A Tale of Boredom.

It kinda stinks, I spoke too soon on my last blog post when I said that this book was fast pacing. This last chapter changed all of that, It was still interesting however. I think I can see how it gist of the whole plot but i'll just have to wait and see.

This reading brought the introduction of three new characters, the Winklevoss' and Divya. The Winklevoss' Cameron & Tyler were identical twin, soon-to-be olympic row boaters. They had rowed almost everyday since they were four and upon graduation are expected to compete olympically. Intelecually,they are very different although they're both smart. Tyler was right-handed, more logical, and serious minded. On the other hand, Cameron was left-handed and the more creative and artistic of the two brothers. However, when they "worked the oars" their personalities became one, they seemlessly rowed the boat down the Charles River. Although the two brothers didn't have "old money" they came from a family of prestige, and were therefore accepted into the most prestigious "club" at Harvard, The Porc. The porc wasn't about social institution, or girls or parties, it was about Status, and the future. Girls were only allowed to the club building on their wedding day and on the member's 25th club reunion; That's all. The two brothers had been working with Divya on a "secret project" called The Harvard Connection. Divya was born into a wealthy family also; both his parents were doctors. On The Harvard Connection, students could find dates, as well as make friends with other students at Harvard. It was the first of its class and right when they were close to start making it, their sole computer programmer quit. Now Tyler, Cameron, and Divya were all on a quest to find a new computer programmer, but the task isn't as easy done as said.

I guess I do realize the point of this chapter. I have a feeling that Mark or Eduardo base the idea of Facebook on the Harvard Connection, seeing that Facebook was originally only for college students. Maybe Tyler, Cameron & Divya will hire Mark as their computer progammer; Or maybe Eduardo will steal the idea from them and never tell Mark, forcing them to sue. Right now I have no idea, but my mind's open to any possibilities, only more reading will tell.
