Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

SideBySide
I had no idea Disney had a research facility in Pittsburgh. Here's SideBySide.
That's in the CIC, the Collaborative Innovation Center. It's on the hillside between Hamburg Hall and that Panther Hollow bridge/ravine.
We (CERT) have office space in there, as had Microsoft, Secret Service, FBI, Google, CMU's CyLab. I can't say that I had realized that Disney had a presense in there as well.
CMU bought the few buildings on the other side of the ravine a couple years ago, including the Holiday bar and the Il Valetto restaurant/clothing shop.
Plans seem to be finally moving along to build CIC2. It is supposed to be a roughly mirrored building, on the opposite side of the ravine.
