Feasting on Fiddlehead
Feasting on Fiddlehead – I’ve never had fiddlehead, but they look so amazing! It’s a very seasonal, regional food, isn’t it?

@drkknits OOH, nice!
FFS Facebook. Why am I still getting push notifications about people checking places? I have that TURNED OFF. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THEM.

@glittertrash DPNs are so annoying. I never use ’em. I always do the two-circulars method for everything!
@glittertrash It can do any size tube: thumbs, socks, sleeves, hats, you name it. Google “socks on two circulars”. That’s how I learned.
@glittertrash There’s also the “Magic Loop” technique, which is very similar but just uses one long circ.
@konterkariert @joshprice @nolim1t But I love my Toodledo already. Is Clear’s UI really worth switching?
@konterkariert But I’m a To Do list power user. Usually have 100+ items in several cats and sub-projects. I don’t think Clear supports that.

Why aren’t there native OSX ports of Dia and Gimp? I like them, but god they’re ugly in X11. I’d pay for nicer versions.
@henrytapia But I’d pay! There’s gotta be a business opportunity there. @the_snook thinks it’s rather a technical limitation.
@that_alison Heh. I don’t knit ’em; I sew them from pre-made socks. But regardless – no way. 😀
Watching Whirlpool discussion about Internet outage and laughing at geeks losing their shit. (Confession: I miss Facebook already.)
@gilmae The whole internets was broken for a lot of Australia for the past hour or so: http://t.co/IojLtPET. Not for you?
Internet seems to be working again, both on my iPhone (Telstra) and in the office (iiNet). Phew. Crisis averted.

@imdominating I am somewhat hoping they bring me a big birthday HORSE HEART to gnaw on dramatically.

@blakkat They just keep bringing things around to your table. You don’t even have to get up! It’s awesome.
@blakkat When I was there, they gave you a little red/green disc you could flip to indicate if you wanted food or a break. 🙂
@blakkat The one on William Street. They’re very trendy now. Also been to Wildfire at Circ Quay years ago, and Ola Rio in Chippo recently.
@jenbishopsydney Lovely! You must thank yourself. 🙂

@codepo8 I get them too (but for $75 AUD). I just bin ’em. I can’t be bothered.
Hey @lemon_lime: This is so for you. Banana Republic’s new Mad Men collection: http://t.co/qykppCpd
@lemon_lime Seriously, I could see you wearing (and working the hell out of) that dude’s exact outfit.
@Gin_ev_ra http://t.co/WyjLaogw is useful in these cases. 🙂
@imdominating Awesome. I wish it got cold enough here to wear big warm stompy boots.
The cookies went over very well. 🙂

CATatelier by CatAtelier on Etsy – BRILLIANT. Everything about this is brilliant. Why won’t my stubborn-ass cats let me dress them up? Personal favourites: the top hat, the strawberry tie, and the James Bond open collar.

Ate a tiny bit of birthday cake out of social obligation. It was awesome. Now counting down til the sugar crash…
@witty_knitter YOU’VE AWAKENED THE BEAST! (The last time I mentioned the s-word in a tweet, I got followed a lot of Those People. *shudder*)
@chrisgander So wait, are you inviting current employees too? Then you should add @kunaal84 and @rajsingh2505. 🙂
@chrisgander Oh wait, it’s on the 16th? I don’t think I can make it then. That’s my birthday weekend…
@chrisgander We’re definitely going out Saturday night. But may end up doing something Friday too. I’ve put “maybe” for now.
@Kat13v @witty_knitter The day I make a living by selling $14 novelty hole punches is the day I jump off the Harbour Bridge.
I discovered it *is* possible to eat #paleo at Pancakes on the Rocks. http://t.co/VZpRimXO

@heathergracious Guy next to me had those. They looked good too!
