Ruby and Cafe Scifi+tique

You wouldn’t be surprised to meet Ruby enthusiasts at a Japanese science fiction convention.

Shimura’s got embedded Ruby running in Illustrator. Press a button, and that evals to ’7′.

The back story: Shimura’s part of Cafe Scifi+tique, a performance event put together by Japanese science fiction fans to invert and parody the creepy ‘maid cafe’ scene.

Cyn and I paid 500 JPY each to sit down with an actual scientist while we were served tea and juice for a half hour.

The annoying thing is that the mad scientist cafe’s set up in the far part of the convention hall, while another group’s running a maid cafe in the main exhibit hall.
