Before a presentation at the #ComputerHistoryMuseum (I think in 2019) seated up front I happened to notice Donald Knuth (largely thanks to his name tag).
I introduced myself and thanked him for his work, which of course has had a big impact on mine.

@bitsplusatoms @kenshirriff Ken is *amazing*! Such a humble & nice & competent person! 
I wish I could meet him (and #CuriousMarc ) some day!! But living in Germany doesn‘t make it easy … And back in 2013 when I was in California and visited the #ComputerHistoryMuseum I didn‘t know about them.

@rzbrk Look what I found in my photo library – photos of a #pdp8/e and a #pdp11/20 I took in 2013 at the #ComputerHistoryMuseum in Palo Alto! 
I wonder if @kenshirriff could tell us more about these, if they’re still there today and if they actually work?!
At the #ComputerHistoryMuseum, I happened to meet both Don Knuth and Margaret Hamilton.
(When I was there a few weeks ago, I had also met Bob Metcalfe.)
Congratulations Nolan Bushnell and Allan Alcorn for being inducted into the Computer History Museum 's Hall of Fellows!
Yesterday at Silicon Valley's #ComputerHistoryMuseum I finally met Bob Metcalf, who co-invented Ethernet.
I had mentioned that, around 2007 when CHM solicited nominations for its wall of fellows, I nominated him. (He was inducted in 2008.) He thanked me.
It was a brief moment and I feel like I was tooting my own horn a bit, but he was gracious and a real class act.

THE GEEK WAY: A Handbook for a New Culture
What if the most important innovation in tech isn't what companies make but how they make them? New York Times bestselling author Andrew McAfee will share the elements of what he calls "the Geek Way," a new corporate culture that's fast-moving, egalitarian, evidence-driven, and more.

@kurth I saw a Robotron-made Macintosh clone in the collection at the #ComputerHistoryMuseum ( #CHM ).
One of my local buddies, #CuriousMarc , has a pretty cool channel on YouTube
Though he has a nice lab at his home, he sometimes visits the #ComputerHistoryMuseum as he does in this wonderful piece:
Lyle Bickley explains the PDP-1 (and we play the original Spacewar!)
@akozak
Agreed.
Many startups moving fast bought things at Fry's ... which was also very kind in flexible equipment donations to #ComputerHistoryMuseum for our main Exhibition.

Anti-trans folks might stop using things in whose creation crucial contributions were made by trans folks, like ARM microprocessors (Sophie Wilson, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_Wilson) or even more pervasive, VLSI semiconductors (Lynn Conway, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_Conway), both Fellows of #ComputerHistoryMuseum, among many honors. I still have my copy of Mead-Conway book.

If you aren't already, follow Shannon Vallor, terrific on tech+ethics. She did a great evening talk a few years back for us #ComputerHistoryMuseum Trustees, before she decamped for Edinburgh.

@lauren
Do you know where that IMP is now, if it still exists?
We have one at #ComputerHistoryMuseum, but it was donated by BBN.
