How to nail an interview. I’ve got a couple friends looking for work, and this looks like really good, practical advice (for all of us, really).
Fore-edge painting. That’s really neat! It’s a technique for making a hidden painting along the fanned pages of a book. (Link courtesy of Rebecca’s Pocket.)
Good run this morning. Physio bruised my ass (literally), but she also got rid of 90% of my back pain. I ran faster & easier than usual!
#ravelry-induced hypothesis: hats are the new socks. Discuss.
@glittertrash My psychic knitting sense says we’re still a year or two away from the tea-cosy fad. You have to kickstart that one yourself!

Remember the Knitted Stig? Kate actually took it to the Top Gear AU studio and they’re going to show it! http://bit.ly/RivC0
If any knitters are up and need distraction, I could use some testers and bug finders on the new M&S website!
@twelveeyes Ooh, not sure. I just need an IP address. @AusVintageGrrl – you know the drill. whatismyipaddress.com and send to me for entry!
@twelveeyes Wait, mobile internet or mobile phone? Probably not the latter! 🙂

@knitness Heh. I’ll skip you, Drunky McDrunkerson! 😛

How to Get Punched By Your Wife: “Do you think I’d be a bad Mom?” “Maybe.” “WHAT?!”
@venks79 Yeah. I was yelling obscenities at the cat when I realized it might not reflect well on me maternally. So I asked the question. 🙂

@Timmay83 You’re not actually ON the plane yet, are you? ARE YOU TWEETING FROM BUSINESS CLASS?

Note to Snook: When we finally redo our bathroom, I think we should seriously consider putting in rocket taps. (Or maybe I’ve just been watching too much Grand Designs…)
RT @misswired: squee! an outdoor ice rink in the sydney CBD this winter. http://tr.im/lPIW <- Yay! I can pretend it’s Chicago!
I just learned that my Dad and his wife are moving house… from a post on Facebook. SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE, THE PHONES HERE WORK.

@AusVintageGrrl Stanza = great ebook reader. Bejeweled & Fuzzle to cure boredom. Cha-Ching makes tracking spending fun. #iPhone
@AusVintageGrrl Also: Runkeeper is awesome for tracking runs. WhiteNoise Lite is good for insomnia. #iPhone

I feel like such a dork always being the last person here, but I get so much more done when everybody else is gone. 🙂
Supposed to go for a run and it’s pissing down rain. Hm.
Just completed a 5.53 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/ybcQ3 #runkeeper
@shanea Bad news for Barry and the Apples! 🙁
Everything Tracy Jordan Said in Season 3 of 30 ROCK. I love this. I think I need to start a new blog and call it “Devil’s Avocado.” (Link courtesy of Max.)
Oh, wow! This winter the Sydney CBD will be getting an outdoor ice rink for the first time in 50 years. FUN! I’ll be able to pretend I’m in Chicago! (Except it won’t be nearly so cold.)
