Last Night I Experienced Silicon Valley

Thanks for sharing, I think the take away is that the SF Bay area manages to maintain a entrepreneur density that is high enough for these sorts of things to happen. Its important to remember that its a momentum thing, I believe that once you get past a certain tipping point there will be a bubbly pool of entrepreneurs, but there are things that can poison that reaction as well; things like non-compete agreements, tight/non-existent capital, and too much secrecy.

"If you are an entrepreneur outside of Silicon Valley and don’t visit the Bay Area on a regular basis, you are way behind."

Come on. There are successful entrepreneurs based all over the world. The Valley is not a requirement.

This is actually almost exactly PG's reasoning on why Silicon Valley will always beat NY in his YCNYC speech. Including the random walk by of ron conway.

a very very interesting tagline. out of honest curiosity it occurred to me that tagline of this blog can mean many things: tagline: me = entrepreneur + hacker also implies me - entrepreneur = hacker me - hacker = entrepreneur do you agree that all three meaning are consistent to your context?

cliffs: Silicon Valley is great because there are a lot of tech entrepreneurs to get advice from and share with.
