This one may be a bit tightly wound for my liking.

Today's Gratitude Item: Winning a $20 shopping voucher for being quick to answer a survey related to Computing Teacher Professional Development.
Took a while to get the colouring right. Interestingly, this one is the same basic fractal as "Shell Bone"

Today's Gratitude Item: Finding a link to download Game Maker Lite version 7. The latest version is 8.1 and we use Game Maker at school for our game development unit. The problem was that 8.1 caused one of my student's computers to have a bit of a hissy fit. Annoyingly, the main links to Game Maker 7 on the official site no longer worked. After some intensive searching I was able to download good old version 7 which worked beautifully with my student's computer. It would have been great if YoYo games had not removed the older versions of the software from their site but such is life.
Loved the curved pattern that magically appeared. Lets just say that today has been a good day for creating fractals.

Today's Gratitude Item: Discovering xmind. Like freemind it's a piece of mind mapping software that is really useful. It has a few advantages over freemind in that it's possible to quickly and easily generate concept maps and join bubbles with arrows rather than straight lines. The basic version if free which is an added bonus. My students seemed to find it easier to use xmind which is a good thing.
For something relatively simple, this one took a while to create. It turns out that illustrating trees can be a lengthy process.

Today's Gratitude Item: Chocolate in my pigeon hole. I did a favour for a colleague and he put a large amount of chocolate in my pigeon hole. Needless to say, discovering said chocolate made a nice end to a very busy day.
The pattern is reminiscent of leather / snake skin hence the name.

Today's Gratitude Item: Getting my hands on a resource that I can use to assess one of the new Achievement Standards. Let's just say someone else did most of the hard work and was happy to share saving me heaps of time and stress.
