Max 18

Tuesday 9 March 2010

Today is my son Max's 18th birthday. Although he is not my oldest, in many ways he is my eldest. It's been a pleasure watching and helping him grow into a man, and it will be difficult to let him go off to college in the fall.

He's made various appearances in this blog over the years, making a micro Lego AT-AT and social disturbances at 10, a Flash movie at 11, scientific observations and programming first steps at 13, innovative cinema at 14, a stop-motion movie for French class and an OS X application at 16.

I'm very proud of Max and everything he's done, and I'm looking forward to what's next.

Happy Birthday, Max!

Happy Birthday & welcome to The Big Room, Max!! Knowing Ned, I'd bet you are well prepared.

I would encourage Max to read this rather tritely titled piece I wrote on internships: http://www.friday.com/bbum/2009/01/31/careers-internships-you/

Of all the other amazing opportunities unique to college life, the internship opportunities stand out. It is the one time you will get a chance to effectively beta test companies you might like to join....
