seems non-encyclopedic and possibly a copy-vio copy from somewhere. I have removed it to here for further consideration. The rest of the article still needs some cleanup, but I have made a start. --Bduke 06:24, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

An anon editor changed the quote above (which is no longer in the article) to:-

"Mark lives with his wife Nancy. He has two kids, Stacy and Daniel. Stacy is the Founder and Executive Director of Open Books, Chicago's first nonprofit literacy bookstore. Daniel is the VP of Sittercity and the coauthor, with Mark, of two books on nanotechnology."

Perhaps s/he was trying to say that such a cut-back version could be reinstated in the article. I do not know. I am no fan of adding stuff about people's family. They have to be notable in their own right.
