With Valentine’s Day looming, students looking for a date can turn to OkCupid, the brainchild of three math-savvy alums. Christopher R. Coyne ’99, Sam A. Yagan ’99, and Maxwell N. Krohn ’99, three dorm-mates from Straus Hall, have lead numerous online ventures in the decade since their graduation.

Vinyl records, especially the full-length LPs that helped define the golden era of rock in the 1960s and '70s, are suddenly cool again. Some of the new fans are baby boomers nostalgic for their youth. But to the surprise and delight of music executives, increasing numbers of the iPod generation are also purchasing turntables (or dusting off Dad's), buying long-playing vinyl records and giving them a spin...
