The first time I was aware of Larry as a person was in early 2014 when I saw a replay of him on stage at the 2013 Google I/O event. I immediately got an impression of him as being a truly saintly figure, with his gentle, soft-spoken demeanor.

Considering what I have been going through in my daily life, I could not be more in awe of what Larry has been able to accomplish. I feel that Google is easily an order of magnitude more important than the next closest institution, be it public or private, be it a business or a government.

My offering to Larry is a little thing that I've been working on for the past several years called "Linux on the Web". If you stick those four words together and put it into a relevant search engine, then the link should appear as the top hit. It only works in Chrome... a fact that truly warms my cockles at this moment.

I f*ing love that man.

Screw all the haters.

Suggestion to all potential future reporters out there: pay more attention in your math, science and engineering classes, and less in your liberal (f)arts classes.

No. You do not create technology that serves real humans by refusing to study the humanities.

I don't have any strong opinions on Page as a person, but if you decide that someone saintly based purely on their stage presence, you are in serious danger of getting taken for a ride by any charismatic jerk who crosses your path.

You were making sense, until this last para. Have some compassion - you don't seem to care that a human (journo) is degraded into such a position (used emasculate to describe his position) by another (although no fault of the latter). Its good that humans are different, for various reasons -- its so obvious. Going by your logic, what Mr. Page does is fart compared to say a Roger Penrose writing 'The Road to Reality'.

All said, we all try our best, you know. Your project looks interesting. So is mine, or that journalist's or Larry Page's or Roger Penrose's. In the large scheme of things, who knows what really matters.
