A familiar neck
Saturday was the apps4nsw development day, a “hack day” event where programmers were challenged to mash up government data in new useful ways. The Snook went along as part of the Yahoo team. (He tried to get me to go, but I felt like a day at home knitting was a bigger priority.) I followed along throughout the morning on the Twitter stream when I saw a bunch of people retweeting a Flickr photo. I clicked through and saw a very familiar neck…
Hey! That’s my Snookums! I immediately emailed to tell him he was Twitter-famous.
The project he helped with didn’t win a prize, but I was proud of him just for taking part.
