20 and On Top of the World

Upon turning twenty this past Wednesday, I had somewhat of a revelation. I was browsing through the newest edition of ever-so-popular magazine Rolling Stone. If I wouldn't have joined this class in August, the article that I stumbled across would never have interested me. It was about Blake Ross. For those of you get absolutely nothing out of that name, you might want to read it again and do some research. This young man is only twenty years old. (Keep in mind that I just celebrated this great age!) The difference between us is that he's not sitting in an English 106 class four days a week. Oh no! He's too busy creating Web browsers like Firefox. Yes, he is the genius who has attracted 87 millions users. Ross has been called "Microsoft's worst nightmare". Firefox improves on Internet Explorer by getting rid of the viruses and pop-ups, something we could all definitely live without. Blake is taking time off from Stanford and the whole Firefox deal to start on something new. He won't tell us what he's brewing up, but I'm sure it will be well worth the time we're waiting. To sum up my findings, I'm 20 years old just like Blake Ross, but the most important thing I've ever created is an English paper that only my teacher sees. This man should definitely come visit me and give me some tips!
