The New Year starts now
I’ve actually been home for a few days, but they still felt like holiday days, mainly because Brother and the two boys came back to Christchurch with me. The trip to Christchurch was their (and my!)

Show and tell
Sometimes I really love my job. This afternoon, the university’s HITLab (which stands for Human Interface Technology, for the uninitiated) had an open day.

I like the last one too!

The last one, definitely the last one.
That is SERIOUSLY impressive though, I love it…. the mental sparks are flying… GAH! I have too many PHDs already, can’t possibly start a new project. WANT to though!
I like the 4 squares in the middle and diamond shaped from your previous post best, I think. So pretty 🙂
Last one for me too! You are one clever little kitten. Well done and Happy New Year.
