Silicon Valley Birthplace Marker

The early days of
Silicon Valley seem like a dream now. That was a time when the late
Steve Jobs,
Larry Ellison,
Andy Grove, and other tech royalty were not Valley blue bloods. In fact, Silicon Valley hardly had the aura it commands today. Some useful histories of that period are available. A recent contribution to that collection comes from self-styled Valley historian
John McLaughlin. He's put together a five-part video series that includes interviews with tech A-listers, such as Jobs (in a blue work shirt and full beard) and
Meg Whitman.
I haven't seen the series, but it's tempting to want to pay to see the content. Journalist
Mike Cassidy wrote
a fun story in today's Mercury News about the video series. Check it out: The article includes video samples from McLaughlin's work.
