A wall of Spam cans stacked many layers high and deep. Superimposed over it are UI elements from the Google 1998 homepage: a search box, a 'Google Search' button, and an 'I'm feeling lucky' button. The middle four rows of Spam cans have been colorized to match the Google four-color logo tones.

@pluralistic omg omg omg! I live in Tallinn but will definitely come for the last one! Been reading your newsletter for a year and I love how your thoughts extend my understanding of nuances on many things.

Do you know if the hackers room will be open to public, or just students?
