    “We were all millionaires! …on paper. And then in the early 2000s, all that paper went away.” Ahhh, nostalgia. Been there. 💸 #WTM17


    RT @railey180: Visibility of your work is crucial to success. You need to be able to talk about your Work. #WTM17 #TellingYourStory


    Are there any skills you had to pick up that didn’t come naturally? “SUBTLETY.” – @joannejacobs 😂 Sing it, sister. #WTM17


    This is my favourite thing ever. Bless you, @tcn33. 😂 https://t.co/Leugq8tsnk


    Pro tip for all women in tech: sleep your way to the top. As in, actual sleep. It’s so important. 😴 GENIUS! #WTM17

    @candeira @tensorflow Ladies only for this one, sadly.


    @nickyringland @tensorflow Oh sure, yours looks cool! Mine turned me into a FISH-PERSON. 😂


    @candeira @tensorflow Workshop materials are all online if you want to have a go on your own! https://t.co/hTp3WCgP29


    @nickyringland @tensorflow 🐟 https://t.co/Hb3HUQWVkH


    @mobywhale Best thing ever. Now @the_snook is thinking of doing one with @diversionary’s face…


    TFW you’re training a neural network to recognise handwriting, and suddenly realise it’s the Pokemon workshop from @GPN_Sydney. 😂 #wtm17


    @piawaugh MEERKAT! ❤


    Every other sentence out of @piawaugh’s mouth, I see heads go down as #WTM17 attendees nod, write, and tweet. It’s all so good. https://t.co/cPdE5EAV8e


    “We have to question our premises, or else we’ll just reinvent the past but think it’s different because it’s shinier”. @piawaugh #WTM17 💯


    RT @zarahjutz: “Who cares what a moron thinks of you? Choose the path with the best possible outcome for all involved.” #wtm17


    QFT, and the trauma can be lasting. (I still have nightmares.) https://t.co/9ScntMfxSn


    @m4rkmc Thanks for that! Really enjoyed it, and have already shared materials with friends who couldn’t be here. 🙂


    @mibus You around? I’m here for woman techmakers things. TGIF drinks on level 6 👋

    Attended Google Women Techmakers today and played around with TensorFlow. I was using Style Transfer to apply the style of famous artworks to my own images. In the process, I appear to have turned myself into a mermaid. 😂

    @drwitty_knitter We only just squeak past you with 12, courtesy of my internet-enabled bathroom scales. 😂


    @drwitty_knitter I think we’re only counting devices that actually connect to the Internet. My Fitbit has to go via my phone for that.


    @drwitty_knitter But my Nintendo Wii counts! So that’s 13. 🙂


    @drwitty_knitter I don’t have an auto window closer though. That is seriously next level geek stuff.


    @drwitty_knitter @randomknits @gilmae I read you can get wifi enabled slow cookers. I want one of those.


    @gilmae @drwitty_knitter @randomknits Sadly, ours only has Bluetooth.


    @randomknits Callie gave me a box of damp matches today. I have no idea what to do with that. (This game is so weird.)


    Me to the Snook just now: “GUESS WHO’S COSPLAYING MON MOTHMA THIS YEAR, BOOYAHHHHH!!!” https://t.co/TXSLhGVP2S


    RT @Merman_Melville: Hey, people who can remember someone’s name after meeting them, what’s it like to have the powers of a god yet be trap…


    @chrisgander I can’t wait to see you and Evie cosplaying Kylo Ren and Rey down the track. 😀


    @richbuggy Yep. *pours out a 40 for my homey from Mon Calamari*
