It's hard to overstate my mom's influence on me. 

My dad will always be "the real Bill Gates" to me.

I have many fond memories of messing around on the teletype at Lakeside with Paul, Ric, and our friend Kent Evans.

I wrote my first video game in high school: my own text-based version of Lunar Lander. 

I learned a lot by experimenting with the PDP-10 in Harvard's computer lab. I even used it to make an interactive baseball game. 

I loved listening to the album Donovan's Greatest Hits with my friends.

Paul saw the magazine at Out of Town News, a news kiosk on Harvard's campus.

My grandmother "Gami" taught me how to play cards. She was super good at card games, and I'll never forget the first time I beat her.

I've always been an eager reader. Many of the books I read as a kid shaped who I am today.
