Some other stuff I did...
I tweeted Michelle Obama with gardening tips, which I'm sure she appreciated no end.

I registered to donate my organs (which I thought I'd already done, so it was a good thing I checked!)

I turned Kevin Tran into a My Little Pony and Osric kindly retweeted it.

I made a silly video - our alternative CNN end of the world broadcast

Oh and I made a zoetrope and tried to film it - it's a conquistador riding a giant tortoise but you can't see it very well in the vid! Worthy of note here - I discoveered that the black paper I used to make the drum had been hanging around in a drawer since 1976. I hope Misha appreciates that I finally found a use for it!

Well duh! I totally thought I had friended you, and I hadn't! (this happens to me at least twice per year.) Now it's fixed!

Love the art on your Zoetrope. I went pretty quick/cartoony, but I also printed them out. I started drawing ,and then though … wtf? This tortoise is only two fricken frames, why draw him 20 times? That way I could colour him too. :D

How did your spin? Mine was on a stick, but yours looks like it's in a little spinny holder???

I was going to make a spindle thingy, but then I was looking around the house and found a Cadbury's biscuit tin with a slightly domed lid and had a eureka moment!
