But then, there’s a lot more to California – a state which has been racking up the weirdness since even before it became a state, all the way back in 1850. While we know it now as the Golden State, California was originally known as the Grizzly Bear State, and the grizzly can still be seen on the state’s official flag. Monarch lived out the rest of his days in captivity, and is now a taxidermy exhibit at the California Academy of Sciences.

In a recent conversation with a fellow CTO, we lamented about the fact that while there's very active software development and web development going on in Southern California and West Los Angeles, yet there didn't seem to be as much of a community around it. But where do the software development companies in Southern California congregate? Even still, this barely touches all the different companies in Southern California where software development is happening.

This is purely anecdotal, but it seems like a lot of companies are hiring technology talent here in Southern California. I’ve recently seen several tweets from software development companies looking for talent. And I’ve heard from several people looking for Startup Software Developers. And we have been looking to hire several positions (but are being really picky as is normally the case). I’ll be curious to see if that bears up at our Los Angeles CTO Forum meeting tomorrow.

I liked the phrase social entrepreneurship instantly when I first heard it. It’s doing well by doing good, I assumed, building businesses that help people. A business doesn’t have to not make a profit to do good, so the idea of social entrepreneurship makes sense. Never Do a Contract When a Letter Will Do.

For six and a half years I served as a public official on the California Coastal Commission. The California coast is a panorama of open farm fields and hundreds of miles of undeveloped land. The Coastal Act saved California from looking like the coast of New Jersey. That’s why developers on the California coast love farming.

Most of my 25 year career has been in California; about half of those in Silicon Valley. The term Silicon Valley is now a misnomer – it has moved way beyond silicon and way beyond the original Santa Clara valley to spread all over California.
