    @TitusAtticus @lemon_lime No, but if I didn’t realise I needed to turn it on, there must be zillions of others looking at shitty fonts too.


    I just unlocked the “Fresh Brew” badge on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/hQaXdt


    RT @kunaal84: Timely message from a good friend: Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.


    I am so sick of Shur’tugal and I’m less than halfway done with the foot. NEVERENDING ANNOYING SOCK PATTERN.


    @drkknits @bells_g @randomknits I get this perverse thing where I MUST defeat these patterns tho. Frogging would be conceding my victory!


    @DianneKing It’s a nice pattern, really. I just find small cables repeated over and over really tedious to knit!

    Easy recovery run. Calves & shins still a little sore.

    I’m at Elizabeth’s Boutique Café (175 Glebe Point Road, St Johns Road, Sydney) http://4sq.com/gCRqOX

    @redambition Foursquare really needs to add an “I’m on a submarine” badge.


    @lemon_lime Nah, I already did it. Wanted to get it done early in this heat so I stayed close to home. Maybe my next long one…


    If this Shelter had anymore vegetable matter in it, it wouldn’t be yarn. IT’D BE A SALAD. Seriously, worse than Noro.


    Trying to find @tiaramerchgirl at Railway Sq to take her to the MeFi meetup!


    @misswired MetaFilter.com. I’ve been a member for nearly ten years now. We had a small meetup today since a MeFite was down from Brislantis.


    @Diepdin Not far: 4k from Chippo down to Rocks. Used is good, but have to know what you’re looking for! Not much used stock avail now.


    Huh. I didn’t have ClearType turned on. I bet that will help with the eye strain issue I’ve been having.


    @lemon_lime Yeah, I’m used to lovely anti-aliasing on Mac. I just forget that Windows doesn’t necessarily have to look like shit anymore.

    Heading to Newtown for lunch, shopping, and knitting with the SSK folks. How civilized.


    @witty_knitter We’re upstairs at Barmuda and it’s actually pretty nice up here! We’ve got a breeze.


    Robot skirt and new sneakers. @ Newtown http://instagr.am/p/BBIQD/


    @pinkcatknits Especially price. Picked them up at Platypus for $39!


    This M30 bus is clean and roomy and high-tech – BUT NO AIR CON?! We’re all dying here.


    Snookums is looking to buy a bike to commute to work. The one he’s been recommended costs more than my first car. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?


    @gadgetgirl70 I never said it was a GOOD car. 🙂


    @AusVintageGrrl Watching some BBT, are you?

    Just completed a 14.91 km run with RunKeeper – Great LSR at 2:1 R/W. Did half with Miss Fee, which was so fun! Now ice bath.


  • MONA = HotR

    MONA = HotR
    The Snook and I have been giggling over the SMH stories about Tasmania’s new Museum of Old and New Art (or MONA). An eccentric millionaire has built a three-story underground museum carved out of a sandstone cliff and stuffed it full of random art from all over the world. It’s all deliberately jumbled together with no labels. The creator refers to it as an “adult Disneyland.” Hello? This is basically Australia’s House on the Rock. We’re obviously going to have to go.

  • Kimchi

    Note to self: Go through this AskMe about kimchi later and, uh, make all of it.

  • Hip Pressure Cooking

    Hip Pressure Cooking. Neat! In case you missed it, Laura left a comment with a link to her site. I was wary at first that it was just a driveby SEO-riddled linkspam, but the site looks to be a legit source for all sorts of pressure cooking info. I’m especially interested in the series of Beginner Basics that’s about to start…
