Well thank you ... and ... Happy New Year!
Nice.
How long before someone designs a space elevator made of limpet teeth? Are we going to be seeing limpet-spider-goats next year? They'd be right at home on a farm with man-bear-pigs.
The new AFMs sound amazing. I wonder, how many assumptions will be proven wrong just by seeing what's actually happening?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
I was going to make my own season's greetings post, but I'll just tack on to yours Ant and say Happy Holidays to all Sifters. This has been a bit of a crazy year for me IRL, but we're coming up to 10 years for VideoSift in February and we're planning something a little forward looking for our Siftiversary. See you all in the new year.
Sherlock: The Abominable Bride
This is the trailer for this year's Sherlock "Christmas" (actually New Year's) special - I don't think they've explained the fact that it's set in the Victorian period, though. You can find more info on the BBC website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b018ttws
I don't watch trailers -- don't like spoilers.
But what is this!!??!?!!! Benedict as Sherlock, but set in the past?
I WANT TO SEE THIS!!
Chinese/Lunar New Year
went to 3 different Chinese New Years dinners this week. Lots of hot pot (aka steamboat). Earlier tonight was the first time we did Yu Sheng (description). It's not well known outside of Singapore & Malaysia, so it's not surprising they didn't mention it.

Why Tipping Should Be Banned
I've worked the back of the house (dish washer, prep cook, pantry cook, line cook), and the front of the house (bartender, server).
I never got tipped in the back of the house, but I worked harder and utilized more skills. I got paid hourly, and would therefore milk the clock as much as possible to help buy booze and pay the rent.
As a bartender, I've worked at night clubs, dive bars, martini bars, hotel bars, house parties and I was paid a decent hourly, which was essential for those slow and lonely Monday night shifts. But I made good money on the weekends. However, it usually takes time to work your way to those lucrative spots.
As a server, I get paid a little more than $2 an hour plus tips. But the tips are so impossible to calculate because of a myriad of factors -- how many servers are on, how many tables are reserved, how many parties, what's going on at the Arena, what's going on at the Lied, is it snowing, is it raining, is there a sporting event going on, are they splitting the bill, have they worked in the industry, are they from a country unfamiliar with tipping, was the food good, was the food cold, was the drink stiff, was the wine paired well, was the host pretty, was the bathroom out of paper towels, ad nausea -- that budgeting is impossible. I don't auto grat (gratuity of 18 percent of the bill for parties of seven or more) unless it's a sorority party, Mormons, or New Year's Eve, and that's only because I've been burned so badly by these groups.
What most diners don't realize is that it's really a matter of real estate -- and on a busy weekend night one server may be lucky to 'have' four to six tables with a variable of two and four seats. Dinner is generally served between the hours of 5-11. So, this gives the server a set number of data points for the evening (side note, so for the love God don't linger at a table if you're not ordering anything! When a server is forced to refill your water at $2 an hour, it's rude and disrespectful. That's what bars are for). In addition, most servers 'tip out' the host and bartender staff. On a weekend night, I typically tipped out 22 percent, and I never knew if I'd make $30 or $130.
So I know the business fairly well (I even studied hospitality in Vegas for a minute), and as a server I can make your experience remarkable. Ironically, the best tippers are younger college-era students working in the industry.
I think if anything is going to eliminate tipping in the service industry, it'll be some sort of computerized experiment where you sit at a table and punch in what you want. Till then, be conscientious and considerate when you wine and dine.
