I’m doing Harvard’s CS50 “Introduction to Computer Science” course with several Sydney Girl Geeks, and for my first assignment, I had to create a game in Scratch. Naturally I took inspiration from Roald Dahl! 🤣
How many seagulls can you capture before poor Earthworm loses his nerve?
THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN. I spent way more time on it than I needed to – especially as this isn’t graded and I’m not getting a certification – but I was just enjoying it so much!
Today’s lunch: summer succotash with broad beans, bacon, corn, tomatoes, and basil on bread from @brickfieldsbakery. ❤️
The triumphant return of the Weekly Meetup Wrap! Featuring three meetups, upcoming events I’m attending or organising, robot strippers, blog posts I reckon you should read, and a dance remix of Meltdown & Spectre. (Yes, seriously.) 💃 🤖
Don’t forget to submit your talks for YOW! Data and Lambda Jam!

You know the theory that it takes 10,000 hours of focused practice to get really good at something? Yeah, that’s about right. 😂
Ahhh, summer. Some folks go to the beach. Instead we eat like damn hell ass kings! ☀️👑

What do *you* carry around on an everyday basis?
I finally decided on the weekend to replace my battered Herschel backpack with something a bit more professional…
ROADS WERE MELTING, PEOPLE. (We huddled in the house like the nerdy indoor kids that we are.) But yeah, climate change is totally a hoax. 🙄
My blog post got mentioned in The Sizzle today!!! (Thanks @David Edgar for the heads up…)
Congrats to the Canva team on becoming the newest 🦄 in Australia! (But damn, ABC, would it kill you to pretend to be happy for them?? 😂)
2.5 years ago I made a light-up Arduino-powered cushion for Canva’s internal hackathon to celebrate their inevitable entry into the Three Commas Club. Finally today that third comma can be lit!

DAN CARBO! Happy birthday!
LOVED this! The timing of that first jump, and then the whole bit during the final reprise… the dancing… clearly if he wasn’t skating, this kid would be doing musical theater. ❤️

Some lovely person sent me a beautiful piece of art! There was no note. Was it you?
Not only do I help run some of the best tech conferences in Australia as my day job, I’m doing it again as a volunteer side project. I’ll be running the “Art + Tech Miniconf” as part of LinuxConfAU in Sydney on Tuesday, January 23rd. The full program is now online, which includes computational creativity, art and literature created by neural networks, music, knitting, embroidery, Maker projects, blinkenlights, and even a tie-in to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is going to be fun. 🙂
(Okay, okay. There’s even some crochet in there too.)

OMG Bev Snook – you’re getting a big Milo tin! We definitely have to visit. 🙂
Trying out FB’s marketplace to get rid of our sofa bed. It’s actually a really great piece of furniture, but we rarely get stayover guests and I’d much rather have the space back in my office. Anybody interested?

Blog post! I figure if I lower the productivity of the entire economy, I’ll feel less bad about my own addiction to these games. 😛
