How Sergey Brin changed the world

sergey brin googleIt's always interesting to take a dive into the lives of successful web based entrepreneurs to see what made them, and what their lives are like. Of course the guys behind Google are no exception. Larry and Sergey went from Stanford Ph.D. dropouts with an idea in a garage and went on to form a multi-billion dollar search company. If you are into Google and Entrepreneur life, you might be interested in spending a few minutes reading through Mark Malseed's report on the life of Sergey Brin.

Mark mentions interesting facts from how Sergey and Larry share an office in a far corner away from the public eye in the Googleplex like they did back in the garage days. He describes the office environment and how it resembles a large adult play area with the latest tech devices and comfortable seating arrangements scattered about. (but of course we knew that.)

Mark also had the chance to sit down with Sergey's parents in the suburbs of Washington DC to talk with his Father, a mathematics professor at the University of Maryland, and his Mother a research scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Both of his parents still cannot believe the success that Google has achieved, and how many people it has helped by saving large amounts of time and energy. Mr. and Mrs. Brin take readers on a tour of Sergey's childhood, and how this lead to co-founding a web based company that changed the world forever.

The Google Plane gets million dollar upgrades

Every successful individual needs a plane. And you know you've made it when you get one. Google's founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page have a plane of course. A 767 that they purchased a year ago, and now its time to upgrade a few items on it.

Page and Brin plan on outfitting the plane with a rumored $10 million budget. Upgrades to the 767 include King size beds, and $600,000 worth of high-end exotic wood veneer.

Sounds like the Google founders are about to create the best flying mansion there is. Can I have a ride? Please!

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
