Chicken necks.

Chicken necks for Ike. Bought in bulk.

Skeletal birthday wish

Thought I'd take an artistic hand-on approach to a birthday card for a friend. Bought a floral patterned card and covered the original flowers with laser-printed skulls. The finished result looks much better than the original.

Possibly the best handwriting I have ever seen

Upon recent purchase of a slice of the Great Australian Dream, the previous owner had left this beautiful, handwritten note. First thought was that this was a typed note, printed in an old fashioned, handwriting font. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this perfectly aligned wonder was produced by a human hand. This piece of treasure is definitely something to hold onto. Click to enlarge and see the note in all of its glory, although this scan does not do it justice. You don't see handwriting like this these days.

Garage painting

A great way to liven up any garage - paint a crazy character on the wall! This character, giving the Aussie "thumbs up" was appropriately finished on Australia Day 2010. A video camera was set up on stop motion to capture the process. Jaruhd does not claim to be any kind of video expert, and somehow missed recording some footage near the start of the process, but the video will give you an insight into the aerosol art process.

18 months of tweeting...

Well, close enough for the purposes of this post.

A bright eyed, bushy tailed Yedmart was not unlike any other Twitter n00b when he first signed up back in August 2008. To this day, not much has changed. He is still trying to pinpoint a suitable use for the amazing tool/service.

After touting around the landscape of different clients and Twitter services, the preferred weapons of choice these days (or for the moment until something better comes along) are Tweetie and Hootsuite. If you have not used Tweetie on the Mac, please do. The UI is non-comparable to any other client out there. It is light, quick and just makes so much sense. The only gripe is the lack of lists/groups, but the ease of use makes up for this. There is a free version that is ad supported, but with ads run by Fusion, there is always something beautiful to look at.

Next, enter Hootsuite. Hootsuite basically has everything you need - support for lists, scheduled tweets, stats, multiple accounts, Facebook integration, keyword search/tracking etc etc all snapily accessible from a web browser. This allows you to get downright dirty with Twitter. Strategize, tweet, search/stalk and get bogged down in stats with all these fab tools at your disposal.
