Off-topic, but how sad to see the state of that website today. I read Sheldon's website religiously before he died, but hadn't seen it in over 10 years.
This[1] is how it looked like when he was alive. Now it's stuffed full of ads, and the first thing you see is a pop-up cookie warning about "our social media, advertising and analytics partners".

- acomjean 7y agoI didn't get the pop-up, but your right, its a hard with all those ads. The info is good, but without adblockage... There are some clasics on the archive.

Sheldon Brown's wife was my CS prof at northeastern[2] and someone named John Allen[1] seems to be keeping the site up to date. Oddly John's bike blog page is pretty good and ad free. Lots of words on the old web. http://john-s-allen.com/blog/ http://john-s-allen.com/blog/ http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/fell/#Courses http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/fell/#Courses
