The FUSEDChicago members recently gathered for a meeting. First we conducted some organizational business, but then we got to the fun part of socializing, noshing on goodies, and watching demos.

I had more inspiration under the brightness of the chilly sun on Friday and created another Princess Scientist inspired batch. Who can resist such a sunny table? Princess Chocolatier emerged from reviewing the molecular structure of Theobromine. I attempted to emulate the loopy notches of a microchip for the Princess Programmer pendant, and was surprised to […]
