    This was held at the ccrma stage! So many great talks and concerts have been held there. I have used that room to stream phish shows and watch cabin in the woods in 5.1 :D

    If you are in the bay area you should definitely go check out one of the events, they are all free and open to the public.

    A comprehensive autobiographical video interview with Knuth from a few years ago:

    The word "eccentric" springs to mind. (I mean that in the nicest possible way)

    Gotta love this Christian.

    Not meant to be insulting or disparaging but I'm curious: Does Knuth have some form of highly functional autism or related? His body language is very weird to me. Staring at the floor a lot, seems to be lost in thought, etc.?
