The bag is finished, with only a half day left until the deadline!
I've never made a complicated bag with pockets and zips and a flap before, and working from my own imagination with no pattern or instructions to follow, I think I've done pretty well, though the order of construction was probably a bit unusual. Offspring no.2 has been in and out of my workroom all morning waiting for it to be finished, just in time for school to start tomorrow. It was custom built for them, dimensions to fit their laptop, and requested pockets. Really nice to find a use for the dragon fabric, and it matches their d20 climbing chalk bag I made previously. Hand sewn, because I haven't yet worked out how to do piping on a sewing machine.

did you know that Fibonacci numbers (where each number is the sum of the previous two) can convert miles to kilometres?
1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ...
pick any number in the sequence as your miles, and the next number in the sequence approximates the number of kilometres
this works because the ratio of consecutive Fibonacci numbers converges to 1.6180334 (the golden ratio φ), while the number of kilometres in a mile is 1.609344
to see how close this is, consider the approximation compared to the actual kilometres
miles km actual km
1 2 1.61
2 3 3.22
3 5 4.83
5 8 8.05
8 13 12.87
13 21 20.92
21 34 33.79
34 55 54.71
55 89 88.50
89 144 143.20

DIET DAY 1
I have removed all the bad food from my home.
It was delicious.
On this day in 1991 some college kid in Finland told people on Usenet he would not be doing a big and professional operating system. It would later be called Linux.
This is, quite possibly, the most entertaining interview i have ever encountered. You simply *must * read it. It keeps getting better with every question.

Apparently we've just seen the first murders committed by an autonomous AI-driven weapon.

In this case the weapon was a drone, it was Russian, and the victims were Ukrainian civilians. We're bound to see endless variations on this theme, starting now.
