    These donuts are makin’ me THIRSTY! (It’s called the George Costanza.) #doughnuttime https://t.co/o65q3ZKt8g https://t.co/iD7LGT3iSs


    Whoa. I was skeptical of how good a $6 donut could be, but damn. That was a really great donut. Well done, #doughnuttime.

    @canva goes to the Cat Cafe. https://t.co/k4PY4EUWZI https://t.co/xAamIXGsi0


    RT @canva: What better way to embrace the silly season than visiting a cafe full of kittens? Some of our team did today: https://t.co/kEjjD…


    @lucykbain It was fun! Though to be honest, I think the Cat Protection Society would be much the same (and free).

    Bathroom Renovation – it’s almost done! Medicine cabinet, mirror, shower screen, and more… https://t.co/UBNUIb6km5

    RT @ceejbot: PHP is bad. Java is bad. Javascript is bad. Ruby is bad.

    I’m beginning to suspect that programming is terrible.

  • Bathroom Renovation

    It’s soooo almost done! The shower screen went up last week, and then – FINALLY – the gas company turned up to hook us up. The new instant hot water system went in this week, and yesterday the builder turned up to hang the medicine cabinet, shower baskets, and mirror. (We have to wait three days before we can take the tape and supports off the mirror.)

    Now all that’s left to do is paint the cornice and ceiling and finish moving all our stuff back in!

    For @Canva Kris Kringle this year, I knitted Shrödinger’s Christmas Cat for @davidhearnden https://t.co/wB9IrK7Z0w https://t.co/RSt4n5jEjg


    @mmastertheone Bloody hell. Thanks for that. I just activated it. GAHH. Deactivated now. 🙂


    @rosepowell JEALOUSY.


    I want a Jewelbot. GGD/WWC group order? https://t.co/thOZL5YevH @pyko @lucykbain @daphnechong @sezshares @emmainsydney


    @daphnechong @pyko @lucykbain @sezshares @emmainsydney I saw them on @catehstn’s site. They’re really for kids, but I want one anyway. 😛


    Since I gave away my Star Wars tickets last night due to illness, I’m going dark on social media until I see the movie. Later, folks.


    @stephenlead Heh. @unlikelylibrary posted that same suggestion to the Girl Geek Sydney FB page this morning. 😀


  • Shrödinger’s Christmas Cat

    For the Canva 2015 Kris Kringle gift exchange, I got a colleague who is mathematician and engineer. I tried stalking him on social media, but he doesn’t post very much. I knew that he’s into dark European films and quantum physics, so my genius idea was to knit him Shrödinger’s Cat!

    You can find more details about the knitted cat over on Ravelry. Obviously, he’s alive on one side and dead on the other! To complete the experiment, I included a bottle of “poison” (ie vodka) and a container full of “radioactive material” (ie Kinder eggs). I packed it all into a cardboard box that I spraypainted silver (since it’s supposed to be steel) and decorated with “PROPERTY OF E. SHRÖDINGER” and “CAUTION: LIVE(?) ANIMALS” labels.

    I’m very happy to report that the recipient was delighted with it. 🙂
