Unknown to most of my friends is the fact that, in addition to Computer Science, I also majored in Political Science while at U.C. Berkeley. I was never interested in pursuing a career in the field, but I just loved politics — and still do — so much that I wanted to take in all I could about the subject. I think that all good stories teach people something about the world around them, and politics is an obvious way to do that, if you can do it well.
