The Old Reader: behind the scenes – What The Old Reader Readers Are Reading – I wonder to what extent Flipboard has further cannibalised RSS usage? I’ll admit that I actually read Flipboard more, just because it looks a lot nicer.

@Alegrya I love my Aria scales!
@Alegrya I recommend using Trendweight: https://t.co/ZI3ISc3or1. It does a rolling average and smooths out to show the trends.
@Alegrya And it works perfectly with Fitbit! 🙂
RT @SydCSS: Hey SydCSS-ers! We’ve just announced our first event for 2015! Grab your spot now 🙂

@richbuggy Hello!! 🙂
@richbuggy There’s pizza up here. And as I’m being virtuous, I’ll give you my slice.
@antonemdin Whoa! Is it the same design as the guy in the suit? We saw him at T20 match back over Christmas!
Wow, lots of new faces here at @WWCSyd tonight to learn about SASS! #wwcsyd

“We like to keep our code DRY. That means Don’t Repeat Yourself.” Ha! I thought at first @mobywhale meant “Serious & non-funny.” 🙂 #wwcsyd
@richbuggy It’s cool. We’re in LEARN mode anyway. 🙂

Reading: Why You Should Never Worry Alone – Good advice. I’m a perpetually anxious worrier. Sharing helps a lot. http://t.co/EIm4iHfalT
In 13 months, I’m down 13.3kg. Key tools: Fitbit Aria + TrendWeight + INSANE AMOUNTS OF STRESS. http://t.co/ribRkTuFR8
@pauleyphillips Haha, sure! 🙂
‘Fifty Shades of Grey’-inspired bacon burger returns to British pub – Ew. My first thought: Does it have LUBE ON IT? http://t.co/CWNMiOItFR

Why You Should Never Worry Alone — Science of Us – Good advice. I’m a perpetual worrier, and it causes me issues. (Search the blog for “stomach” if you’re curious.) I’ve gotten better at sharing things with the Snook though, which helps. Sometimes I can’t even put it into words, but he knows when I say “Everything is ruined,” it’s time to pull me back from the abyss.

Very cool!
The wearable tool, the new Leatherman Tread – Leatherman Blog – I thought it looked dorky til I saw the version with the watch face. Wow. That’s pretty neat!

Annabel Crabb at AGNSW talking about bra-burning feminism. Hell yeah! @ Art Gallery of New South Wales http://t.co/TKxz2DBHuE
@drwitty_knitter It was just colourful language. That wasn’t the literal topic of her talk. 🙂
Ugh. I firmly believe attendees at a talk should be legally required to read this flowchart before asking questions. http://t.co/UwSksfdQEs
@creatrixtiara @catehstn Fair enough. But I just heard 7 “questions” where more than half just wanted to talk into a mic for no reason.
@creatrixtiara @catehstn Like, there should be an actual question! It’s not “share your anecdote” time.
@drwitty_knitter My favourite response is @smark31’s withering “Thank you for that useful contribution.”
@irisbuunk None of those criteria should preclude a shy person from speaking. The key is to actually ask a question, not just ramble.
@fcablog @Puffles2010 Ooooh, that’s a good one.
@venks79 Hahaha… Nah, it wasn’t actually a tech event I was at. But this pretty much applies to that too!
