Shout-out on The Amp Hour

Many thanks to my friend Bez for a tip-off on Twitter this morning:

Excited to see a @web_goddess mention in @TheAmpHour #257. “There can’t be two self replicating mitten projects, right?”

I had to go investigate. It turns out The Amp Hour is a weekly podcast about electronics from a guy in Sydney and a guy in Cleveland. In Episode #257 they talked to Fabienne Serrière of KnitYak (which I actually backed and mentioned on the blog a few times in the past). At one point, the Australian host Dave starts talking about steganographic knitting and basically quotes a bunch of stuff from my Ignite talk last March. It happens around the 42:15 mark if you want to listen yourself. Dave also made special mention of the mittens, which reminded me that I hadn’t actually moved that page over from my old web host. (It’s fixed now, which is why you can see it on the blog.)

Very cool! I tweeted at Fabienne and the Amp guys to thank them for the shout-out. If you haven’t seen my Ignite talk, here’s the video:

Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
