Two remarks:<p>"extra-ordinary professor" is roughly the same as a "associate professor" – an ordinary professor is a tenured one (roughly). So no wonder Prof. Liebig wasn't happy about it.<p>They should have mentioned the Superfest glass (also referred to as CV-Glas or Ceverit) made in East Germany. It's still mindblowing it's not made anymore. I hope someone is eventually picking this up again.
I would encourage anyone who hasn’t to try and see a glassblowing demonstration. It’s about as different from programming as any creative process could be - real time, intuitive, working with an unstable material - but something in it really spoke to me.<p>The Chrysler museum in Norfolk VA has amazing free demonstrations almost every day which are amazing if anyone happens to find themselves in Southern Virginia.
