One of the most prominent ponytails in Silicon Valley belongs to Sun MicrosystemsÂ’ President, Jonathan Schwartz. Um, better make that belonged.
I use the past tense because Schwartz’s flowing brown locks are no more. “I took my 2 year old to get his hair cut this past weekend. He wasn't particularly happy about the ordeal, and the only thing that seemed to calm him down was my sitting in the haircutter's chair with him on my lap,” Schwartz recounted on his web log.
“Midway through his haircut, the pleasant but frenzied woman cutting his hair asked if I'd like mine cut. Foolishly, thinking "how convenient!" I consented. I now face a minimum of 60 awkward hair days, and the tradeoff wasn't a good one. Live and learn. “
I wonder. Could Ted Waitt be far behind?
