    Knitters: I just got a message from Anna!! Matthew Wesley Lo born at 12:30 am this morning by C-section. Photos coming soon!


    @smark31 I’ve emailed it from my phone. Let me know if that doesn’t work for you…


    RT @phillydotcom: Philly-based bloggers @tomandlorenzo celebrate Supreme Court ruling by proposing, reports @phillygossipDN http://t.co/uiY…


    Yikes. What if KRudd moves the election to @KnitGuildNSW Camp weekend?!


    Official @KnitGuildNSW Camp Update: We’re up to 20+ attendees now. Don’t wait too long to book your spot!


    There is *something* on my nose! (Thank you @RoseRed_Shoes!) http://t.co/2vb1HQ7USR


    Noticed from the lift on my way home: CBA staffers putting a rainbow on the bridge! #unity #equality http://t.co/o3O6umoV8X


    @ericscheid 5C? It’s CBA’s offices at Darling Harbour.


    @ericscheid Oh. No. I’m an ES BA. ES BA’s are based at SOP mostly, but the project I’m on is at CBP L6. Til tomorrow anyway…


    @ericscheid Tomorrow’s my last day! Should’ve told me before. 🙂


    @witty_knitter I think so. CBA is great for GLBT rights. There’s a group called UNITY on internal chat with 600 members!

    @witty_knitter I suspect @ozdj can tell us about it. He is the font of CBA knowledge. Derek – how supportive is CBA of GLBT community?


    @randomknits Tweetbot says its been 2 hours.


    @ozdj Awww, thank you!


    RT @ozdj: All the best to @web_goddess on your last day at CommBank. Keep on being awesome as you take on the new gig. Their gain = our lo…


    . @aknevitt Have you been hacked? Or did you mean to DM me a diet link?


    For the last time as an employee! (@ Commonwealth Bank Place) http://t.co/uBgXmvV8df


    RT @the_snook: Houston, Tranquility Base here. The eagle has landed. http://t.co/qvt0oeVi1G // KITCHENAID IS HERE! Thanks @HouseRetailAus!


    @the_snook That is a bigass box.


    @HouseRetailAus @the_snook RED! But it’ll look even better once the Wonder Woman decals I ordered from the US arrive. 🙂


    @HouseRetailAus @the_snook Will do!!

    Paraplegic mum goes duct-taped surfing on South Australia’s West Coast | The Advertiser – This is pretty much the sweetest thing ever. I’m so impressed he’s able to get up and stay on the board with her on his back!

    I just bought Wonder Woman decals for my new KitchenAid mixer. I am such a parody of myself it isn’t even funny.


    @aimee_maree On Amazon. Just search for “Amazonian Princess decal”, hilariously. Won’t ship here so my sister will forward to me.


    RT @PPact: All eyes are on @WendyDavisTexas–only 4 hours to go! RT if you’ve got her back. #sb5 #txlege http://t.co/mVIRgXRHDp


    @randomknits HEAR HEAR!!


    RT @robbedy: I’d be great at filibustering because I’m amazing at talking when people are trying to get shit done #wendydavis


    Trying to get one last shot of the monorail before they shut it down this weekend! #nofilter http://t.co/voWyeeKPv2


    RT @MikeElk: RT @valentinasweet This is why I always wear sensible shoes. Because #feminism #standwithwendy


    RT @i386: Thank you for serving Prime Minister @JuliaGillard. You did admirably.


    From Wendy Davis in Austin yesterday, then the Australian leadership spill last night, and waking up to the DOMA news? Whiplash. But happy.

    @drkknits You’re coming to the Bowlo tonight, right?


    @drkknits I’ll leave at 5 on the dot and head to 99 York!


    @stufromoz They were always going to do that. A symbolic victory and stalling tactics were best we could hope for!

    @msmorrisk @ilagile @roykravat They gave out decks of PP cards at Scrum AU in April. I’ve still got mine!


    RT @smh: At $113 a week, this is Australia’s cheapest car to own & run. http://t.co/pkFhm8G5Mh // Wow. This is why I’m with @GOGET instead!


    @roykravat @katemorris Did you take the test? Or do you do that after?


    Omg. Hart is THE BEST. @drkknits @imdominating You guys will love that. Click all the video links! http://t.co/A8sOvCiGSR


    Knitting as political protest. #knitgate http://t.co/I8Mltqr2XB


    QUESTION: Is Anna Kendrick actually singing?? This changes everything. @lotsofco @imdominating


    I actually just said: “Oh, she incorporated his song! WAIT. THAT EXACT THING HAPPENED AT THE END OF BRING IT ON.” Still awesome.


    @lotsofco @imdominating Well, that movie was CHARMING. (My fave was the Indian rapper that I just realised is also on the Mindy Project.)


    @lotsofco @imdominating So I thank you both for the recommendation! (But I still think it’s totes lame to cry at Breakfast Club.)


    @mh4k Personally I find them adorable. Just can’t get them to look right on me though.


    Holy crap. House has KitchenAid mixers on sale. I just bought one! Thanks for the tip, @halfwrittentale!!


    Realised I was at pub last night with people from Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft. My inner 22yo geek was freaking out. #livingthedream


    @imdominating @lotsofco Yep, been meaning to watch forever and got inspired when Max and @realtimshady liked it!


    @imdominating @lotsofco Not that I don’t trust your taste in movies… (”Roadhouse” notwithstanding.)


    @knitdra @RoseRed_Shoes Well, it had to match the kitchen, of course… 🙂


    @knitdra @RoseRed_Shoes Nah. I’ve got a designer kitchen now; I’m going to suppress my wacky impulses and have it all MATCH!
