One of the all time great things about writing a blog is the mail one gets offline - some genuinely interesting stuff comes our way that we may have missed out on in the comings and goings of a standard day. The Flightdeck Fridays in particular generate more than their fair share of folks sharing interesting tidbits (like Tomy Thomason providing a schematic of a two-seat F-8 or the Skystreak III) or sea/shore stories (thanks again Sid!). So today we opened the ol’ mailbox to find a missive from Steve Blank , via YouTube, of a presentation on the secret history of Silicon Valley.
What, you say you know it already 1? Not so fast grasshopper - check out this presentation, especially the discussion of early EW (Southern Air Pirate should get a kick out of that).

Thx, SJS-
Just excellent! Could only watch the first few minutes here at the workplace.
I will drive past a few of these “things” on my way to home where I will start over with my family.

Incredible…and to think the veil has been over all this stuff all these years. In all the reading I have done, and the vets I have known, not a words of this has ever crossed my path.
