These things are the scourge of UW campus and a safety hazard.

Word problem:
If Caroline buys 10 lbs of clementines and 6 lbs of apples, and Jason buys a large amount of other snacks, how soon will Caroline have to go back to the store if there are 18 children at KidsTeam camp, about half of whom descend upon clementines like a horde of locusts?

The posters were mostly Capstone projects, but it's the 10 year anniversary of KidsTeam UW and we have a ton of undergrad research assistants and such so...

I'm sad it took me this long to go to the MILL at UW but it was a lot of fun to print and trim the KidsTeam @ischool.uw.edu Showcase poster myself.
(Also cheaper than most print shops...)

On Wednesdays we wear pink... Also finally getting through my mending pile. These jeans were getting too artfully torn and distressed.

I mean, I guess if I couldn't be at #CHI2025 in person, at least I was there in spirit*.
* (And by in spirit I mean I got cited, was an AC, and got to send one of my lab's grad students to the SV program.)

TFW when you're finishing your last @acm-idc.bsky.social review on Boat because you had too much @jococruise.bsky.social prep to do.

I made brown butter chocolate chip cookies with toasted walnuts. My housemate made zucchini muffins. We're trying to be better about making treats vs. buying them.

Sunday at OrcaCon I got switched from Games Admin to Paint and Take for my volunteer shift.
I'd been hoping to get to the Paint and Take all weekend so...
Anyways, I'll take some closeups of this guy later, I should've done a higher contrast color scheme.

Even if the snow is a bust (Seattle it almost always is, DC is variable.), I have already rescheduled my flight because it's gonna be a mess.
The same thing happened a few years ago and my flight was one of the few that went, but it had stopped snowing by then. Had to de-ice though, iirc.

Me: I should head back to the Seattle area soon
Weather: Hey so you know the day you scheduled your flight months ago
After the weather in the DC area has been in like the 50s and 60s for the past couple weeks
Me: Yes?
Weather: About that...

Yesterday's at Motorkat's Feast of Seven Fishes was a Pink Pony Club (rum, Campari, pineapple, lemon, and a cherry).
I'm not much of a drinker (I dislike the taste of beer and most wines), but I like to try a fun cocktail now and then.

Flew coast to coast yesterday, slept 12 hours, woke up at like 1pm ET, submitted two more job apps.
Now to eat what I think the youth might be calling "girl dinner" unless that's already passé.
Then IDC paper writing.
The exciting posts you all follow me for.

I also tried this the other night, my interdisciplinarity and lunchtime socials checks are highly visible.
(As is my fairly consistent sleep schedule, which I've been working on for the last couple of years.)

Not particularly fond of AI wrappers for everything, but I did want to see how it handled my account.
It can only work from what I've posted, so it thinks I'm into sci-fi more than I am (I like it, but I love fantasy a bit more).
Apparently I'm communicating the overall vibe successfully...

Well, I did my Wednesday prep shift, so now it's my housemate's turn to take over the kitchen.

Made this for the @seattleindies.bsky.social/Foundry10 Games and Education Collider.
Does anyone know the name/handle of the person who made this type of thing for Big Bad Con so I can give proper credit for inspiration/format?
(The four roles: researcher, influencer, moderator, organizer.)
