I knitted a Mandelbrot sweater for a maths geeky friend about 20 years ago… I think he’s still got it and still wears it!

If your sewing skills and equipment is minimal then you could try and make a tablecloth. (Me only a hand sewing emergency kit box is what I’ve got.)

This concept has been sitting on the Project Dalek site for some time. Still pretty cool.

I’m still wating to see a Dr Who and Prf Quatermass crossover . After all they did a Dr Who ,Star Trek crossover. Off Topic: I recently got 2010 Moby Dick on dvd , its a modern version of the classic story , I read Moby Dick in High School it was required reading ( My teacher Sara Lyn Blocker assinged it ) and I’ve seen the movie with Gregory Peck . This version has a Sub Captian after an very big and agressive White Whale.The theam of Moby Dick has be reused in many other storys : In Jaws Quint the shark hunter is like Cap Ahab , in two episodes of Star Trek the them was used In The Doomday machine Com Decker become obesesed with destorying the planet killer and Kirk in Obeseion with killing the vampire cloud, in the movie Star Trek 2 Khan is not only obsesed with killing Adm Kirk but even quiotes form Moby Dick ( ” From hells heart I stab at thee”) .

Brings some folks together, drives others further apart.

It’s bringing folks together… to drive away those *other* folks.

@ ^ Quiet Desperation :

The intertubez is able to – and has done to varying extents – both divide and unite. Like, pretty much, all technology we’ve ever invented it’s a double-edged sword.

Brings some folks together, drives others further apart.

Human nature is what it is.

Technology empowers us to do both the wonderful and the terrible as ever.

C’est la vie. Que cera cera. Whatever will be will be.

Always people there are. Getting things wrong. Getting things right. Maybe? Ambiguous lives lead.

The intertubez; making humanity one community! Well, we could hope.

If anything it’s made us more divided. It’s the perfect echo chamber for the ideologies on all sides.

Awe.
Freaking.
Some.

I’m into crafting (knitting is my preferred venue, and also my main addiction besides Dr Who), and I was aware that there are places out there that print up custom fabric. But I had no idea there were geeky crafters making such fantastic fabric prints! Much less that I could possibly BUY them!!!!

Now I need to come up with a project I can use this on!

You still here, Nigel? I thought you’d been quote mined into a coma back in the Texas evolution thread!

Yeah, that’s what they called themselves. “Trekkies” was, apparently, always considered to be derogatory.

Oh, how neat. Thanks for the bookmark as I’ll be going back tomorrow to explore the possibilities. And to think that I wouldn’t have found the site if it hadn’t been for my fascination with astronomy!! Crazy world, right?

Yeah, nobody knew about anything before the internet. I guess all those craft stores that were pretty much on every other street corner up until the 90s or so never really existed. Not to mention all the craft books on the shelves of pretty much every chain bookstore (remember those?)

Thank goodness the internet told us all about sex, too. The species would have died off.

Really, you don’t know about crafters? That’s what Michael’s is – Best Buy for crafters. Having two girls, they really enjoy making all sorts of crafts.

It’s actually a pretty nice store – they have lots of picture frames.

I adore my miniature 3′+ Doctor Who scarf that I got from someone on eBay many moons ago. Much easier to manage than the 17′ version. Stylish and warm, too!

That should read “Winter is coming”. Ned Stark would disapprove.
