Mum on watering our plants: “They can’t talk, but you can see they’re happy now.”
@oddysee Not sure who, but I hope we see more streams like this.
@rashmiswamy that’s so awesome! Says a lot when the likes of Gruber and Sandwich like it.
@Leissa @established1987 We’re at the Senna stand near gate 1. Let’s meet up between practice and qualifying if you guys are nearby. #F1

@grahamrb Incredible. I hope it’s true.

@oddysee Definitely Reeder and iBooks, but also try DropBox, SimpleNote, NYTimes, BBCNews, TED, IMDB, GarageBand, Marvel, and maybe Pages.
@oddysee must’ve been a bargain. Happy iPading.
@oddysee brown!
@rashmiswamy I keep reading Instapaper as Instagram, but yes I heart them both.
Collected nine GP Advantage tickets for the #donline crew! #f1 http://instagram.com/p/Cdgd2/
@frankfarrall And they’re being sued by Apple for infringing on their trademark, “App Store” bloomberg.co…ademark.html[+]
@oddysee Worth a look, then worth contrasting it with the DJ store right next to it. Look for what you might think is trendy vs. timeless.
@deanfrancis Exactly. A sense of timelessness, please.
@deanfrancis Dating quickly is precisely the consequence. Leave trendiness to fashion, not in Architecture which’ll be around for years.
@deanfrancis I like the idea of a light filled atrium, but not their overly postmodern, arbitrary architecture.
The new Myer redevelopment tries to be trendy and interesting in all the wrong things.
Loving these new Converse adverts. It says everything about their brand without saying it. yfrog.com/gz9qxroj[+]
@scottreismanis Cracker of an idea! Must give it a try.
Death to the YouTube pop-up ad! kensegall.co…e-pop-up-ad/[+]
@deanfrancis Slick website too. How’s the beer?
@deanfrancis Museo on this beer label works surprisingly well. Nice!
@established1987 Curious, but I’m afraid @Leissa will elbow me back.
“Don’t even think about it!” #donline #nerfwar http://instagram.com/p/CS_yl/
@juleshughan That’s a generous tip.
@deanfrancis Congrats you two! Looks delicious.
@owenhodda Amen to that. People get excited about the medium of SM, but it should be about the message.
@olimpiazagnoli You’ll love the illustrated books on Indian mythology by Pixar animator Sanjay Patel: gheehappy.com[+]
If the dickbar’s here to stay, shouldn’t the search bar make way? I doubt search was ever used enough to warrant the top placement.
Great dialogue between two great designers, Milton Glaser and Massimo @vignelli: designindaba…imo-vignelli[+]
@deanfrancis keepin it real. #jQuery
@andrewlitvak that’s a steal.
Have you backed Urbanized yet? What are you waiting for? kickstarter….gary-hustwit[+]
I’ve only just noticed these large, unobtrusive barcodes on Woolworths packaging. Simple UX improvement for scanners. yfrog.com/gzlidaqj[+]
@andrewlitvak Or more correctly, actual usage will tell. Also, Kindle is awesome.
@andrewlitvak I won’t be upgrading either, but I still think it’s a game changer with its new performance and battery life.
@andrewlitvak The same was said of the first iPad.
Photographs are only half-truths: quotevadis.c…raphs-do-lie[+]
@Leissa Come back to our office then. Promise we won’t shoot you. :)
@jGalliers @chesterm8 @chrisvanraay Let’s shake hands and attack @frankfarrall instead. Don’t stand a chance otherwise.
@adriancb thanks mate :)
@c0uP @andrewlitvak @amandamli Can you teach me how to be a “linguistic hipster”? I really want to be linguistic hipster.
@jGalliers finally lands one on target! Keep practicing. #donline #nerfwar
Shot @chesterm8 in the face! @chrisvanraay is next. #donline #nerfwar
@naomieve @andrewlitvak I had nothing to do with the missing cake! http://yfrog.com/h7x5yuqj
@established1987 Woah, something other than sushi? I’ve never seen you eat anything else.
First day of Autumn and I’m freezing already.
Best compliment ever for the @vignelli stream that I maintain: http://twitter.com/#!/ryfernandez/status/41747464360960000
@deanfrancis Amazing, right? I’ve been documenting the architecture whenever I visit: flickr.com/p…23975013116/[+]

Emotional and speechless after 127 Hours.
@oddysee Assume she can still see a bit?
@rungta The title reminded me of something out of MS Word (WordArt) effects. Pathetic.
@rekharach LOL. Remember when you were once a kid and you always wanted to go to school?
@Leissa Awesome! Had no idea she was touring here.
@leondoyle @amandamli @jessnichols Great job you guys! #donline stole the show.
Sad for Bahrain, but awesome the we get the first F1 race of the year again. Let’s keep it that way, Bernie.
Product design involves compromise. RIM must choose between features, utility and performance so they can actually ship. http://j.mp/fMxy74[+]
@andrewlitvak @vladzz Yep, just their field techs. Tracking was justifiable but concerns were in knowing where and how long your breaks are.
@vladzz It’s publicly known that Telstra tracks its field technicians. They copped negative press initially but stuck with it.
I’ll be generously liking, hearting and favouriting the internet today, because you’re all lovely people.
@oddysee I really hope he’ll be back. He’s one of my favouriites.
@jwswj Congrats mate! All the best in SF.
@oddysee That’s a shocker of an UI. Tell me that’s not how it looks by default?
@rekharach That’s the bridge near Myuna Farm. Heatherton Rd was blocked so I had to go towards Power Rd and saw that.
Flooded http://instagr.am/p/BZeUj/
@deanfrancis Man, that’s close. Can’t take anymore rain.
@andrewlitvak @deanfrancis OMG, that’s some serious flooding at Prahran. I hear Narree copped it bad too.
@deanfrancis Good thing you didn’t stay for drinks! You must’ve caught the train just before the whole network went nuts.
@lokallobaat Thanks Sumit. Hoping so.
@rashmiswamy Yeah it was really bad in parts of Melbourne. Got home finally after 3 hours or so. More heavy rain predicted on the weekend :(
@andrewlitvak @chrisbride Was stuck for 30 minutes at Flagstaff, then an hour and a half at Richmond, before a Lilydale train and bus home.
Flash flooding disruptions all over. Two hours on and I’m still trying to get home.
@force10x Send it to me then and I’ll PDF it for you in Keynote.
@force10x Not unless you PDF it first.
@rekharach Oh, that’s no good.
Really feeling for our farmers in North Queensland: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/02/04/3129977.htm
@rekharach Haha, how did the Boss react?
@rekharach You’re going sick on Twitter today. Yay.
@andrewlitvak Vakardi 151?
@dkeeghan In-app purchases via Apple only sounds restrictive at first, but users benefit from a single payment system they are used to.
@rungta The long wait is almost over! The new Ferrari looks the most elegant. Have to see what McLaren produce.
Love the look of the new Mercedes W02 #F1 f1fanatic.co…11_v-ale.jpg[+]
@rekharach Eat something then.
@rashmiswamy Bunch of losers. They’re everywhere, but Bangalore getting worse is especially sad. Hope you’re ok.
@rekharach take a photo!
@grahamrb Yeah, it’s pretty cool, right?
@ohnoir A great loss.

@grahamrb Ooh, can’t wait to try the new filters!

@amolpradhan Oh crap. They’re in risk of taking it already.
@amolpradhan LOL, yes, and bouncers.

@grahamrb So frekin awesome. I could get used to that gesture.
@oddysee New 4-finger gestures coming to iPad in 4.3, along with a bunch of other improvements: 9to5mac.com/…bout-ios-4-3[+]
@grahamrb That’s awesome news. Can’t wait for it.
@oddysee @rekharach Mad Men junkie!
@oddysee Yeah, it’s a nice effect right? And all without flash.

What a relief that the new Tweetie 2 icon is not a shade of blue. My dock couldn’t be any more saturated with blue. yfrog.com/h4cmzp[+]
So glad Tweetie 2 is out. My only complaint is with the “New Tweet” action – it deserves more emphasis than being buried under bottom-left.
