  • A brief history of yarn in video games

    A brief history of yarn in video games – Offworld – The sight of that Nintendo Knitting Machine ad made me hyperventilate until I got to the admission that it was never manufactured. DAMN.

    Unravel looks pretty cool though!

    @kattjera BTW – I got a referral email that I can send you and we’ll both get $50 off. So if you want to try it, just say so!

    @virtualwolf Not sure what the occasion was. I found out about it through @lucykbain and thought it would be fun. 🙂 Thanks Lucy!

    @catehstn That’s exactly the thing my bully did in the workplace in front of my boss. On my birthday. Gahhh. Still annoyed by that.


    @catehstn Nope. I yelled out “Not appropriate” as he slunk back to his desk. Everyone was happier treating it as a joke.


  • Whatever, ROBOT.

    Eric Schmidt: Apple Music’s human curation is ‘elitist’ – Oh, PLEASE. I signed up to the three month Apple Music trial, and I’ve been really surprised how good it is. I mainly stick to the “For You” tab and the playlists it suggests to me, and I’ve discovered a lot more new-to-me music than I ever did on Spotify (or my very limited use of Google Play). I love the fact that the lists are curated by humans. How in the world would an algorithm ever put together That’s so Fetch: Songs for Mean Girls? That title alone is worth a month’s subscription, frankly.

  • Lark Sew-Along

    Lark Sew-Along: Working with Knits | grainline – Just realised I’ve got the perfect bit of jersey in my stash for this, so I bought the pattern! Time to actually make something with the overlocker.

  • The Road Not Taken

    Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” Is Our Most Misread Poem – Starting the day with Mario and then poetry, because I’m deep like that.

    @TheWonkaTonka Yikes. Hope you’re relaxing with a glass of wine at least!


    @drkknits Oh yeah, Malcolm made a statement. Going down tomorrow. Very exciting.


    @ingridjking @drkknits Yeah, I’ve read that Bishop would be Deputy. But that’s on Twitter; I can’t find confirmation anywhere.


    @ingridjking @drkknits It’s mentioned on Guardian Live Blog, attributed to Sky News: http://t.co/3YEbuoAGJf


    Did Andrews’ repeated insistence that Abbott would win the #libspill remind anyone else of this? http://t.co/nABukITZ5q


    WOOOOOOOO!


    @themaninblue @kouky In my house we’re having whisky now.


    RT @TraceySpicer: Women of Australia, rejoice. #libspill http://t.co/thViyIgZ8B


    @TheWonkaTonka Australia just had a change of Prime Minister. The biggest conservative dickhead in the history of the world is gone!


    @TheWonkaTonka Parliamentary democracy is nuts. But fun. Like a soap opera. Australian Twitter is going NUTS.


    RT @TheRealBnut: @i386 lol, so good https://t.co/EcBYCoaODy


    @TheRealBnut @i386 Seriously? Fucking BRILLIANT.


    Okay, so next question: When do we get the bloody NBN in Chippendale? With a side of gay marriage and a republic?


    @katja_ghost *fist bump*


    AHHH, I made the same joke tonight! But @ToshGreenslade wins for making the effort of finding the clip. https://t.co/gIZk4xuxzZ


    RT @gtiso: A reminder that Australia getting a new prime minister is an ideal time to check your smoke alarms.


    @themaninblue Not on a Monday, with less than 4 hours notice. Sheesh.


    I may have just used the phrase “silver fox” in relation to our Prime Minister.

    I’ll show myself out.


    @developerjack I said I’m going to bed! 😛


    RT @rcsbaker: Great to announce we’ve raised our new fund at @blackbirdvc. $200m to back Aus founders attacking global markets.


    Just booked in to take a 10 week Korean class starting next month! https://t.co/AVRXXii2bX
