Hey,
I'm doing a brief paper on Jeff Bezos and can't find his birthdate. Does anyone know it? I can't seem to find a bio page on amazon's site.
Here's some trivia I've picked up so far.
Q. One summer when you were in high school, you worked at a McDonald's in Miami. What did you learn about customer service?
A: I learned that it's really hard. I was a cook. They wouldn't let me anywhere near the customers. This was my acned-teenager stage. They were like, "Hmm, why don't you work in the back?" ( laughing ) One of the great gifts I got from that job is that I can crack eggs with one hand. My favorite shift was Saturday morning. The first thing I would do is get a big bowl and crack 300 eggs into it. One of the things that's really fun about working at McDonald's is to get really fast at all of this stuff. See how many eggs you can crack in a period of time and still not get any shell in them. ( laughing )
First used the Internet in 1985 in an astrophysics class at Princeton University
In October 1994, Jeff Bezos wanted to name his new Web venture "Cadabra" -- as in "abracadabra." But his attorney convinced him that this magical moniker sounder a bit too much like "cadaver." Reluctantly, Bezos went with his second choice: Amazon.com.
