[Recorded: November 20, 2008] Today, Silicon Valley is known around the world as a fount of technology innovation and development fueled by private venture capital and peopled by fabled entrepreneurs. But it wasn't always so. Unbeknownst to even seasoned inhabitants, today's Silicon Valley had its start in government secrecy and wartime urgency. In this lecture, renowned serial entrepreneur Steve Blank presents how the roots of Silicon Valley sprang not from the later development of the silicon semiconductor but instead from the earlier technology duel over the skies of Germany and secret efforts around (and over) the Soviet Union. World War II, the Cold War and one Stanford professor set the stage for the creation and explosive growth of entrepreneurship in Silicon Valley. The world was forever changed when the Defense Department, CIA and the National Security Agency acted like today's venture capitalists funding this first wave of entrepreneurship. Steve Blank shows how these groundbreaking early advances lead up to the high-octane, venture capital fueled Silicon Valley we know today.

Gameplay video of Space Station: Silicon Valley for Nintendo 64 (N64). The Penguin Playpen level (level 13) is shown. The animals in this level are the penguin, cool cod, walrus, polar bear on treads, ski-husky, and seagull. Space Station: Silicon Valley is a unique 3D platformer in which you can take control of 40+ robotic animals, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Many levels involve some puzzle-solving, and the game is quite challenging. Unfortunately, this game is not currently available on the Wii Virtual Console. Hopefully it will be added to the line-up in the future, as it is an enjoyable game. It was developed by DMA Design and published by Take 2 Interactive.
