Sergey Brin To Give Commencement Address at the University of Maryland
Google's co-founder, Sergey Brin, will give the commencement address at the University of Maryland in College Park today. The Baltimore Sun article discusses Brin's relationship with the university. The article quotes his father, Professor Michael Brin in a couple of places.

From the article, "But there are challenges looming for [Sergey] Brin, several of which were outlined in a critical cover story in this month's Fortune. Giants including Microsoft, America Online and Amazon are developing competing search engines, and there are reports of rifts within the company. "It's not all pinky," Michael Brin observed." Thanks to P.W. for the link.
