Lazy Twatter

  • Hehe the amount of linkage and comments my keyboard has been getting is pretty wierd. Gizmodo, for example: http://tinyurl.com/bjfqys

  • Something that riles me up: when writers say “pun not intended”, when most of the time, the pun is clearly intended. Also: bagpipes.
  • Oh… piss. Leaving it a bit late to buy train tickets is an annoying way to waste money. £60 for a return to Manchester? Boooo
  • “Pup Ponders the Heat Death of the Universe” – a short, beautiful, amazing comic by Drew Weing: http://www.drewweing.com/pup/13pup.html
  • I honestly didn’t think Chinese new year was for another week or so. Don’t tell mum I’m a bit rubbish at being Chinese
  • Search for all kinds of fine mixes to download here: http://postbocks.com/mixes/by
  • Am tired. Didn’t get enough sleep this weekend. Supposed to go to the gym but feel like I might fall asleep on a treadmill and hurt my face.
  • I replied to @willself yesterday saying how it’s a shame he stopped twittering, and now he’s posting! About a monkey in a jungle, no less.
  • Holy shit, the Designers Republic have gone into liquidation. No waaay.
  • Every day I throw any change on me into a couple of jars on my window. I just counted out about £70’s worth of silvers. Arrrr me hearties
  • Off to footy soon, then onto Head of Steam to meet some chums. (I like the word chums. Chums chums chums.)
  • Just had random dinner with my German flatmate and her parents. They’re so grown up. Had to pretend to be well-spoken and have good manners.
  • Just watched Taxi Driver. Travis Bickle would’ve made an excellent Twitterer.

Just One Colour

The design snob in me isn’t particularly happy with Apple’s recent trend of using two colours (black and silver, white and silver) on their stuff. Single colours suit the simple design much better, in my opinion.

So. Combine my pedantic taste for minimalism with nerdy touchtyping abilities and a cheap can of white spraypaint, and you end up with my keyboard – possibly the most pretentious keyboard in existence.

Now I can sleep at night.

Seventeen Thirteen

That’s the Fliqlo screensaver mimicking a flip clock on my monitor – it’s lovely.
