Sometime in 2001. An important PayPal tradition (also due to yours truly) -- poker nights. I am on the phone trying to convince Nellie that it's really safe alone at home in Palo Alto, at 4am. Clockwise from me: Doug Ihde, (Zen master of C++ and gambler extraordinaire), David Kang (a coder, and a culinary talent), the back of Peter Chu, (coder), James (always ready to bluff against a shown flush on a 3-card straight), and Ken Brownfieldeth. Those are not soft drinks.
