Vint Cerf in Esquire

For those of you who enjoy the fine pleasure that is reading Esquire, you were treated to a What I’ve Learned feature from internet father Vint Cerf.  A few of my favorite quotes.

It may seem like sort of a waste of time to play World of Warcraft with your son.  But you’re actually interacting with each other.  You’re solving problems.  They may seem like simple problems, but you’re solving them.

I find classical music a very beautiful way to focus my thoughts.
