    @goshling Hey, I got my FitBit! What’s your name there so I can friend you?


    @goshling Invite sent!


    Lunch with Aine and Kaz! (@ Blend On George) http://t.co/oW115FXU


    They are playing NKOTB in the office. Everybody is freaked out that I know all the lyrics. Including me.


    @imdominating I told them all how you got NKOTB tix for Christmas one year. I compared it to a 12yo girl now getting 1D tix. #soepic


    @feed_the_chooks Ha! I’m a knitter & made the mistake of saying similar. “Knit Grafittists” then attacked me. They are sensitive snowflakes.


    @feed_the_chooks Ugh. It was 3 years ago, and I was tired of it then. http://t.co/b0svvP0R


    I am on the bus to Guild. I am definitely running late.

    Tonight we introduced Scott Wellstead to Guitar Hero. It’s amazing the difference a professional singer makes to our “band”!

    Kris’s Law: As soon as I get a sleep tracker, my sleep starts being great. As soon as I get real time bus GPS data, I catch all the buses.


    @drkknits Or I am a GOD. Apparently my observing a thing causes the universe to bend to my will.


    I have recently become addicted to Fruit Ninja. Then I saw a girl on the bus playing this morning and she looked RIDICULOUS. Now I’m sad.


    @nolim1t I’ve got that one, the Fitbit One. However it doesn’t work with my iPhone 4, so I can only sync with Mac via dongle for now.


    @miftik Dont’ have an XBox. I’m happy playing it on iPad and iPhone. I just meant she looked silly playing it in public. πŸ™‚


    @nolim1t The annoying thing is both my Macs have Bluetooth 4, but it still requires dongle. Apparently they’re working on it.


    @nolim1t And the dongle is TINY. I don’t want to carry it around for fear I’ll lose it.


    @toastman Or the “HapiFork”. http://t.co/xs50AYl1


    @drkknits Are you also ordering your new computer yet?


    @TheBACoach Friended! And you’re kicking my butt today. Oh wait! It’s way later where you are. Now I don’t feel so bad. πŸ™‚


    @drkknits Oh man. I don’t want to sound too hipster, but new Mac unboxings are such a magical experience. πŸ™‚


    @TheBACoach I am. But I’ve got an iPhone4 and it doesn’t sync with that, so I can only sync via a dongle at home til I upgrade phones.


    @witty_knitter @drkknits Hahaha, you have both drunk the Kool-Aid. πŸ™‚


    @drkknits Don’t let us give you unrealistic expectations. You will have frustrations. Sometimes things break. Apple are not perfect.


    @drkknits They just make more of an effort at an emotional connection to electronics than other companies do. Some people respond to that.


    @stufromoz Having worked with a charity recently – they know. But spruikers are MASSIVELY effective for them. It’s depressing.


    @stufromoz It’s like spam. You are not the target audience. πŸ™‚


    @stufromoz It is, though. I saw numbers. Spruikers far and away best return on charity marketing spend. πŸ™


    Congrats to @Sitback team (including me!) that worked on launch of http://t.co/2sVpnMKB mobile site! Check it out on your phone. πŸ™‚


    @randomknits @drkknits Huh. I don’t mind iPhoto. I haven’t used other photo management software though.


    @knitterjp Wanted to go, but hair situation is desperate. At the salon instead. πŸ™‚


    I feel the need for a big change. Colour, length, or both? (@ Travis George Hair Lounge) http://t.co/5jZGbrhO


    @drkknits But I’m so booooorrrrred with it!


    @drkknits @BendalongMorgan So you want me to look like… a tiger. Yeah. Not gonna happen. πŸ™‚


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits Just consulted with Ruth. She has a vision. Shorter. Lighter. With perhaps some chunky reddish bits.


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits I’ve had that. Twice. It’s fun, but all your pillowcases go pink and it’s so much upkeep. Fades fast.


    Started by chopping off a couple inches… http://t.co/2PLXbUAG


    There is a lot of foil happening. I always feel vaguely guilt about that, in a bleeding-heart Greenie way. http://t.co/pICWiEH1


    @drkknits Aluminum is a non-renewable resource!

    @drkknits I think the Aniston-mess is due to the blow dry. Tucked behind my ears it looks much more “Kris.”


    @drkknits You’ve mistaken me for my cousin @imdominating. She’s the one who likes it kosher. πŸ˜› (Bazinga.)


    @MetalheadMick You mean Goodfellas. πŸ™‚


    RT @Y7News: LATEST on fire at #Sydney’s Lansdowne Hotel http://t.co/GHH1sYfF // Whoa, just saw it as I left for work. 1 block from my house!


    @randomknits @redambition Thinking about signing up for Gertie’s online class to help with Tiki Anxiety: http://t.co/sMLRnlG8. Thoughts?

    Someone is playing “Red Solo Cup” in the office. That person is not me, but I’m still enjoying it.


    I don’t understand why, with Sydney’s supposedly sophisticated coffee culture, I can’t get an iced coffee without friggin’ ice cream in it.


    @toastman I am avoiding ice cream for the sugar, which unfortunately rules out coffee with sweetened condensed milk. πŸ™‚


    @discoknitter Any chance you’re going to Guild? I still have your boxes from Halloween!


    Just got a phone call from Enmore Theater making sure I knew about @amandapalmer’s Aussie shows being rescheduled. Great service!


    @witty_knitter @drkknits I got excited when I saw that out of context and thought a group Guild escape was happening. Got my hopes up.


    @drkknits @witty_knitter The immediate context in my brain was PRISON BREAK. So not a getaway. πŸ™‚


    Anatidaephobia. @ The Giant Duck http://t.co/YUBkzKPw


    I ran into @redambition in Darling Harbour and both of us were wearing @ColettePatterns Sorbettos! I’m calling it. It’s officially a Thing.


    I’ve walked 10297 steps today! First time I’ve hit the goal. πŸ™‚ http://t.co/N9mqExNx #Fitstats


    @GeorgieKnits @randomknits I did! I haven’t done anything but drool over it yet. Everything in it seems so beyond me.


    RT @Salon: “Arrested Development” creator: The season “will look very different…” http://t.co/uMtZVAvJ cc @drkknits @kunaal84 @the_snook


    @kunaal84 @drkknits @the_snook That’s what I’m wondering, how we can get our hands on it over here…


    @Ezzles Yes! I just got it for Christmas. You’re my first friend on there!
