    @melissa_loh Oh yeah, I’ve made a couple of them! Even the elastic bit that I was worried about ended up being pretty easy.


    @McKenzie_Ben Thanks! I made it for a Christmas party a few years back that had a “Glow” theme. πŸ˜€


    @cocotutch Hi @mokagio! Long time no see. @melbournecocoa


    RT @TheThomason: I hope they give the next Nobel to the Replacements so they can get drunk and throw it in a river.


    RT @alicelizabrenn: “We need digitally savvy leaders and we need female leaders. Code is a feminist issue” – thank you @KathrynParsons


    @boyter Congrats!


    The @KnitGuildNSW are running a “Knit Like a Viking” class in January. I’m pretty excited about this. https://t.co/x1jOA5wvHd

    @gilmae I would say they do together.


    @gilmae I think an employee should do it, and then discuss with manager.

    @Malarkey @msharp This discussion is relevant to my interests. Criteria?


    @Malarkey @msharp Ha, no. Just asking what you’re looking for. Craft beers? Lots of space? Lack of besuited wankers?


    @gilmae WTF. <input type=”file”> is, like, unknown to people? This is like the div thing all over again.


    @msharp @Malarkey If you want something local, could go to Archie Rose. Out of CBD a ways though… https://t.co/IFgbbGfDQT

    It’s still #AdaLovelaceDay in the US, so I’ve got one final woman in STEM to mention – my dear friend, roomater, and microbiologist Dr. Eileen Dunne. She’s the reason I passed freshman year Bio at ND, and here we are TWENTY YEARS LATER both living in Australia where she’s helping research and prevent childhood diseases across the APAC region. I’m so proud to know her!


    It suddenly got very dusty in here…


    “Poopetrator.”

    I love Buzzfeed.
