in shame*


    @imdominating I was THISCLOSE to buying a hot pink plastic Casio digital watch this morning.


    The view that computers are technology but sewing isn’t is a sexist stitch-up http://t.co/OVMeUZW7C9


    Thanks to 20min flight delay, I get one more bit of Midwest nostalgia – CHILI’S! (@ Chili’s Too – @hmshost) http://t.co/6tQlxr5LuO

    @knitterjp @randomknits @drkknits I threw out my mascara before our trip in case it was infected with conjunctivitis. So I need that. 🙂


    @knitdra @drkknits @randomknits @knitterjp I don’t paint my nails though. No patience for that.


    @Helen__H Okay, crazy coincidence: I’ll be in SF from Tuesday night!


    Only 36 hours left in Indiana. Time for a pilgrimage to South Bend…

    @drkknits I didn’t actually go – too much work! But if I see one, I’ll get some. 🙂

    RT @hollijwallace: On average, nine women are murdered each week by a gun used by their intimate partner. #StopThe9 #standwithwomen


    This ND game is giving me a heart attack.


    So I have located only Sephora in 40 mile radius. I know it’s a Thing. What should I look for there? (cc @drkknits @randomknits @knitterjp)

    I’m watching Jamie Durie on US TV, and he’s putting on the most annoying OI CRIKEY OCKER accent I’ve ever heard. What a tool.

    My 12yo brother is playing the trumpet. Suddenly understanding why my parents made me practice mine in the closet all those years ago.
