The growth of Facebook
A few months ago I did a small research project on Facebook. I found the growth rate of the Facebook active user community particularly interesting.

Plus a few small articles I don’t have handy. But if anyone is interested I can find them again.
The semester is over
I finished my last final exam yesterday. My first year as an MBA student at the University of Maryland Robert H. Smith School of Business (a mouthful, I know) is over! I would like to thank all the people who made this possible:
- My parents for not filing a missing persons report for all the days I was just too busy.
- My fellow computer scientists at GMU, for not shunning me for choosing business school for grad studies. Also, for putting up with my economics rants during dinner.
- The extended Baseri family, for supporting this crazy computer kid in his strange academic endeavors.
- The fine folks at my last company, KoreLogic, for all their support when I announced it was time for me to go.
- Last but not least, to my oldest friend, for your support in my MBA application process and the stressful days that followed.
Thank you all.
