Wanna feel like a dummy?

Read some of the bios of the management team at Google. MIT, Yale, Harvard, Stanford. Masters, PHDs, post-doctoral degrees…. it almost seems gaudy. Brain hubris.

One guy created the Internet. Seriously. He and his buddy created TCP/IP, which is the standard protocol that birthed the World Wide Web: an mind-numbingly complex network of computer machines that has completely changed the planet. I once made a birdhouse.

Another guy holds a patent in the area of “access to cloud resources.” Which, despite my brief and giddy vision of using a cloud as a trampoline, or throwing a kegger on a cloud, apparently has to do with computers.

It’s good to know that these people are out there… stretching limits, finding new truths, pioneering firmamental fetes, and making it easier for me to, you know... Google stuff.
