Off To China

So my roommate is off to China to design boxes for shoes manufactured in chinese sweatshops. (atta boy buddy)
Want to follow his travels? Check out his online diary that starts up this Sunday.

It will be sad to see him go, but I know he will be alright since China just demonstrated How To Uncloak An Invisible Object.
Thank God!

Money quote:
"Cloaking is an important problem since invisibility can help survival in hostile environment," says Huanyang Chen of Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China. He and his colleagues have proposed a theoretical "anti-cloak" that would partially cancel the effect of the invisibility cloak, which is another important problem as it turns out.

to be clear, I will be whipping the designers here while they create the layouts of the boxes that other chinese will toil over. I will also make sure to whip those people as well. All hail big boss Ryan. Or fall by the crushing blows of my fist!
