    Just had coffee with an amazing Product Manager on the lookout for her next role. If you’re hiring – esp in the US – let me know! 😉

    @azadehkhojandi @vaughanknight They’re all GitHub stickers! (I ❤️ that YES WE CODE one…)

    @liedra Nah. Find Your Fade. I just don’t get it.

    @candeira @davecheney @fox I don’t have any problem when it’s advertised as such. That seems fine.

    @MsJonesInSydney @indeed I’ve been given two of these so far this year. Seems like a trend in swag! And yeah, sadly they’re kind of useful.

    Really enjoying Lorde’s new album. “They’ll hang us in The Louvre – down the back, but who cares? It’s still The Louvre…”

    RT @DaniKBevins: Unclear as to how this is a thing… https://t.co/oIGCDL8WCM

    #SydJS kicking off and HEY, @thethinkmill is hiring! You should go work for them; they’re great. https://t.co/ZfQQVS0Qp6

    @b11webdev @sydjs Did you get in??

    @b11webdev @sydjs I waved at @twalve, but I’m not sure he’s bothered. 😂 Tweet when you get here!

    Chuckling as @mjackson struggles with Australian download speeds as he demos @unpkg at #SydJS. We know, dude. We know. https://t.co/aAKhkAtJiS

    A fun math-y talk from @alexandereardon with a great takeaway message. Try different things – you never know where they’ll take you! #SydJS https://t.co/RxMv128N6r

    He’s 2 minutes in, and already @MarcinS is giving me massive late 90′s web nostalgia. Fly out nav! DHTML! #SydJS https://t.co/sUheJkv6GG

    He’s actually presenting his slides in Netscape Navigator 2.0 using FRAMESETS. 😲👏 This is amazing. @MarcinS #SydJS https://t.co/MVAznKcw0a

    @mobywhale @diversionary @sydjs I miss dithering.

    @MarcinS My favourite part is the tiny running clock in the bottom frame. 💯

    Great Mefi discussion about underrated kids’ books with serious ❤️ for “The Girl with the Silver Eyes”. https://t.co/4W9QtwiNtg @randomknits

    @darthted Tweets throughout, please. Some of us have FOMO.

    @andykelk Did they not have coffee? Those people look like they need coffee.

    I’m speaking on this Women in Digital panel event on July 11th at General Assembly. Hope to see some of you there!

    Just booked in for first ever mammogram, because I have far too many loved ones touched by cancer. @imdominating @TheWonkaTonka @_brigita_

    Collected another NO for the speaking rejection pile. *fistpump* “You don’t get a win unless you play in the game…” 🎵

    Nice crowd at @pivotallabs to hear Sam Wong from @blackbirdvc talk about diversity. https://t.co/D8aBukW5qD

    Wow. Companies with female founders or execs make up 15% of @blackbirdvc’s portfolio but 42% of the value. Diversity = 💰 https://t.co/VhIrHUjMml

    @gilmae Wait. Are you at the same thing I am? 😂

    Rather than “lower the bar,” re-evaluate selection criteria. @startmate’s criteria was based on history; not what works now. #sydtechtalks https://t.co/ZP1pdyZFae

    RT @fbz: i put some of my one-off algorithmic knits up for sale today, for the first time since the kickstarter two years ago https://t.co/…

    Changing diversity levels isn’t a one-off task. If you stop doing the work, it’s easy for numbers to backslide. #sydtechtalks

    So much of the startup scene comes down to network effect. THESE people are successful; their networks are made up of ppl just like them.

    Whole system of relying on referrals and networks ends up reinforcing monoculture. Self-perpetuating cycle…

    @tjbyte I think you pretty much have to have one or the other. Changing the status quo requires effort, otherwise it wouldn’t be the status quo.

    FRICKIN’ BRILLIANT. Just needs way to upload yourself and a “Dress Me” button. Bravo @hannahcancode! 👏 https://t.co/5I9dtGFH0K

    @justintruong Yeah, it’s actually kind of sad that we have to resort to the $ argument. How about just because women are 50% OF HUMANS, right?

    RT @LorenaABarba: I just published “How I get gender balance in tech-conference committees” https://t.co/LDuibsZpYD

    Yes, this! Well put, @crankymate. https://t.co/DCeApwYmwc

    RT @kylietimpani: This is neat. Submit before this Friday for @yow_conf’s Women in Tech speaker development program! https://t.co/nWIb9SXNJP

    RT @zarahjutz: At some point you have to write a CV or a resume (yes they’re different!). @hannahyanfield gives some tips to do it right. #…

    @darthted YOW! Data and Connected have open CFPs right now… 🙂

    @fox I’ve been shocked how many sponsors are blatant about wanting to buy speaking slots. That must be working for them elsewhere. 🙁

    @gilmae We didn’t see puffins when we were there, but I’m pretty sure the restaurant we ate at had them on the menu.

    @stringy Oh neat! I hadn’t seen that one specifically, but I recognised immediately that it had to be @videosmithery’s work. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

    @videosmithery @stringy I showed your Horse in Motion at knitting camp on the weekend, Sam, and there were literally GASPS. Such a fan of your work!

    TFW you look at the latest MUST KNIT project that everybody’s casting on, and think “Really?” https://t.co/yRrB43GzaQ

    @liedra There are a couple shawls now that are super popular, and they just don’t appeal to me at all. I’m baffled.

    @davidbainaa The comments in reply have left me seriously depressed though. Man, a lot of dudes suck.

    @gilmae Nope. (Wait a minute. Which of us is which? 🤔)

  • Transform the SF Clipper Card Into a Wearable

    Tired of bulking up your wallet with several different credit cards, id cards, and transit cards? We found out a way to extract the key functional components from the Clipper Card, and mold it into a variety of wearable devices, including a small rubber plate, a waterproof aspirin band, and a breadboard bracelet.

    Ooh, that’s very cool! I wonder if it’d work with an Opal card??

    Whoa! FP-Syd are now on https://t.co/Zte0vNL8Bk! Nice one, @jedws. 🙂 https://t.co/xAj4xnOUEg

    @ahuijsen Mrs and Miss convey whether I’m married or not. Mr. and Ms. don’t. It’s irrelevant for a work event!

    @ahuijsen I wouldn’t get upset at a non-native English speaker, so I reckon you’re fine. 🙂 Thanks for asking.

    RT @jdub: You’re my local member, @tanya_plibersek: Why should I vote for you if you end up doing stuff like this? https://t.co/i432SWMmgE

    @lucykbain @yow_conf Yes, but I wouldn’t suggest more than 2!

    Two things I learned at #knitcamp: speckled yarn is quite a Trendy Thing right now, and I don’t care for it much.

    @chaitanyakuber True. At least this one wasn’t a required field.

    RT @RickGiner: There’s a couple of CfPs open for @yow_conf – get your presentations submitted! https://t.co/Mg83IAcaG3

    @RickGiner @yow_conf Thanks for the massive Twitter spruik from your groups! 🙂

    @RickGiner @yow_conf PS I’m enjoying that lovely bottle of wine from @theWebMeetup right now. 🙂

    @randomknits At least you’ll understand my POWER POSE now. *deflects a barrage of machine gun fire while looking fierce*

    @robertlayton I hope you’re submitting a talk for YOW Data!

    Transform the SF Clipper Card Into a Wearable https://t.co/vW3diDJ8k6 – Oh wow. I wonder if it would work with an Opal card?? @TheOpalUser https://t.co/S4m7MuFrxh

    @gilmae @TheOpalUser The Snook says it’s forbidden by T&Cs: “33.h not misuse, deface, alter, tamper with or deliberately damage or destroy the Opal Card;” ☹️

    RT @knitterjp: @web_goddess surrounded by newly inspired knitters looking to incorporate tech in their knitting… https://t.co/LXPPTgmpn1

    After 25 goes telling techies about knitting, today was 1st go teaching knitters that they’re actually programmers. They loved it! #knitcamp https://t.co/8WxaQhPgFp

    @gilmae None, but I got interrupted about the WW2 knitting spies. Knitsplaining is my lot in life.

    @stibbons No joke. Two folks were quite interested in reviving KnitML. We’re thinking of porting tools to Python.

    After 25+ goes at teaching techies they know more about knitting patterns than they thought, today was my first go at teaching a group of knitters that they’re actually computer programmers. They loved it! Get ready for an influx of knitters at your next “learn to code” event. 🙂

    Loudest cheers at #knitcamp: “I’m knitting this for my daughter’s mother-in-law… or she would be, if there was marriage equality!” 🏳️‍🌈♥️

    OH at #knitcamp: “I’m turning 50 this year and I want you all to knit me a damn blanket!” 😂

    @mmastertheone Oh thanks! I knew they talked about it but I’m not sure I ever saw the actual episode.
