A new understanding of Silicon Valley - I took a private tour of Silicon Valley with Kirill Sobolev, CEO of ATasteofSF. Kirill is an intellectual, a great communicator, and highly knowledgeable on the history, social changes, technologies and synergies that make up Silicon Valley. I learned a lot, and took away a deep appreciation for the sheer brilliance of American ingenuity and innovation.
