Wow, WoW.

So I finally caved in. No, I have not seen Titanic (NEVAR!). I started playing World of Warcraft.
I know, I know. Mock me all you want. I was sucked in by my friends Julia and Stacey, who were sucked in by their friend Claire (she's a knitter so it's cool.) I didn't want to do it but I got this new computer and all, so I needed to test it's capabilities. Haha.

Anyway, for any geeks that play reading this:

Stomperbears
Draenor
Night Elf Hunter lvl 85
Guild: Dropped Stitches

"Anything a king gives twice is an Order."

"If the king gives me a dead halibut, he has given me a dead halibut. If, next week, he gives you one, we are now Companions of the Halibut and I'm the principal."

(from Silverwing's Laws which relates to SCA but I just liked this "law" in particular.)


Oh, and try this geek test if you dare:

fa'c shizzle my graphizzle




































Rap as Math


Whew, well I just spent a whole weekend thinking about nothing but one stupid hat!
Well, I take that back. It was probably the smartest hat ever, for sure it was smarter than me!
The hat is done with a series of cables that when interpreted from left to right represent the numbers from 0 to 15. In binary. HA!
So here is the way you read it: from bottom to top of the hat, no twist in a 'row' equals 0 (zero) and a twist in a 'row' equals a 1 (one). The hat has four applicable 'rows' (top to bottom) and sixteen 'columns' or cables (left to right).

The table explains the binary of the numbers from zero to ten.

Binary Decimal
0 0
1 1
10 2
11 3
100 4
101 5
110 6
111 7
1000 8
1001 9
1010 1









I know, I know. Don't hate me.





Here are some pictures of the hat and an illustration of each of the numbers:































So 15 in binary is 1111, or four twists on the cable.
People are surprised that I knit until I show them things like this.

Now about FAC. I am no longer quite so poor. But there is NO FAC IN FC THIS WEEK. Why?
Well because of this:

I am working this thing! It will be like the other events, with some great performances, some awesome burlesque, aerial acts (hoops and sashes!), and a ton of great art. Come on down!
