Cheeky little dodecahedron made out of a loo roll tube.

I've updated my #wodb maker to prompt for image descriptions, and to show you suggested alt text for the final image.
Suggestions for a better format for the alt text are welcome!

I've made a tool for making "Which One Doesn't Belong?" pictures.

You can put text or pictures in each square, and change the colours of the background and text.

#WODB

My new nickname for the toddler

Mathematicians: the first step in solving a problem is to write your problem out in the simplest terms you can.

Also mathematicians:

You, a tech startup with millions in angel finance: made an app to turn handwritten maths into TeX.

Me, just the worst kind of smart alec: convinced a pen #plotter to turn TeX into handwritten maths

That's better: now the symbols don't look like the ghosts of overfull hboxes

Omg it draws TeX! #plotter

Today I have had a lovely time writing a Numbas extension for graph theory.

The 3-year-old asked for a rainbow heart.

Took a moment with the #plotter!

I think I got my #plotter to draw a rainbow!

A few days into #plotter fiddling, this is the first thing that has really made me go wow!

Excuse me for reading the first paragraph and assuming the investment in the north would be on the same order of magnitude as the one in the south

This is simultaneously objectively rubbish and subjectively lovely.
My very first #plotterdon

My 3-year-old would like to know what winter looks like around the world. Could you reply with a photo of what it looks like near you at the moment?

Here's what it looks like near us, in North-East England.

What's this a drawing of?

Is it just me or is this graph sad?

oeiswhack: enter a short, meaningful, sequence of integers into oeis.org, returning no results.

I think this is probably the best oeiswhack I'm ever going to get

I have a #puzzle in the current issue of New Scientist, thanks to Rob Eastaway for xoming up with clearer wording.
(Though that didn't stop my dad from getting it wrong and insisting that the puzzle was incorrect instead of his solution)

Paternity leave over. Yikes!
