Geordi,
Is there a way to enter our authorization codes by typing them instead of speaking aloud to the computer? Several crew members have complained that they need to memorize a new code after each use because coworkers overheard them.

This is cellular automata applied to a staggered grid, like in beaded peyote stitch. All of these images were created with the same algorithm, what I call “Vines on a Fence.” The only difference among them is how I started each patch. I give the recipe for Vines on a Fence on page 105 of my new book

Did I spend all day coding instead of doing the things on my long end-of-semester to-do list? Yes. Is my app cooler now? Also yes.

Can you find 11 simultaneous 11-queens solutions? I wrote a little app to search for them. There are regular solutions (each row shifted), but I'm looking for one that is more interesting. Maybe it doesn't exist? Press the button and see if you can find it :)

Granny Life update: The new arrangment will be an 11x11 grid of squares arranged using 11-queens solutions and latin square conditions. I made a little app to find examples: mathgrrl.com/simultaneous...

Getting so many squares for the Granny Life project that the piece is now going to be two-sided. Had to make up a new whip stitch to get the attachment right. @crochet 🧶

@mathgrrl.com I’m enjoying making squares for the Granny Life Project. Here’s a diagram that I made of what the basic stitch layout looks like if you want to make your own design, or if you want to color in what you’ve crocheted as you go along for your Granny Life square.

My job is assembly, so today I am learning about braided fishing wire and how to tie fishing nets. Hoping to incorporate a strong net grid into the project. It's going to weigh about 15-20 pounds!

My friend showed me this daily web game: Which Year? It shows five photos, and you have to guess the year for each one. You can get four free digits with no penalty, but each digit can be used only once (in other words, you can get the thousands, hundreds, tens, or ones each only once). whichyr.com

Next part of the layout for the www.grannysquarecrochet.com project. Trying to keep things balanced with local strategies: put similar colors a knight’s move apart rather than same row/column, keep similar patterns away from each other, try to bring down bright colors using neighboring colors
