Thanks to fellow student Jeff Battaglia for reminding me of that.</p>
<p>Damn, it&#8217;s weird to realize that nearly everyone who works at Facebook was parented by someone around my age. It&#8217;s doubly weird to think that we&#8217;re bringing a new life into this world. Kids keep you young. Well, I certainly wouldn&#8217;t have known that World of Warcraft runs better on Windows XP than on OSX or on Vista if it weren&#8217;t for having a 13-year-old in the house.</p>
<p>Puts this whole <a href="http://www.techmeme.com/070617/p9#a070617p9">age debate that has been raging this week over on TechMeme</a> in a little different light. Damn, that&#8217;s the most worked up I&#8217;ve seen the Blogosphere in at least a week. Heheh.</p>
<p>Anyway, this debate between the youngins and the old is as old as life itself. I want to get involved in this whole debate, but I&#8217;m getting old and have learned that when it&#8217;s sunny in Half Moon Bay we best go outside and have a BBQ and enjoy the sun. So, I&#8217;ll leave this debate to the professionals. 🙂</p>
<p>Hope you&#8217;re having fun.</p>
<p>UPDATE: I couldn&#8217;t stay away. Anyone who thinks that old people can&#8217;t come up with innovations, or new ways of looking at the world, or can&#8217;t understand Facebook should go have dinner with Douglas Engelbart. He&#8217;s 82 if I remember right and I&#8217;ll put his brain against Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s any day of the week.</p>
