F21 Thread Screen – This is super cool. Be sure to watch the “behind the scenes” video so you can see how it works. It took me a while to work out that each “spool” is actually one end of a long rotor belt of “threaded fabric” that turns so the correct colour displays. You can send your own Instagram photo by tagging it with #F21ThreadScreen. (I sent mine this morning but it hasn’t shown up yet. Not sure how long a backlog they’ve got!)

It’s Formal Friday at work, so I (naturally) busted out my prom dress. It’s almost 20 years old, and I keep finding excuses to wear it!

Reading
Century Egg
For lunch today we had mapo tofu, rice noodles, pork floss, and century eggs. I’d never eaten a century egg before. It looked horrible. But everybody else was taking them, so I decided to be brave. My colleague Nic said that they just taste like normal hardboiled eggs. So I closed my eyes and tried it. And he’s right! It just tasted like a normal egg, albeit one with a slightly weird texture. But man, they look unnatural. I kind of can’t stop thinking about it.
A new form of carjacking
Hackers Remotely Kill a Jeep on the Highway-With Me in It | WIRED – Wow. I was especially creeped out by the mention of using the hacked cars to extend the range of the exploit. Mobile botnet!
Hoosiers
Called it.
Adults who love to colour in – I totally called this as a Thing MONTHS ago! 😀
