    Just standing at the bus stop, practicing my @TEDxMelbourne and @PubConf speech out loud like a maniac…


    RT @timkaine: We all have to decide whether to be right or do right. If you want to do right, be an optimist. https://t.co/ZheNrKxuFu


    RT @DamonOehlman: I’ve just released an additional 5 tickets for @NodeBotsAU day in Sydney this Saturday: https://t.co/pOueBMfIp0 🔥🔥🔥


    Always amused when growth hackers email me via my blog asking me to review their Canva competitor. Uh, DO BETTER RESEARCH SPAMMERS.


    Me: “I think I might be depressed.”
    @the_snook: “Uh oh! https://t.co/GgoTptLOqB”

    My husband, folks.

    US friends – Let me know if you use Canva and are willing to be interviewed about it by the media. 🙂

    @jdub Thank you. That’s suddenly become a massive pet peeve of mine, and I heard it ALL THE TIME. Even from people who should know better.


    RT @jaredskolnick: Hillary should walk onstage dressed as a Ghostbuster just to rub it in


    Excited to see @thebeastoz! I probably should’ve eaten more. (@ Drama Theatre, Sydney Opera House in Sydney, NSW) https://t.co/8vGUnSAcKa


    Oh, DAMN. As a former stage manager, I winced (through my laughter). That’s gonna be one busy intermission. 😂 @thebeastoz


    @that_alison +1000.


    @that_alison LOL


    Flashback to the start of the evening… https://t.co/RMbHDdjqHb https://t.co/PpCG7zNk9I


    Him: “@Eddieperfect’s pretty much satirising us, you know.” Me: “Yeah, but I satirise my own lifestyle quite regularly.” @thebeastoz


    @kosamari Ha! I’d love to see your thoughts on a knitting curriculum.

    Hey, I’m speaking at @PubConf in Sydney next Friday the 5th! You should come along. https://t.co/fZtTEsQmzL


    LOVE IT! That’s a prompt to get moving on your sweater, @4colorcowboy. 🙂 https://t.co/DBal9Z2oiy


    For the record, I stopped testing and started listening right after this. 🙂 @GuyKawasaki @canva https://t.co/4CHnzi75KQ


    RT @poppiepack: This guy. Always great to have @GuyKawasaki at Canva HQ @canva #goodchat ✌🏻️ https://t.co/yQjjyzsJEP


    RT @ivan_hernandez: I’m proBernie but would vote Hillary as I am a one issue voter and that issue is not opening the seventh seal and usher…


    I took the opportunity to ask @GuyKawasaki for advice for my upcoming @PubConf and @TEDxMelbourne talks! https://t.co/63wIuj9V59


    @MichelePlayfair Yes! Really honoured that @jontv invited me. I’ve got the very last slot of the day, apparently!! @TEDxMelbourne


    Only one more night until we see @thebeastoz! It’s been ages since I’ve been to a play. Can’t wait to see what @Eddieperfect’s come up with.


    RT @thebeastoz: “It’s about six arseholes who think they are good and who discover they are not good.” Performances start tomorrow! https:/…


    Yelled at my first taxi driver while cycling home tonight. @stephenlead would’ve been proud.

    @servantofchaos @bigyahu Anecdotal, but matches my experience as a Gen X woman (who didn’t do a CS degree).
