• Ask a Korean!: The Obligatory Gangnam Style Post

    Ask a Korean!: The Obligatory Gangnam Style Post – Interesting. He doesn’t really agree with that whole “subversive commentary” angle on the video. It apparently really is just a silly dance song!

    It’s currently 93F in Sydney, and these poor Oktoberfest bastards are in lederhosen. @ Löwenbräu Keller http://t.co/syTcuFfM


    @mrs_sockvictim You need a visa for New Zealand??!


    @mrs_sockvictim CHINA?! Wow!


    @indefensible I had a client interview with charity 2 days ago where they said how effective chuggers are. Won’t disappear anytime soon. 🙁


    @mrs_sockvictim So no knitting Monday? When do you go?


    @aimee_maree I recently gave (Mac) Gimp another go and I am finally converted. Does what I need it to do without too much hassle.


    The nutter on the mobility scooter blaring ‘Ring of Fire’ is keeping pace with my bus. #fml


    @aimee_maree Yes, I’ll never pay/pirate PS again. Two blog posts: http://t.co/Xdwgehyu http://t.co/PEv1423V


    Long carb-filled week + discussion of antacid led pharmacist to ask me when the bub was due. In front of @kunaal84. HORROR. #pretzelbaby


    @kunaal84 Most of the time I love my Korean pot belly. Comes with the territory, I guess!


    @drkknits Totes preggo. Curse of the pot belly. All my water weight goes right to my navel!


    Congrats to @TimBags and Stef on their wedding anniversary! Hope they have a fantastic time at @momofuku Seiobo tonight… #jealous


    RT @Salon: It’s not Mitt Romney’s wealth that makes him unpopular — it’s his snobbish elitism http://t.co/4j1l2B51 via @sallykohn


    @TimBags So how was it? Still in post-@momofuku coma? I want photos!


    @VenessaHunt Congrats again! Incidentally, I had like 3 of your previous coworkers send me that. I’m like, I SAW IT ALREADY ON FB DUH. 🙂


    Making my SINGLE LADY GROCERY LIST for the week. Wow. Shopping for one is a challenge, but I’m buying a lot less!

    RT @indefensible: Mylife is so child-free that I just heard a crying baby and wondered whose fucking ringtone it was.

    The Snook’s ‘town hall’ style company meeting today included an actual live appearance by PSY doing the gangnam dance. Not kidding.


    @stufromoz Yup. http://t.co/x1NU9pyS


    The Whitlams’ “Buy Now Pay Later” makes me tear up every single time.


    I love it when a dev says, “Do you know much about symlinks?” and I get to impress them with the fact that I do. #hermione


    My Mom and I look similar enough that even iPhoto gets us mixed up. http://t.co/dZwS4JB0


    @kattjayne Heh. I’ve seen Amanda play a couple times in Sydney, and I have a bunch of her albums. 🙂


    Congrats to @venks79 on his new role at Yahoo7. All the coolest people work in the Rocks! 🙂


    @jasony Well, it was live in the Korean office and streamed to theirs. Still… 🙂


    Shocking news to wake up to. I’m so sorry for the Meagher family. Also enraged that women – myself included – now feel less safe in city.


    @missamanda Whoa. That’s… not cool.


    It’s #walktowork day, and I’m stuck in a cab on a way to a client meeting. Three days ago I had never even heard of Naremburn.

    Did Blowing into Nintendo Cartridges Really Help? – Mental Floss – Huh. They say no. But I say it DEFINITELY made a difference. Also, I am still envious of my friend Steve’s top-loader. I played that a lot senior year of college…

    @laimelde Good grief, I walk past that place at least twice a day. Will check it out. Thanks!


    Looking forward to practicing my hemming skillz tonight at Sew Make Create! http://t.co/B6zWm5Eq


    @steven_noble I have a Chrome plugin that lets me annotate, but not with fancy handwriting fonts.


    @steven_noble Ah. I think it’s probably done just with handwriting fonts and special brushes in Photoshop.


    @VenessaHunt Good. I’ve reported 2 companies to ACMA in recent wks for spam act violation. Must have unsubscribe!


    @VenessaHunt Well, that’s better than NOTHING, and then lying to me when I report them. (*cough* GRAYSONLINE *cough*)
