Alice wanders down a rabbit hole one day and finds Erik Meijer and Brian Beckman in the C9 studio. Whats going to happen? What does she find? Theres a plastic mouse, a hard drive, a hammer, database acid, a whiteboard and a couple geniuses in very rare form. Erik and Brian explain what a database really is... Erik drinks hard drive acid, takes a hammer to a mouse in search of the database it hides (Brians brawn is also employed in this endeavor), and Brian paints category theoretic expressions on the whiteboard. This isnt what you think it is, Alice. Its much, much more.

Enjoy.
