Previous HN discussion about "Ordering burritos from my SPARC (1992) (mit.edu)": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25897535 Is the "Barfing Boy" sculpture that was in front of Adobe headquarters on Shoreline Amphitheatre Parkway still there in front of what's now Google? https://www.ilovemv.org/new-blog-1/category/public-art-tour3 I heard that the artist who they commissioned to create that sculpture assumed by the name of the road that it would be overlooking the shoreline, and meant it to represent a person leaning out of a window to enjoy the view, and they were dismayed that it was actually overlooking a garbage dump landfill, thus the "Barfing Boy" nickname. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a9576aa976af... The rotting garbage underneath the lawn of Shoreline Amphitheatre generated methane that you could light for amusement during concerts. |
