Well now, the Tetris blanket has its own film!!
...
Okay, so that might be a bit of an overstatement. But it does feature on a real-life purchaseable DVD!
Back in January, a group of us went to see a "maths- and science-based stand-up comedy show" at the Bloomsbury Theatre: a trio called Festival of the Spoken Nerd presenting Full Frontal Nerdity.
At the interval, they asked people to Tweet the "nerdiest thing you've done in London" - so I sent them a picture of the Tetris Blanket.
After the interval, they showed some of the Tweets... including my blanket! Which got a very satisfying "ooooooooh" from the whole theatre of over 500 people :) Such a proud moment!
While I receive no royalties for my "ooooooooh", if you like nerdy science then I recommend the DVD - you can get a copy for, like, £5 from their shop.
