DAMMIT. Rejected at the Red Cross AGAIN! Because of my stupid knee. If there’s any chance I’ll need surgery, they won’t take my blood. GAHH.

Spiral Cut Ham
Today I learned how they make spiral cut ham. Incidentally, I’m just about to eat a pound of it for my lunch.

@liedra Unfortunately I can’t watch at work, so no idea. Did he get tackled? If they catch, they can run unless tackled or outofbounds.
@liedra If his knee touches the ground, he’s considered down.
@liedra Doesn’t have to be touched by an opposing player. If you’re all alone and you catch and fall over, you’re down!
@Rellarc79 Yes, but man. So expensive.
@drkknits @lemon_lime Given that I am at work in an office, NO. 🙂
@drkknits @lemon_lime I think you are overestimating the degree to which most of us give a shit about the NFL.
@drkknits @lemon_lime You have this weird association of sexytimes and Baltimore that nobody else in the US has. 🙂
@drkknits Not me. ?
@drkknits Oh, it’ll just be spam. You’re on there as exhibitions person. You’ll get spam.
@drkknits Just delete it, I reckon.
@drkknits @witty_knitter Except that login link is misspelled. Hmm.
@drkknits @witty_knitter It was uploaded today. Hack likely. Taking site offline.
@drkknits @witty_knitter They’re not targetting us. They’re targetting our website CMS.
@witty_knitter The fake login form asked people to enter a credit card.
Bright side: at least the Guild site gets so little traffic from logged in users that the actual impact appears to have been minimal.
RT @KnitGuildNSW: PLEASE NOTE that the Guild will NEVER ask for your Credit card details. All payments online are via a secure Paypal site.
RT @KnitGuildNSW: Guild website temporarily down. If you have been asked to log in and provide credit card details, PLS CONTACT YOUR BAN …

That’s the second time @instagram has replaced my @ with a totally random twitter person.
@pixel8ted Nope! Just walked past it tonight.
@pixel8ted Oh right! I saw the sign. Didn’t get to the Bean when we were home – too damn cold. 🙂
@witty_knitter I didn’t either. Discovered later with @Kat13v’s help that they sent so many it clogged mailqueue. Helped contain it, really!
@merrinmez @witty_knitter When I trigger emails, they have better grammar than that one.

Ah, someone complaining about Guild’s “communication strategy” following hack. My mental response is way too crude to tweet.
@drkknits My first thought was “Suck a d*ck,” which just shows you how charming my brain is before coffee.

The w-g Oscar Contest 2013
My ELEVENTH annual Oscar Contest is now open! If you pick the most correct answers, you’ll win a set of FOUR super-powered Avenger Monkeys! You get Captain America (with shield), Iron Monkey, Thor (with Mjölnir), and the Incredible Hulk Monkey. No, I didn’t do any of the lame human characters. If you want a monkey with an eyepatch or a bow and arrow, you can make your own. 🙂
And remember, in the event of a tie, the person that entered earlier wins. So don’t wait too long!
Here’s a body shot of Captain America Monkey. As you can see, he comes with a really sweet shield (painted by Mr. Snook himself!).
A close-up of Cap’n’s face.
Here’s Iron Monkey. (If you’re handy with electronics, you could make his Arc Reactor light up!)
And here’s his face. Sorry, Robert Downey Jr. not included.
Here’s Norse god Thor himself. He’s got a long red cape, flowing blonde locks, and a mystical hammer. (But don’t squish it too hard because it was sculpted out of clay, again by Mr. Snook.)
And here’s Thor’s close-up.
And lastly – HULK MONKEY SMASH!
You can’t tell from the photos, but he really is bigger than the other 3. (Unfortunately socks don’t really allow for a lot of muscle definition, so I had to embroider his pecs on.)

How to explain Hash DoS to your parents by using cats
How to explain Hash DoS to your parents by using cats – I think it’s a bit patronising to say “parents.” I’m sure my Mom would understand what a Hash DoS is better than I would! But it’s a nice little cat analogy that explains it well, I think.
