  • Geekversity on Today Tonight

    If any of you happened to catch Today Tonight last night (which I somehow doubt), the “making extra cash from home” segment heavily featured the Snook’s company.

    @knitabulous I’m at work! Run just didn’t sync up right away, so I had to re-send data from the bus on my way in… 🙂


    Wooo! Got some GREAT feedback on a spec I wrote yesterday. Nice feeling.


    Huh. Just realised that #runkeeper GPS was slightly off today. Corrected points online. Ended up running bit farther than I thought.


    @crumpet There are Americans who agree with you. WTF indeed.


    Anyone know why Army helicopter is zooming over Sydney CBD?


    RT @imdominating: http://www.feministing.com/archives/017214.html <- Oh FFS. Now I want Snook to take MY name!


    For @imdominating and the other RPattz fans: http://bit.ly/iLsE4. Only available for Aussie mobiles though!


    @imdominating Check your email in a few minutes. 🙂


    RT @venks79: This should explain the army helicopters over Sydney CBD (though the article is a few days old) http://bit.ly/JGwfU


    RT @Camee: Damn it people! Leggings do NOT qualify as pants! No one needs to see the exact outline of your lower body! <! SING IT, SISTER.


    Rodd: “re: surnames. Maybe we should switch :)” Me: “You mean I’D BE THE SNOOK??” Too weird!


    @misswired Considering that it took SEVEN YEARS for him to comment on my blog, don’t hold your breath.


    Not feeling like going to knitting tonight…


    @steven_noble Just booked for SMC. Perhaps we’ll finally get to meet, neighbour! 🙂


    Feeling like I need to zone out a bit. Guitar Hero is in order, I think.


    Didn’t end up playing GH after all. Instead put my head down and finished bunch of work on Knitters Guild site. Pretty boring, really.


    It is a morning where everyone at the bus stop is wearing TOO MUCH PERFUME. I didn’t realize they even made Exclamation! anymore.


    @knitabulous HA! Not bloodly likely. Just allergies and a bit headachey.

    Planning a trip to Adelaide, Alice Springs, and Uluru in October with Snook and Eileen. We’re going to be sleeping in swags in the Outback!


  • Supersonic Mobile

    Supersonic Mobile – cool stuff for your Australian mobile! (Oh, and also something I worked on. Just launched a couple days ago.)

  • BW3s

    This article about craft beers on tap at Buffalo Wild Wings reminded me how in college we always used to call the one in South Bend “BW-3s”. That inspired me to do some googling, where I learned that it was originally called “Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck”. A-ha! Now it makes sense.

  • Blue Smoke Devilled Eggs

    Blue Smoke Devilled Eggs recipe. What got my attention is that they cut the eggs in half width-wise rather than length-wise, then cut a bit off each tip so they’ll stand up. Neat! Have to try that next time.

  • Food Watch NSW

    Ohmygod. I just installed Food Watch NSW on my iPhone, and it immediately showed me all the eateries near work that have received health code violations in the past year. EEP!

  • Black Star Pastry

    Oohhh, new patisserie in Newtown to try out sometime…

  • Shared today on Twitter

    I have accepted the reality that we won’t make it back to the States this year…


    Confession: I actually love when stupid punk bands speed up non-punk songs. Bonus points for 80’s songs. (Yes, I was closet Lee Harding fan)


    First Leoben was creepy. Now he’s CREEPY HOT.


    RT @imdominating @therealnph the best of nerd vandalism! http://bit.ly/BbkkF <- PHP + drunk + spraypaint = funny.


    @brockleyboyo Yeah, finally making my way through it via DVD. Nearly at end of season 3.


    Just completed a 4.00 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/pZmlC #RunKeeper


    Slow jog with hill repeats on Wilson St. My lower back – which was fine during C2S – is KILLING me now. 🙁


    Snook just got email “confirming” he’d signed petition against US health care reform. Sent website a scathing rebuke. They lie and lie…
