My colleague Bobbie will present how he used @awscloud RoboMaker to build his 3d printed autonomous robot arm at the Sydney Summit. You’re not going to want to miss this session! https://t.co/h0d2WASpUi #awssydneysummit2019 #innovatetrack #robots #robomaker #builders #ros https://t.co/1iJ2PAaL8g
Both @gilmae and @the_snook informed me that the choc chip cookies at the 7-11 near the QVB “have gone viral” on the /r/sydney subreddit. I had to investigate. https://t.co/lHdi3s6pdI
@gilmae @the_snook Initial recon showed that they weren’t sold out, and that cookies were indeed being fresh baked. I could see a tray of them about to be put in the oven, and the dough looked irregular and fresh rather than frozen disks. https://t.co/c2AQHqHEnm
@gilmae @the_snook I purchased my cookie. It was indeed still warm, and it left spots of fat and chocolate on the bag. https://t.co/odAvitr2Gd
@gilmae @msharp @the_snook GIVE ME A MINUTE.
@gilmae @the_snook The actual cookie. It looks like a cookie. It’s a bit darker than I normally expect a choc chip cookie to be. https://t.co/aCDoL4rh5Q
@gilmae @the_snook I convened a conclave of experts for the taste test. First was @kezmc, who said she’d have liked it to be chewier, but that it was a “pretty good cookie, something [her] kids would like,” but nothing extraordinary. https://t.co/JMinWtP44T

@gilmae @the_snook @kezmc Next was Najah, who said that hed have preferred the cookie to be crispier, and that actually he wasn’t a fan of the aroma. https://t.co/6Ps05T3HOe
@gilmae @the_snook @kezmc And last was Maria, who said she’s really more of an ANZAC biscuit person, so her opinion isn’t super useful anyway. https://t.co/8SjrJ9pWmm
@gilmae @the_snook @kezmc My verdict: it’s just a cookie. Learn to frickin’ bake, Redditors.
@jytc_ @gilmae @the_snook Read the thread!
@BugHunterSam @obrl_soil I’ve won ribbons in the past, but oddly it’s always been the projects I like and wear the least. There’s probably a lesson in that.
@lucykbain @gilmae @the_snook @kezmc To be fair, I don’t usually eat cookies at cafes/restaurants. I used to be partial to the “Muesli Cookies” at Toby’s, which were these huge solid hockey pucks of oats and fruit. I’ve also been known to enjoy a Florentine now and then (not really a cookie though, right?)
@hannahyanfield @gilmae @the_snook I really feel like I’m pushing the boundaries of the Twitter format. In a good way.
@jdub I’ve heard that phrase in the US too, if it matters.
