Copying a database over to clone the website; I'm toasting most of the data, but I think it will still work as a demo site.

teaching at toshiba

Yay! for the first time I got to have a bit of a tour in Toshiba Science Museum on Christmas day.

It's actually quite interesting; they've got a couple of presentations every half hour, at least one of which involves materials cooled with liquid nitrogen for super conductive levitation around a small circular track.

I hope I can get them to put Francois on the hovering block some time!

Spoilers ahead!!

Due to the Streisand Effect, I'm watching The Interview. It's got some funny parts, and some racist parts.. but isn't all that thought provoking.

Spoilers next!!

Just finished the movie. I was optimistic that they wouldn't kill KJU, but they did. The character played by Diana Bang was great+funny+hot!

Some of the humor was childish; some of the violence was overdone; KJU's death was quite graphic.

I hoped they would just leave it at him crying, not going crazy, and not being killed. Bah.
