To get this working, you'll need the [live-streaming software from RICOH][1]. Install that and follow the [live video instructions][2] to connect your camera to your computer and have it show up as a video source.

If you're on a Mac, you can open up the FaceTime app and test it by picking "THETA UVC Blender" from the Video menu.

Once all of that is working, open up index.html and you should see the video rendered on the inside of a sphere that you can rotate around. Use the mouse to click and drag to move the camera around and the mouse wheel to zoom in and

Cryptography - check against government power

• Conversations lately are talking about "crypto wars 2.0" (Schneier, et. al)
• Mid '90s, crypto was weak and bad - maybe deliberate to facilitate brute-force hacking by state-sponsored players

Himawari-8 animation tutorial

Here’s how to make animations like this one. It requires intermediate Unix command-line knowledge, to install some tools and to debug if they don’t work. You’ll need these utilities:

• curl (or you can translate to wget)
• convert and montage, part of ImageMagick
• ffmpeg, plus whatever codecs
• parallel, for iteration that’s nicer than shell for loops or xargs
• run everything in zsh for leading 0s in numerical ranges to work
