Both Rich and I love the eastern hills of San Jose. Yesterday, he showed me a childhood house that he lived in, located right along the foot of one of the hills. While living there, he could peer out of his upstairs bedroom window and view the green-brown hills.
The founder of MacIntosh, Steve Jobs, once visited one of Rich's neighbors and told him about a great idea he had. He asked the neighbor if he wanted to go in on him--invest some money in this new business, but the neighbor backed out explaining that he was "fully committed."
This is one of the reasons I love living here in Silicon Valley. It's teaming with brilliant minds and forward thinking individuals and I'm hoping some of it can rub off on me.
