    Ow. Anesthetic has worn off, and now my knee feels like it’s been hammered and stuck with needles (which it has).


    Oh Internet, you are the Best. Thing. Ever. http://t.co/i5Nd9xNN (I wouldn’t vote for him even if he did a Chicken Dance.)


    Saw some ladies in gorgeous vintage dresses just now in the Rocks. I think @mrs_sockvictim’s show must be filming nearby again!


    @mrs_sockvictim Are you in the neighbourhood then? *waves out the window* 🙂


    @sthcrft Having taught some older people about the Internet at Knitters Guild meetings — Yes. That’s exactly what they think.


    I will admit to being a foodie hipster wanker. http://t.co/OFaKnNMI But I submit to you that no one, ever, has used the term “foochebag.”


    @stringy I use Balsamiq mockups. Love it! You can do simple prototypes, but it’s not as interactive as something like Axure.


    Gnawing on a turkey leg at my desk, just like our caveman ancestors used to do. @ Sitback Solutions http://t.co/n5N2iYRG


    @redambition Yep. They needed them for carving websites into rocks!


    @drkknits @redambition All the caveman hipsters were instagramming their lunches. “TOTES WOOLLY MAMMOTH, LOL.”


    @rainnwilson They had curling irons before electricity. You had to put them in the fire. There’s a scene with one in “Little Women.”


    @drkknits Not for weeks yet! You’ve got to pace your excitement. 🙂


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @the_snook DAMMIT. I HADN’T TOLD HIM YET.


    Congratulations @avechoco and welcome to baby Mitchell!!!!!


    @knitterjp No knitting for me tonight. Stupid knee. I’m really limping. Going to head home and drink some medicinal wine, I think.


    @drkknits At my house, we have the type that comes in a box. I’d claim it was “hipster authenticity,” but really we’re just frugal drunks.


    WTF. Too bad I never registered with the Consulate. From now on, I’m Canadian, eh?! http://t.co/C1sDBUQP


    @witty_knitter @redambition Just updated mine, no dramas. Did it via iTunes though, as I didn’t have space to do over-the-air.


    Sneak peek at the sewing project I just finished! I’m going to wear it to work tomorrow… http://t.co/kbOkUxPg


    @GOGET Have you been hacked? Got a dodgy DM from your account…


    @randomknits Yep, still trying to get the sizing right. I’ll probably make at least one more. 🙂


    @codepo8 Huh. I didn’t realise that ginger males suffered the stereotype of being feisty and firey as well.


    I made myself another shirt! It’s an altered Tova in cotton eyelet. Very happy with it! http://t.co/pNAUFwMZ

  • Foochebag? NO. Just no.

    “Foodies are the new hipsters” – That’s fine. I’ll admit to being a foodie hipster wanker; guilty as charged there. But I adamantly deny that anyone anywhere has actually used the term “foochebag.” Just – no.

    @mobilephone_au I don’t think a veneer of “charity” really distracts us from the cynical marketing ploy aspect.


    @TimBags @kunaal84 I’m so excited for you guys! I hope it lives up to the hype I’ve given it. Take pics of anything interesting!!


    The Perils of Successful Crowdfunding http://t.co/GD7SjBfY // Lots of crowdfunded projects are disorganised and miss deadlines. Yep.


    @acatinatree Hey, Chippo is totes creative! Well, the part that has my house in it is, anyway. 🙂


    @witty_knitter @randomknits Our school had a special program with a nursery so teen moms could finish school. It was sadly popular.


    @randomknits @witty_knitter We did have rudimentary sex ed. But our town was boring & some kids didn’t see a way out. Sex was distraction.


    What’s an Internet company with no Internet? Sadly, this is not a zen koan.


    @catehstn Yep. Apparently since yesterday. It’s all people from companies trying to cash in on free publicity though.

    @imdominating @Justacogitating Well, I haven’t made it yet. Mine might come out all wonky.


    @drkknits I didn’t know it had a name. I just knew it’s the reason why SOME OF US wear shorts under skirts, and others don’t have to. *sigh*


    @gusseting The phrase “digital diva” makes me wince.


    @drkknits Meh. Can’t get too worked up. We should start a FB page for women who appreciate that line along a dude’s groin. You know the one.


    @drkknits If you can’t objectify the occasional hot Swedish vampire, then teh terrorists have truly won.


    @VenessaHunt As long as you’re not working for the Navy or Coast Guard, you should be okay I think. 🙂


    Second time this week the Google Sydney chef has cooked from my weekly meal plan. Reading my emails? This is getting spooky & annoying.


    Great night catching up with @venks79! Just wish @kunaal84 could have joined us. 🙂


    @kunaal84 @venks79 Poo. Sorry about that. 🙁 Hopefully another meet up soon… *fingers crossed*

    @drkknits Rodd pointed out that I don’t pay US tax (since I’m under reciprocal threshold here). I am the 47%! Where’s my handout, huh?


    Just passed the people camping outside Apple Store. I love my iPhone and will probably upgrade eventually, and even I think they’re idiots.


  • Next Restaurant

    Life is good. Last year we got to eat at Momofuku Seiobo, and this year we’re trying out another of the world’s best: Grant Achatz’s Next Restaurant in Chicago. My friend Kel tipped me off on Saturday that tickets were on sale for the next menu, “Keiseki”. (Achatz has pioneered theater-style ticketing where you pre-pay a set fee and everything is included. Each “menu” is specific to a particular time and place. Keiseki, as you might guess, is Japanese.) As we’re going to be there around New Year’s, it was an opportunity I couldn’t refuse. I bit the bullet and bought us two tickets for December 29th at 10pm.

  • Ho-Hum to Wow! in Gimp

    Ho-Hum to Wow! in Gimp – Ahhh, I wondered if the Gimp had access to the LAB color space. Very cool.
