Twilight at the Museums

For Mr Newly-4's birthday, I joined ghoti and family for Twilight at the Museums. Something I'd always heard of but never quite had time to go. It was cute! I didn't make it to Sidgewick or Arc & Anth, there was a massive queue, but I went to the Museum of Technology and Whipple for a bit.

Museum of Technology had fire jugglers outside (in the rain), and lots of low lighting coming up at the machinery, and a tape of various shanties making it sound very like a working place...

Brief Review: A Girl Corrupted by the Internet is the Summoned Hero?!

http://www.yudkowsky.net/other/fiction/girl-intercorrupted/

Yudkowsky wrote another story. A short one!! Apparently that's a genre in Japan? It tries to be, the plot of a book, but hustles through each chapter with much less filler than a normal novel.

A young woman who is heavily into internal things including online kinky things, is the prophesied hero summoned into another dimension to save the world. The characterisation of the main character is not perfect, but is better than I feared.

The focus on the rules of magic, the implications and subversions thereof, are the most interesting bit. I didn't think it was as interesting as HPMOR or some of Scott Alexander's stories, but it was worth reading if you like that sort of thing.
