AlwaysOn: Bracewell's Observatory

One of the cool things about Silicon Valley is that so many things are invented here, within a 20 mile radius of Palo Alto. But one of the downsides is that you can’t see anything. There’s nothing really historic to latch onto.

Washington D.C. has buildings and monuments, Manhattan has dead spots in the New York Stock Exchange and Alexander Hamilton’s grave. Boston has Faneuil Hall and the Freedom Trail. Even in Milwaukee, you can get a tour of the Miller Brewery.

What do we got? Nothin’.

Washington Post Chat Transcript

A Transcript from a live chat on washingtonpost.com from Friday, October 7, 2005

Andy Kessler: Welcome. Andy Kessler here. I am happy to take questions on any topic: Wall Street, hedge funds, book publishing, technology, telecom, whatever. I’ve played around with lots of this stuff and have an opinion or two to pass along. Don’t ask me stock tips, my series 7 test is long expired. There are TV shows that give stock tips. Anyway, thanks for chatting and fire away.

McLean, Va.: Hi, Andy, I’ve read at least one of your books and many of your op-eds. Question: in your opinion what organizations are most effectively pursuing shareholder rights and corporate governance reform initiatives? Thank you. Joe
