Silicon Valley 100

Silicon Valley 100 02/01/2005 09:19 PM

Silicon Valley 100 is a project by Auren Hoffman. I was lucky enough to make it on the list. The idea is to make a list of "connectors" and send them new gadgets and products to test. Newsweek just did a story about this. I think it is almost like an opt-in focus group. The obvious criticism would be these companies are trying to buy "buzz". The difference between this and some buzz creation companies is 1) it's not stealth 2) they don't tell you what to say. I checked with Auren and he says that we can write whatever we want about the products. When I get a product from Silicon Valley 100, I will state this clearly in any blog post that refers to it and will say what I think. I realize that the fact that we probably get to keep most of the products makes it a bit like bribery, but if it's crap, I'm sure most people will throw it away. I would be most interested in products that are still not on the market where our feedback could be incorporated in the product design. Then our feedback could be more constructive...

Anyway, I'd be curious on people's thoughts.

The first product is a brondell high-tech toilet seat. I told Auren, that this is one product that Japan is a world leader in. I blogged this before, but we have over 50% household penetration. The one in my house and in my office even has anti-stinky gas-gate like air filtration.

UPDATE: Just uploaded a 5 min 4.3 MB conversation with Auren Hoffman, the founder of the Silicon Valley 100.

UPDATE 2: Uploaded it to archive.org too. Maybe I should put my media files there instead since archive org does the file conversions for me too...

Onshoring To Silicon Valley

Onshoring To Silicon Valley 02/16/2004 11:57 AM
Thanks to everyone (and there were a lot of you) for submitting this story from the San Jose Mercury News talking about fore ign companies "onshoring" jobs - basically, opening up an office and hiring people in Silicon Valley, because of the various benefits of the location: lots of smart people, lots of other companies for partnering and selling, and easy access to venture capital. While the numbers are small compared to offshoring, it brings up the point we've been saying for a while. Despite the naysayers, there are jobs where a physical presence in a certain location makes a lot of sense.

The fading light of Silicon Valley

The fading light of Silicon Valley 03/28/2005 03:23 AM

If Steve Lohr is right and Silicon Valley's brightest days are behind it, it will have been their own fault. Technology isn't stagnant, we're going through a rebirth, the deals being being floated are incredibly rich, for the right people this time, and not in Silicon Valley. Not for the carpetbaggers, not for the imitation impressarios, rather for the technology that's making the difference and the people behind it.

Last week I wrote about insiders and two -tier communities. That's Silicon Valley. The hubris of financiers thinking they could do it by paying nothing for technology, nothingj for ideas. Yeah Hollywood is corrupt, and they want to tie up tech to serve their purposes, but they are still turning out product that some people want. Can you say the same for Silicon Valley? Imho, it's become another gray metropolis, the ideas long gone, replaced by corporate strokers and lap dogs.

It's still the most welcoming of climates, a temperate haven, warm in the winter, cool in the summer. The garden you can grow in a SV back yard is one of the most diverse and nourishing anywhere in the nation, that's why Valley real estate is holding its value. Its got great schools, roads, shopping, even culture. What it's missing are a heart and a purpose.

Dublin as Wireless Silicon Valley

Dublin as Wireless Silicon Valley 12/19/2004 03:18 PM
I'm definitely feeling that my impending move to Dublin will put me in the right place at the right time: Government and corporate leaders in Dublin are hoping to establish Dublin as a center for the wireless industry where companies form a community that develops and furthers wireless technology. Some big companies that already have offices in Dublin or Ireland are backing the idea, including Intel, Lucent, O2, Esat BT and Bell Labs Ireland. It's hard to know if this initiative is merely wishful thinking on the part of city leaders hoping to spur an increase in business, but there's no doubt that there's still a lot of high-tech work being done in Dublin as well as some cutting edge wireless development. A bit of a boost from the government and some marketing could just spur it along even further....
