extraordinateur

I really do like Leuven. Bruno and I went to STUK, initially to see Champ d'Action's installation of speakers whizzing around on cords (which wasn't really functional), and ended up in a mass of cool technologically-informed exhibits, the least advanced and most memorable of which was "Man OS 1 / extraordinateur," in which a couple of bumbling German dudes perform all OS comamnds... literally.

The vegetarian restaurant we tried so hard to find was closed on weekends (Leuven being a Belgian university city), so we ended up at a Chinese restaurant where the thick lady with a very strong Chinese accent shortened "alstublieft" to "blieft", and then arrived quite late for Philippe's slideshow of his recent travels.
