The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

The Interim Computer Museum

I visited the museum in Tukwila today and he’s done a really phenomenal job with it.

I couldn’t find Stephen or the museum on Bluesky but he was easy to get a hold of through the museum’s website. icm.museum

Just a thought from a listener! Thanks.

@bcantrill.bsky.social @ahl.bsky.social Hey guys! If possible I think you should have Stephen Jones from the Interim Computer Museum on the podcast. Stephen used to work at the LCM and is continuing its legacy with the ICM. He talked about it on a recent episode of @scott.hanselman.comβ€˜s pod.
