Spread fail

Posted about 1 year ago

I just made myself some toast, forgetting that we ran out of peanut butter last week. There was some jam in the fridge but I think it’s been there too long and didn’t look too good. So I put it back. Only other spread we have is … vegemite.

I haven’t had vegemite for years.
I still don’t like vegemite.

And just to ensur…

Monkey bonanza on the home page

Posted about 1 year ago

They don’t let me anywhere near the redbubble home page.
Some say I lack artistic taste.
Some say I lack any sort of taste, but that’s a different story.

Learn swing dancing in South Melbourne

When I’m not working here at RedBubble, I’m usually dancing. I do this quite a lot. Mostly swing, which I’m quite good at, and it happens to be probably one of the most fun dances ever conceived.

Interesting essay from Paul Graham (not new):

One more week of Ts for kids

Posted over 2 years ago

SUPER EDIT: A small women’s T is fine, says tambatoys
EDIT: Oh no they’re gone now you missed out :(

Due to production issues after next week you won’t be able to buy a fitting t-shirt for your young ones. I’m guessing no one really cares about this except me. The reason being they are the only things I sell.

Off to RailsConf

Posted over 2 years ago

In just under 4 hours I’ll be flying out to meet up with Justin at RailsConf EU in Berlin. That’s pretty exciting. After that I’m stopping off in Munich for a few days on my way home. Would you believe there is a festival in Munich while I’m there celebrating two of the most important things in my life – swing dancing and beer.

I reckon’ it’...
