    @parisba Ooh, where did you find the pin backs? The ones I’ve got are just rubber and they suck.


    @parisba PS if you have spare mad scientists I will trade you for a table flipper…

    “Make it sew.”


    Just commandeered a conference room to do a final #awscommunity Day rehearsal with @frankarr and @aileengemma. Looks like I’m ready to rock! 🤘 Still time to register for the live stream… https://t.co/tAauz6Z1fL https://t.co/wMJKAam6ac


    @Amys_Kapers @frankarr @aileengemma YASSSSSS. (No knitting content in talk though. I didn’t have room, what with all the @evanderkoogh material.)


    @Amys_Kapers @frankarr @aileengemma @evanderkoogh He’d better be. *cackles mysteriously*


    @parisba These stories are just awful. I feel very fortunate that the few people I know in the games industry – like you @thesecretlab folks – are awesome, good human beings.


    RT @lisawaananen: Very excited that @terrainspokane accepted my #dataviz baby quilt idea for this year’s show! https://t.co/YiJMIgjXHp


    Argh. I’ve been a big supporter of @Olacabs but I’ve had so many cancelled rides lately. This morning driver accepted (11min away), cancelled 5 min later, and suddenly price jumped 2x when I tried to get a new one. So I’m in a taxi. 😕


    @autiomaa I live next to the Sydney CBD. One extra ride request shouldn’t be enough to push it up that much unless I’m the only person using the service. (And I expect Uber to be evil and predatory, which is why I don’t use them. I’m sad if Ola is emulating.)

    Wow, Friday’s #awscommunity Day tickets are now closed! I’m going to be talking about a serverless app I built at 3:20pm. If you want to watch, you can register for the live stream here: https://t.co/tAauz7gC7j https://t.co/YVWOrJGNLO


    @evanderkoogh Perfect. *rubs hands*


    @bazscott @evanderkoogh I’m cultivating an air of mystery to drive attendance. 😉


    Finally got the pins I ordered. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ https://t.co/r7tyZQLyzr https://t.co/tKJjysrCjS
