15:36 I am sure that in the game right in front of me I have seen the ball kicked once. GWS you have it all ahead of you. #
15:33 Some of these kiddies on the field at half time seem to think they're playing touch footy as in that other code #
15:22 Richmond really should be a lot further in front than this. 6.7 to 5.1 at half time. #aflgiantstigers #
14:21 Deleted that last tweet and I'll shut up now. Too cold to tweet anyway #
14:11 Game has begun. If Skoda Stadium holds 25k they'd be struggling to have 10,000 today. #aflgiantstigers #

14:04 Da Giants. #aflgiantstigers http://t.co/NfAKD724 #

12:29 And I think it's my first time inside Sydney Showground/Skoda Stadium since seeing Japan beat Australia in baseball at the 2000 Olympics #

It's amazing it's fantastic wherever there is rebel he'll be there

It's an unusual name but a great concept. RebelMouse launched recently and I have a cricket-specific page at rebelmouse.com/rickeyrecricket.

RebelMouse can, and has, been described as a visual mix along the lines of Storify, Pinterest and Paper.li all thrown together. Still in beta, but looks very exciting at this stage, so please check out my contribution as, and if, it develops.

That address again: rebelmouse.com/rickeyrecricket.

19:22 I'm no fan of Nick D'arcy but the AOC are making a strong claim for the Laughingstock Life Achievement Award. #london2012 #
19:01 Typical left-wing bias. RT @everyword: progressives #

15:25 @DowntownNewtown I disagree, I think it has already caught on, and that only its ugly design will send it to an early obsolesence #
15:21 @DowntownNewtown no different to grabbing any other app that's used often #
15:21 There's been quite a bit of shark-jumping in #HSU-related matters this week, hasn't there? #auspol #
15:17 @DowntownNewtown it's not a native app to any smartphone format, easily obtainable though. Has much merit but prob not for long #
15:07 @DowntownNewtown got them now. There's plenty of good uses for QR codes. Plenty of crap ones too. #
