    Why yes, I am the dork wearing a 15yo NASA “meatball” sweatshirt to a space lecture.


    The lecture tonight by Dr. Randii Wessen of JPL was *fantastic*. He was such a great speaker, and clearly so smart and so enthusiastic about what he does. He showed us pictures of planets in our solar system, amazing images of things we’ve learned through the work NASA and other space agencies have done. He explained why space elevators haven’t worked yet; how Elon Musk plans to ferry cargo to and from Mars within 20 years; and the challenges of landing and driving a rover on Mars. He talked about why we do this – to explore, to learn about our own planet, and (as a byproduct) to make technological advances that make our lives better. I absolutely loved it.

    If any of you are in Canberra on Monday night, he’s giving the talk there. I highly, highly recommend it!

    @FakeSamRitchie @canva Surry Hills is riddled with them, you know. I’m pretty sure there’s a Hellmouth on Foveaux.

    Just bought a book called “Knitting for Anarchists”. I’m really nailing this middle-aged woman thing. https://t.co/ad9ExBBAv5


    @Queenstownlife Wow! 25mm is the biggest I’ve used, and I found them exhausting and awkward. Giant knitting is definitely trendy though!


    @LukeSleeman Haha, quite possibly. But hey, if ASIC spend all their time investigating knitters, so much the better. 🙂


    @gilmae LOL. Oh god. Now I’m imagining knitting a Molotov cocktail.


    @malynmawby Neat! I’ve seen similar things. Definitely adding to my pile of GEEKY KNITTING LINKS FOR FUTURE TALKS. 🙂

    @LeslieMac Love this. I work at Canva, and we’re all trying to figure out if you used our app to make it. If so, we’re really proud!

    The molecule used to make acrylic yarn, knitted in 100% wool. Genius & relevant to my interests. 💯 Thanks @tinypang! https://t.co/0yx5viSsBa


    @tinypang You just sent me down a rabbithole of knitted pie charts and data visualisations. SO MUCH COOL STUFF.


    I wonder how many Pokemons are being caught in the C2S today?


    @mootpointer I heard they dropped the speed for hatching eggs, so you probably didn’t get credit for those either. 🙁
