Anecdote: In 2022, while visiting San Francisco, I had the chance to explore the campus. Wandering through the quiet, empty halls of the summer buildings, I was just about to leave when I unexpectedly came across Knuth's office [1]. I had to do a double take—it was surprisingly small for someone of his stature. Yet, in a way, it felt perfectly fitting, a reflection of his unassuming nature.

About the checks: I have not 1 but 2 checks. Small typos, nothing big: but wonderful to have these two documents.

That's a pretty cool office - not sure what other types of offices are available in the campus, but still. (Typing from the open office of hell)

is he still use that office? I thought he mostly spent his time in his home office

Looks like a recent move or temporary office. Box of random items, basic paper name “plate,” stacks on the desk …

Nice that he has a slide rule on the desk (under the front basket) looks like a K&E Deci-Lon case.

I think it's a neat photo, and I appreciate the spirit of your post, but I recommend you to modify or delete it, unless you got his consent to post.

Not that anyone would, but I would be creeped out if I learned that people were posting pictures of my office without my knowledge.

It's public knowledge that he's a prof at stanford and publicly available directories can lead you to his office. Not to mention that he's famous enough that this is almost certainly not the first time someone shares a photo like this.

If it was a photo of his home I'd understand but this is essentially public knowledge.
