Time flies regardless of additional qualifiers.

Think Computer Corporation

I spend a lot of time at my desk working on Think Computer. It's a company I started in high school in order to survive high school. Had I not started it, I would have done homework and school-related activities all day, every day. As we all know, that is bad. The company focuses on software now, including Whiteboard, Exponent and Lampshade, but it started out with consulting. This means that I spent lots of time in people's basements dealing with their pets while talking to their computers, asking them why they refused to work. I grew sick of this after a while. Think services now include web site hosting and credit card processing, as well.

Think Computer Foundation

My senior project in high school was starting a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. I used funding from my company, so I called it, not surprisingly, Think Computer Foundation. Now it doesn't do as much as I would like, and the web site is really, really out of date. For a while, the Foundation sent computers to children in Jamaica, Brazil and...Cleveland. It was interesting having really old dusty systems sitting in the guest room on the second floor of our house. Interesting in that it gave my parents a new reason to yell at me continually.

Harvard College Student Entrepreneurship Council

I thought I could maybe get some people at Harvard into entrepreneurship. It turned out to be an adventure in a world of frustrating bureaucracy! I wrote houseSYSTEM in an effort to centalize information for students, but mostly ended up getting yelled at by lots of people, including Larry Summers. Same goes for the workshop where we tried to teach students about technology. God forbid.

Note: As of 2006, this organization no longer exists.

The Land of Strange Irony Known as Harvard

I go to school at what some people call one of the most prestigious universities in the world. I don't really care. I like making fun of it. For example, I hate finals. Also, did you know that when you park your car in Harvard Yard, the creepy guys at MIT can watch you do it?

My friends and I have come up with some solutions to the world's problems based on the great quantities of knowledge we've gained at Harvard. For example, Arianna figured out how how to solve the Middle East crisis. We both idolize John Ashcroft (alias Tom), who likes to sing a lot. Donald Rumsfeld is another one of our favorite political figures.

Then, there was this one day when I wanted to get a bagel for breakfast. It turned into an epic saga, the likes of which rival the Odyssey, and those other sagas you often read. This was before or after the MIT 50K, which Think Computer lost due to its "tenuous connection" to MIT—a full-time MIT undergraduate. One guy who beat us wanted to help us walk on water (fast forward to 1:32:47).

I'm an Economics concentrator. I'm Economics, and not Computer Science as most people might expect, because I've never really been sure what exactly is computer science. I'm a concentrator, and not a major, because Harvard administrators enjoy forcing overblown terms onto students to make them appear stuck-up.

Shaker Heights High School

Once upon a time, I spent insane amounts of time doing homework for the wonderful teachers at Shaker Heights High School. You can get a sense for the district by watching the lovely Shaker Heights Kindergarten Freak Show, one of the early stages of torture that residents' children are subjected to. Things I loved to hate: Model United Nations and the band, both of which I made web sites for. Then they were taken over by other people.
