The Science Museum

Visited the science museum on friday with Frankie and Martyn, and we had a lovely time. Especially worth seeing, especially if you are as geeky as me, is the great history of computing, although it seems the PDP-1 has been put in the gaming exhibition which has sold out. And not even pretending to be from the Make-A-Wish foundation would have got us in, apparently...
Upsettingly, however, the Science Museum is a user-experience nightmare...queues, broken machines, non-visual exhibits and weird paths around the exhibits. Letters will be written! And the future, apparently, consists of woky tables, crashed windows boxes, intelligent toilets and choosing the gender of our babies. Pretty much what I'd expected, then. So much for the Singularity.
Amazingly, however, we did acquire a Michel Foucalt finger puppet. Household arguments have acquired a much more surreal tone!
