    This will be deeply relevant to a few of you. (From Tumblr: https://t.co/w8C7EpXGsW) @TheMartianLife @parisba https://t.co/AFlOz83GrV

    Saw that @GaelFC retweeted this and clicked with curiosity. Spent the next 20 minutes devouring this essay. Wow. Amazing writing from @drewmagary. https://t.co/WCq9sJDx8O


    @msharp Looks great! And presumably requires a lot less water and maintenance?


    @msharp Have you planted anything specific for the bees?


    Watch “Hairspray” stars from Broadway, movies, more sing the musical’s feel-good finale https://t.co/N5Hlugp9vH – This brought GREAT JOY to this theater geek’s face today. 😍👏


    Hang on. Is Indiana the only state where the name for its citizens doesn’t include the name of the state? I never realised. Pretty cool. #hoosiers https://t.co/UaikNOUlIV


    Ep 4: The Snook makes a “Jamaican Dream” – Internet exclusive! 😂❤️ https://t.co/tg8IgMLkVS


    @SarahMoran Soarinnnnn, flyinnnnnn…


    @SarahMoran It’s charming, and I non-ironically enjoyed it (and the sequels). I actually own the Wii “High School Musical” karaoke game! I am fairly certain I was the only person in Sydney to pre-order it. 😂

    @Gaohmee Did you ever read the profile of his first wife about their marriage? It changed the way I viewed him forever.

    Me: “So what you’re saying Dad, is that if you were on Jeopardy, the ‘Tremors Cinematic Universe’ would be one of your dream categories?”
    Him: “Oh man, @KenJennings would EAT ROCKS if I had that category.” 😂

    I have one of these! Almost one year ago, Ira Glass said, “Are you Lizzie?” to me outside a restaurant in NYC, and I said “No,” and then he found Lizzie and had lunch like 8 feet from us. https://t.co/ze90X83sNQ


    Photographic proof. 😂 (I think Lizzie is behind @the_snook, who refused to take part in my subterfuge.) https://t.co/Z1Qe0sIwM5


    @stephenlead I of course realised that like 10 seconds later. 🤦‍♀️

    EEEEK, it’s happening! My #AWSSummit debut. 😍 https://t.co/U1k0ujtkCA


    @NZMtnGoat Hi Ben! Apparently they’re working on it right now. 🙁 All of the sessions are going to be available on demand afterwards, so you’ll definitely be able to watch it once this is resolved.


    @NZMtnGoat The On Demand version now seems to be working!


    If you weren’t able to watch my session “A newbie’s guide to getting started with AWS” live, it’s available On Demand! Just scroll to the bottom of the list in the Transform track. #AWSSummit https://t.co/tOThptBgyX


    RT @AlexaCodes: Just watched ‘A newbies guide to getting started with AWS (Level 100)’ on demand. Great intro to AWS, Kris! https://t.co/eh…


    @techies It’s watchable On Demand now – just go to the Transform track and scroll to the bottom. “A Newbie’s guide…”


    My @DevAroundTheSun talk will be kicking off in just over 20 minutes! Tune in on Twitch to hear about my current project to knit the SAR-CoV-2 virus, as well as an epic attempt to teach a computer to reverse engineer sweaters. https://t.co/9uFYqLRZ2t https://t.co/Rgm1tF5xio


    @Scott_Addie @knitcodemonkey @jeffreystrauss @DevAroundTheSun Jen is actually credited on the thank you slide at the end, I believe! 😉


    The amazing work of @chixors and @HeartOfPluto_! ❤️ https://t.co/B3KCyv5pyB

    @nelli2k LOL, I’m definitely sharing that one at work. 😂


    @cczona @chixors @HeartOfPluto_ Nah, nah. Machine knit… on a custom hacked knitting machine!


    @CallbackWomen Let’s be honest – I take very little convincing. If you invite me, I’ll be there. 😊


    @cczona @chixors @HeartOfPluto_ IIRC it was pieced. More details here: https://t.co/F15XrkNeKF

    @starbuxman I still remember that you’re the one who introduced “soup to nuts” to me.


    Yay, @DevAroundTheSun is live and there’s my buddy @SaraJChipps! I’ve got just shy of 15 hours until my slot. Slides are done; timing is good… but I think I’m coming down with strep throat. FUN! I may have to do my talk via interpretive dance. 💃 https://t.co/9uFYqLRZ2t https://t.co/BTqR2u8fJj


    @DevAroundTheSun @SaraJChipps I figure adrenaline and Tylenol will get me through! But first, for the Aussies, it is time to sleep… 😴
