Laughing… tears…
So Twitter is shutting down Vine. And to be honest, I’d never really explored Vine at all. It just wasn’t a thing I ever had time for. But then I found the Metafilter thread about it, and people were sharing their favourite Vines… and these ones made me laugh out loud SO HARD. We’re talking tears. (Make sure you have sound on!)

#frocktober day 27: retro dress, made by me! On location in @thethinkmill lift. π https://t.co/xJtcem3dLf https://t.co/a6H2nztE1o
Wearing a circle skirt on a windy day may have been a mistake. π¨ππ³

@deepfresh Damn, jealous! Let me know if/when you’re in Sydney – would love to check it out. π
@randomknits Somehow I’d become numb to your relentless progress, but I was just like, WTF 71 DAYS OF MAKING QUILT BLOCKS THAT’S CRAAAZY.
This was a brilliant talk, and you can probably hear me guffawing through it from the front row. https://t.co/v7zeuPcGpk
Aussie women – got an idea for a startup? Don’t delay – #SheStarts applications close soon! CHANGE THE WORLD, LADIES. https://t.co/PwBcqE0SYb
It’s the Knitting + Computers talk, of course! (Seriously, programmers: learning to view your craft in a new way makes you better at it.) https://t.co/WqfigJQi3n
RT @LukeSleeman: @web_goddess Talk at #YowConnected was awesome, hilarious and thought provoking. Definitely worth seeing! https://t.co/SQβ¦
@mark_sabbatical That’s actually knitted!! π Love that scene…
@mark_sabbatical Well, most of the other pictures on the blog are crochet – the granny squares. So I’ll still give half credit. π

Listening to @diversionary and @ericdot kick off the 2nd ever #designingproducts meetup! https://t.co/UyrBf0v5Lt
Me: “Your hashtag is too long.”
@diversionary: “Post pictures, not words.”
#designingproducts
Lauren Bedford from Expert 360 telling us that startups do, in fact, have tech debt! #designingproducts https://t.co/pLxWrpsx46
@michaelneale @diversionary It’s like a beautiful comet, zooming past once in our brief lifetimes.
“This talk may be quite negative, but that’s just because I’m British.” @buzzusborne gets a chuckle at #designingproducts https://t.co/CEbQcHJzI2
Designers share same frustrations even in bigger startups: no team is perfect; never enough time or budget. #designingproducts @buzzusborne
“As a designer, it’s your job to make customers feel AWESOME.” – @buzzusborne #designingproducts
@auxesis Oh damn. Even more sympathy for the past week then…
@auxesis …assuming that it was personal experience driving the project!
Canva selfie! Just can’t escape these folks. π https://t.co/zYfFc5O06b https://t.co/heTpeg4QVZ
@mark_sabbatical @WID_AUS Wow, nope! Too many great events happening to keep track of them all. π
@jeremybrown @phillfarrugia Sadly, due to social media I am eminently stalkable.
Actually, this one’s crochet @mark_sabbatical π https://t.co/alOwBcfk86
@phillfarrugia Sure, go for it!

“The things we work hard for – we should celebrate those victories.” YES. #sparkfest #WomeninTech
@drwitty_knitter I know. But there’s something that appeals at a primal level about going toe-to-toe with an opponent. The physicality.
@drwitty_knitter Maybe I’m just hormonal and irritated. π
I literally just uttered the phrase “women in tech fight club” unironically. #WomeninTech #sparkfest

@gilmae Heroes of Australian legend Halloween costumes? Been there, done that. https://t.co/lB85jUssRZ
@gilmae *sigh* Me. I stand by that poster. It was really good. Way better than the actual movie.
@thisismywww @gilmae Andy? You lost me.

@yow_oz @azadehkhojandi I guess the door is wide open for YOW! Cats in the future though. π
@webdirections I was gonna guess @Malarkey – I know he’s been back a few times
@jesslynnrose Oh, hadn’t heard about the new job! Congrats. π
Got fed up with the wifi at the library today so now I’m lurking in the wonderful @thethinkmill office!
Second #equalityhacks kicking off. We’re coming up with safe-to-fail experiments to increase diversity in tech! https://t.co/jFKnW32XJi
Experiments that particularly resonated with me at #equalityhacks https://t.co/UzsLjNmV9C
@SeanDunn10 Apparently a white paper is being published soon! @kakaCharlotte – how can non-Syd folks register interest / get notified?
@mootpointer @mark_sabbatical We need you guys! Only one man there tonight. Kind of disheartening. π
@evanderkoogh @thethinkmill Ha! They’re not a co-working space, moocher. (Says a moocher…)
@TacticalGrace YES, thank you! That’s exactly it. That’s helped me articulate why I think it’s important, even if it seems silly.
@RMcKergow Yup. A few folks have offered a hot desk, and I’ll probably resort to paying for one soon enough. But I’m a nomad now!
