05/17 - Failure Friday

Day 75: I'm getting a little nervous about Chippy. His colors changed which leads me to believe he is evolving. Evolving into what? I don't know but he is exhibiting aggressive behavior when my mouse moves near him. I fear, if we are not careful, he will attack a new unsuspecting mTurk worker. I wish @ChrisTurk had better animal management processes in place but he seems more distant lately. Perhaps his experiments are driving him mad.

I found this yarn bowl. it's probably big enough for a super saver jumbo skein of red heart yarn. but it costs $300! I might get a colander from walmart instead.

 

Colander's cost $300 at walmart?

 

go to wayfair.com I got a gigantic set of mixing bowls for like $35
