Hello audience! On a sad note, this may be my last blog mainly because this is for a project in my class and I never made a blog in my life before XD. So today, i'll talk about Larry Page, the partner of Sergey Brin and the co-founder of the famous Google. Larry Page was born on March 26, 1973 Lansing, Michigan. Larry invented PageRank ( Which I talked about on my blog about Google) the sorting system of Google. Larry attended the Okemos Montessori School ( Now called Montessori Radmoor) in 1975-1979 and graduated in East Lansing high school in 1991. Following his parents footsteps he earned his Bachelor of Computer Engineering degree in the University of Michigan. He later moved to the University of Stanford and earned his Master of Science degree in computer engineering. At the University of Michigan he built a inkjet printer out of LEGO bricks, served as the president of the Beta Epsilon chapter of the Eta Kappa Nu and a member of the Maize&Blue University of Michigan Solar Car team. At an early age of 6, his house was filled with computers and computer engineering books laying on the ground, it wasn't long before he was engrossed in computer science. In his elementary school, he was the first person to hand in an assignment from a word processor. Along the way, his brother taught him how to take things apart, it also wasn't long for him to take everything apart in the house to see how it worked. When he was 12, he knew that he wanted to start a company eventually. At the University of Stanford he enrolled in a program for P.h.D students in computer science. He soon created a program named BackRub, which was soon joined by Sergey Brin, another P.h.D student. Larry and Sergey both met at the orientation for the P.h.D program, Sergey who has been in the program for 2 years had to show the new students around the campus including Larry. Larry's invention ''BackRub'' used a certain algorithm that didn't meet his expectations, so he created a new program named PageRank. PageRank used a certain algorithm that made sense and was approved of Sergey and Larry. Time passed on and Larry got married to Lucinda Southworth, Lucinda is a research scientist and also the sister of the model Carrie Southworth.

Sergey Brin, Mastermind of Google
Hello once again audience! Today, I reveal one of the masterminds behind the reputable Google, Sergey Brin! Sergey Brin was born on August 21, 1973 Moscow, Russia. Even though he was born in Russia, he is a Jewish american computer scientist and mathematician. When Sergey was at the age of 6, he moved to the U.S from the Soviet Union to an unknown reason. As time went on, Sergey earned an undergraduate degree following his father and grand father on mathematics and computer science at the University of Maryland. After his graduation he moved to the University of Stanford to acquire his P.h.D on computer science. There, he met Larry Page with, whom he later became friends with. They crammed their dormitory room with cheap computers and applied Sergey's ''Data Mining'' system to build a search engine that surpassed all. The engine soon became popular among his schoolmates and soon, they stopped their P.h.D studies to continue the research on Google in a rented garage. Continuing the talk about Sergey and his life, he married a woman with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology with the name of Anne Wojcicki. With the interest in human health, he and his wife did research about humans and health. In 2008 his mother became diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, the disease is usually not genetic but he shared a gene with his mother that increases the chance of contracting it to 20%-80%. On a happier note, he and his wife created 23andMe, it's named 23andMe because of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the normal human cell. 23andMe is a privately held genomics and biotechnology company that provides rapid genetic testing and compare their genetic makeup. That is my biography for Sergey Brin and next is my biography for Larry Page. Stay Tuned!
