Just completed a 14.91 km run with RunKeeper – Great LSR at 2:1 R/W. Did half with Miss Fee, which was so fun! Now ice bath.
Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…

MONA = HotR
MONA = HotR
The Snook and I have been giggling over the SMH stories about Tasmania’s new Museum of Old and New Art (or MONA). An eccentric millionaire has built a three-story underground museum carved out of a sandstone cliff and stuffed it full of random art from all over the world. It’s all deliberately jumbled together with no labels. The creator refers to it as an “adult Disneyland.” Hello? This is basically Australia’s House on the Rock. We’re obviously going to have to go.

Hip Pressure Cooking
Hip Pressure Cooking. Neat! In case you missed it, Laura left a comment with a link to her site. I was wary at first that it was just a driveby SEO-riddled linkspam, but the site looks to be a legit source for all sorts of pressure cooking info. I’m especially interested in the series of Beginner Basics that’s about to start…

@witty_knitter I was taught two spaces when I took “keyboarding” in high school. On actual IBM Selectric typewriters! Don’t do it now tho.
@randomknits Within 2wks of working retail on my feet, I was wearing the ugliest – but comfiest – shoes ever and loving it. Go practical.
@drkknits As the article says, it makes sense with monospace fonts… kind of. But yeah, I never bothered on computers.
Woo! My first trip on one of the fancy new “Free WiFi” buses! I am pathetically excited about that.
@eileenDCoE These checkin places sound suspiciously like wanky Melbourne bars. DO THEY HAVE A SIGN? DOES EVERYONE HAVE A BEARD?
@stufromoz It did! Somebody is probably sniffing my Twitter password as we speak. Yay technology.
@stufromoz I couldn’t see any furtive laptop users, but it was a bendy bus. Who knows? I’m off now. Are iPhones actually at risk?
@AusVintageGrrl Some of the fancy new Metro Buses. The 30 and the 10 have it so far, I think.
@drkknits @HoneyBeeMine Nah, I tend to just buy paper books. I can’t read e-books for long novels. 🙁
@stufromoz I’m trying to figure out if apps are as vulnerable as hitting the site in Safari. Was firing up Tweetdeck a big risk?
@kunaal84 Uh oh. Not a good night?
@kunaal84 I’m going to a Metafilter meetup near Broadway on Sunday at 5 if you need an excuse to get out!
@TimBags Yep. Started last month on new Metro M10 bus! Google it. 🙂
@AusVintageGrrl Upon further googling, appears to just be on M10 for now as a trial.

Just completed a 5.86 km run with RunKeeper – HOT day, so I took frequent walk breaks. I’m drenched.
