"Every time you add a word to a web page, you take something away."

*Fanboy Warning*
So, if you take the most prominent 37signals and line them up against the Beatles, I get…
Jason == Paul
David == John
Jamis == George
Sam == Ringo
Marcel == Billy Preston
Matt == Linda
But I can’t seen to fit Ryan in anywhere — George Martin, perhaps? Any suggestions?

If I remember correctly, there was a Martin Schoeller portrait of Al Gore on the cover of Newsweek or Time or something recently. I remember trying to figure out what the two strange shapes were in his eyes.

Sam == Ringo
