I've never heard of the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association before, but they've recorded some very interesting interviews. I recommend looking through their uploaded videos. There are a lot of gems in there.
I've heard some crazy stories about financial difficulties before, but Atari takes the cake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY8GpCCBWWc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY8GpCCBWWc . Sheriffs standing in the lobby to garnish income. Everyone rushing to the bank to make sure their paychecks didn't bounce. It's totally crazy and I'm amazed they had the determination and luck to survive that time.
- StudyAnimal 16y agoI believe it is the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association.
- AngryParsley 16y agoWhoops. Thanks for correcting me.
- BrainScraps 16y agoThis video picks up where Steve Blank's secret history of Silicon Valley left off: http://steveblank.com/category/secret-history-of-silicon-valley/ http://steveblank.com/category/secret-history-of-silicon-val... I enjoyed Blank's very thorough description of the military / government agency technology that originated in the Valley and this clip helps to tie it very nicely to recent times.
- nikcub 16y agoI just watched his entire presentation, which was better than his blog posts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFSPHfZQpIQ&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFSPHfZQpIQ&feature=relat... absolutely brilliant and a must see. Steve's blog is great, but he also has a good presentation style thick with interesting content.
