Ranked Choice Voting: Does a mathematical algorithm make for better elections? – Yes. This is how we vote in Australia, and I like it a lot.

Reddit: George Lucas knits at my Starbucks every morning
Reddit: George Lucas knits at my Starbucks every morning – HAHAHAHA. It makes me so happy to know that not only are there knitters over at Reddit, they’re geeky and clever enough to make funny knitting-related slams on George Lucas. (Link courtesy of the Snook.)

Momofuku Seiobo | Terry Durack restaurant review
Momofuku Seiobo | Terry Durack restaurant review – WOOHOO! We managed to get a reservation for our anniversary next weekend. It was pretty stressful. They use an online reservation system that opens each day at 10am, and the seats are all gone within ten seconds. Today we had me, the Snook, and Kunaal all logged in and clicking madly. And it worked! Can’t wait for that pork bun…

Just spotted a poster: The Pogues are playing Sydney in April! Debating with Snook whether it would be a rough crowd. 🙂
Wait. THAT was the sexy Glee? They didn’t show anything! I have more romantic moments WITH MY CAT.
@toastman I was waiting to hear somebody’s head asplode. 🙂
Laziness. On the couch. http://t.co/V9vTy1vr
@AusVintageGrrl But I’ll be there with your Patonyle! So not a total loss. 🙂
WOOHOO! Three people clicking like mad = reservation for @momofuku Seibo next Saturday night for our anniversary! HOORAY!
@MiscMarci So not “Blind Fury” Rutger Hauer then.

@AnnaJMcDougall Other people have told me that before!
Best part of going to geeky dev conference: I get to claim smallest size t-shirt on offer. #gddsyd
Ooh! Just got special pin from +1 session! But still no green. #gddsyd http://t.co/Hey8Y3hp
@lukerides @stuartfaz I scored grey. Just looking for green now…
First session on Google+ and +1 integration was great! Now for some Android action… #gddsyd
@gilmae Before the day is out, as Cino is my witness, I will corner some poor Google employee and berate the shit out of them for Reader.
Spinning lack of Android Market review process as a feature, not a bug. Not sure I buy that. #gddsyd
@drkknits 30 seats! It’ll be a miracle if we get a table. 🙁
Amused by how Googlers are trying hard to avoid mentioning iOS or the App Store. Dudes, we know what these “other platforms” are. #ggdsyd
@lukerides I’ve got an extra. 🙂 Was hoping to swap it for a green though…
Ice cream sandwiches! Nicely played, Google. #gddsyd http://t.co/kOnQcG0F
@randomknits Not if you love them.
Scored an extra Google +1 badge for @kunaal84!
@kunaal84 You’re lucky! @nolim1t wanted it but I said it was for you. 🙂
Crap. Think I’m going to get wet on the way home! Might be a wimp and get a cab…
Managed to fight my way into a shared cab. Drenched. Ick.
@mpesce Weird. Snook’s home and ours is fine. Your side of Chippo must be dodgy.
@imdominating In Prague, you can trade him for a car! Hahahaha… 🙂
Strategic use of shared taxi meant I got home with minimal wetness. WIN.
@snarkyboojum FAIL. I used to be you. Then I went Inbox Nuclear and zapped them all (well, into Archive). Now I keep that sucker CLEAN. 🙂
@snarkyboojum Inbox Zero is a zen state of mind. If I don’t make my bed in the morning and clean out my Inbox, I start to go crazy!
@snarkyboojum Oh, I rock the search. But a full Inbox is like those people who have 150 icons all over their desktop. *shudder*
Just posted my pics from Sewjourn! http://t.co/0gtf2eqb I saw @knitabulous and @mrs_sockvictim’s. Anybody else post theirs?
Attempt at @momofuku Seibo booking for our anniversary next weekend: FAIL. All spots gone within seconds. 🙁
