Silicon Valley Economy
a: Silicon valley economy ~
b: A Mavericks Wave
What: Both come in sets, big sets. Both are known far and wide for their power. People flock from around the world to get in on the action. Both can brutally crash down on those who are not prepared for the ride. The trick is to know which wave to catch, how long to ride it and most importantly, knowing when to bail out so you don't get smashed on the rocks. So watch out, you don't want to be high tech equivalent of Mark Foo.

It's The New Golf
a: In silicon valley bicycling ~
b: golf
What: There was an article in the Mercery New, the local San Jose paper, about the popularity of cycling in this area. Many people do it; they do it in large groups and in small groups and some ride by themselves. Its a sporting/social activity that many can participate in depending on their desire and level of fitness. It's also a way to hang out in a environment were people can enjoy themselves outdoors with people they generally like and if the timing is right review potential business opportunities or build ones network. This is somewhat like the way gold was and still is, but not as many people play golf as cycle, at least in this area.
