This morning I get into the office and there’s an envelope addressed to me sitting on my desk.
The return address says “Horowitz”, Physics Dept, Cambridge, MA. I don’t k**w a Horowitz, but it looks like a Harvard address, so I’m intrigued.
I open it up.
Inside I find an article from The Astrophysical Journal, published in 1993. The authors are
Paul Horowitz and Carl Sagan.
At the top there’s a handwritten **te, signed
Paul Horowitz. And on the first page there’s a highlight behind “37 candidate events”.
People have often asked us what 37signals means. Our original web site
explained the origin of the name.
And **w, because of the generosity of
Paul Horowitz himself, we have a signed copy of the actual article where the 37
signals were first mentioned. Here’s
a PDF of the article if you’d like to browse the whole thing.
What an unexpected and wonderful surprise, and a**ther great example of
unrelated events coming together to produce something you never expected.
