Aaronsw makes Wired...
You know the youth is on track when we've got peeps like Aaron in the mix.
UPDATE: Holy shit! Cal turned Aaron Swartz down? What the hell does it take? Maybe we only let stupid people in... I feel ashamed.
WHO: Aaron Swartz, an 18-year-old computer whiz who in 2000 helped develop the popular Web-content distribution software RSS.
[...]
WHEN HE GROWS UP: Now that Swartz has been palling around with Lessig, he's liking law. "Four years ago I probably would have said I'd be some kind of startup guy," says Swartz, now entering his freshman year, **"but the law seems really interesting to me. It's a system of rules, like computers are and you can hack it by finding the implications of those rules. Go to a judge, show your hack, and the judge has the power to change the world based on your conclusions."
**GO CARDINAL: A native of Highland Park, Illinois, Swartz has long had his eye on the San Francisco Bay Area. He applied to only Stanford and UC Berkeley. Cal turned him down. Maybe the recommendation letter from Lessig greased the wheels in Palo Alto.
UPDATE: Aaron gets a whole 2/3 of a page...
