The most dramatic shift of 2008 was economic: The burst of the U.S. housing bubble and widespread failures in finan- cial regulation swept economies around the globe into crisis. Beyond the worlds of politics and financial markets, a subtler but no less radical shift was tak- ing place. In time, it would touch one billion people across the plan- et. It’s epicenter was the Silicon Valley. YouTube made the video star On a Wednesday evening, Stan- ford music program graduate Jack Conte (class of ‘06) is giv- ing a talk in the studio beneath Bing Concert Hall on campus. A small group has gathered to listen as Conte discusses his lat- est creative projects, including his band, Pomplamoose, formed with fellow Stanford grad Nataly Dawn in 2008 (the duo has a gig on campus Nov. 1). Dressed in a close-fitted tee and a trucker hat, with a boyish face and a lean frame, Conte looks closer to 20 than 30, though a bushy beard Jeffrey Marini lends him a certain hipster gravi- tas.
