Scoop from Palo Alto!
zachklein:
I heard from an employee close to the deal that the Mormon church’s genealogy business made an unsolicited bid to acquire Facebook.
While maintaining the country’s largest ancestral database, they certainly have a motive to control this generation’s biographical data, and they certainly have the cash to do it. In 1996, Time Magazine estimated the church’s annual revenues to be $5...

I find it funny that Josh and I both have significantly longer bios than Michael Phelps on our school board’s “alumni hall of fame” page.
Hilarious — proves Internet entrepreneurs are so much more important than olympic record-breaking, best-in-the-world swimmers.

A Saturday Night Essay: Titles and India
In India, where I lived for 10 years of my life, people like to refer to people who are elder, more successful, or have a higher rank in society, with the title of “Sir” as a sign of respect.

I am...
