Well, today is my first first day of school that I’m not attending. It feels weird that for the first time in nine years, I am not waking up at the crack of dawn, posing for a picture on our front porch with my siblings. It feels weird that for the first time […]

I was reading the new Newsweek yesterday evening, after being intrigued by its cover story on Facebook. The face of 23-year-old creator Mark Zuckerberg was smiling up at me, beckoning me to read his story. And quite a story it was…
