Really sad that the Living Computer Museum is still closed with no apparent plans to reopen — it was such a cool place to visit.

Apparently Paul Allen didn’t leave any plans to keep the museum running in his will.

@dan @tobinbaker we got official guidance that we are now to refer to the college we are in as The John and Marsha Price College of Engineering, Price College of Engineering is not allowed except in certain exceptional cases

Also the new building they're starting will be the Price Computing and Engineering Building, but c'mon you gotta just call it the PCB, right?
