Loved the interview ita.
I think social media, esp, twitter and tumblr, changed a lot of things between fandom and their...objects? It's more immediate and personal all around, for better or worse.
It's kind of amazing in an awful way when factions of fandom turn on people. For instance, Lana Del Ray was reviewed by the Guardian, said some strange things, then accused the writer on Twitter of manipulating her. So, some of her fans attacked, even though he's got a recording of her saying what he printed he said. [link] It'd be interesting to hear from someone who has been though a fandom attack. Either a creator or bystander.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hil, I would never have guessed. Have you completed 11? Any hints? I don't want to look in the comments, because sometimes they just show you the solution.
Thanks, Sue!

Interesting. Let me see what I can find.

Yeah, I finished 11. I'm stuck at 19.

I enjoyed the interview, ita. I'll look forward to any others you post.
My new passport arrived today. The other one expired last month, so I had to send off for a replacement. Given that I only leave the US every couple of years, it suprised me how uncomfortable I felt without having it handy. I guess I want to be able to jet off at a moment's notice, should my life's plot line call for it. Well, now I can--yay!

Can I have a hint? What's the first tool you used?
I swear I read someone else being stuck at 19 too. I don't know if it's because of my aged geometry knowledge, but they don't strictly seem to be increasing in complexity. Or they are, and I'm sometimes making great guesses, sometimes bad.

Thank you! It was so fun to do, and I learnt a lot.
Okay, if I transscribe on the balconly in the Adirondack chair, it'll go faster, right? That and problem 11.

Midpoint, I think. I had to try a few different things before figuring out how to do it.

I am still dead stuck on it, after having used a Compass2 solution that I can't see why it wouldn't get the relevant distances right at the offset angle. Time for something different.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
geometry play-and-post!
I spent the day cataloguing my sister's Italian ceramics collection. Which sounds like a total first world problem but arrrgh! Because it took hours, and it's only the first part of the work--and not even finished at that!--followed by emails and trying to sell the stuff and probably eventually boxing it all up myself. And I. Hate. Packing.
