Silicon Shores Corporation Company Backgrounder
Silicon Shores Corporation Company Backgrounder Company Overview Headquartered in Mountain View, CA Silicon Shores Corporation is the company overseeing operations of the Shoreline Lake Boathouse and American Bistro at the Shoreline Lake Recreational Area and Wildlife Sanctuary. Silicon Shores manages the facilities through a leasing arrangement with the City of Mountain View, which owns the Shoreline Lake park area. This private company, established in 2000, is incorporated in California. Christina Ferrari is the owner and President and entered into the relationship with the City in 2000. Given the origins of Shoreline Lake, the City of Mountain View’s transformation of 544 acres of junkyard, hog farm, two substandard dumps, low lying flood plains, and a sewage treatment plant into a nature preserve was quite an undertaking. Partnering with Silicon Shores ensured that the area can provide the services and amenities that the surrounding urban population and visitors would appreciate finding within a nature preserve. Vision & Mission The company’s goal for the Shoreline Lake area is to create an experience unmatched within Silicon Valley for residents and workers of the South Bay, and beyond. The centerpiece of the Park, Shoreline Lake is a man- made, 50-acre, salt water lake filled by waters pumped in from the San Francisco Bay that circulate back out into Permanente Creek. However, a densely populated, heavily-developed area surrounds the Park, which includes many well-known hi-tech firms (e.g., Google headquarters is right next door). Even so, Shoreline Lake, a safe and expansive waterway for many water sports, is also a wildlife sanctuary and home to many rare, migratory birds, such as the burrowing owl.

Silicon Valley's Hi-Tech Heritage: Apple Park Visitor Center And
Silicon Valley’s Hi-Tech Heritage: Apple Park Visitor Center and Three Great Museums Tell the Computer and Technology Story By Lee Foster Author’s Note: This article “Silicon Valley’s Hi-Tech Heritage: Apple Park Visitor Center and Three Great Museums Tell the Computer and Technology Story” is a chapter in my new book/ebook Northern California History Travel Adventures: 35 Suggested Trips. The subject is also covered in my book/ebook Northern California Travel: The Best Options. That book is available in English as a book/ebook and also as an ebook in Chinese. Several of my books on California can be seen on my Amazon Author Page. In Brief In California’s Silicon Valley, you can learn about the computer and technology revolution that is affecting the world today. For instance, the story comes alive at the new Apple Park Visitor Center in Cupertino. In addition you can visit three great museums located, appropriately, in this Northern California epicenter of innovation. These high-tech revolutions have altered the face of San Jose and the Silicon Valley. You find the area, which is 30-50 miles south of San Francisco. It stretches along the western and southern edge of San Francisco Bay. My Osborne Computer, 1980, a copy of which can be seen at the Computer History Museum Originally a bucolic ranching region, San Jose began as a small pueblo and Spanish mission in the 18th century. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the valley developed as one of the most important fruit-growing areas in the United States.

From the Chair OK, here we go—the first Official Progress Report from Worldcon 76 in San Jose! The World Science Fiction Convention is, to me, the World’s Fair of fandom. No other event brings together fans and creators, regardless of genre or medium, under one “big tent” with the face-to-face intimacy of Worldcon. There are lots of big pop culture conventions (quite a few bigger than Worldcon), but none of them feature the “everybody creates this event together” culture that makes Worldcon such a unique international gathering. Just last month at Worldcon 75 in Helsinki, Finland, I had the privilege of announcing our final two Guests of Honor, artist John Picacio and musician Frank Hayes, who join GoHs Spider Robinson, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Pierre and Sandy Pettinger, and our posthumous Ghost and gHost of Honor Edgar Pangborn and Bob Wilkins. We look forward to sharing their talents in person with you next August, and I’m sure they are working on cunning plans with my Program and Exhibits divisions already.

A Place to Call Home: Two Centuries of California Living on Exhibit April 25 to October 6, 2013 Houses Give Us More Than Shelter
Published by the Association of the Los Altos Historical Museum, founded 1978 Spring 2013 A Place to Call Home: Two Centuries of California Living On exhibit April 25 to October 6, 2013 Houses give us more than shelter. They give us a place to belong. Since the arrival of the first Spanish settlers, our homes have evolved in style, size and use, reflecting our changing lifestyles and cultural values. Over time, we’ve developed a unique sense of “California Living,” and changed the way people live in other places. This original new exhibition focuses on house architecture of the past 200 years - and beyond. “Two basic premises underlie the exhibition” states volunteer curator and art historian Jan “We shape our Masters, “that architecture and related aspects of our built-environment reflect our core lifestyle buildings and values, and are influenced by them. And that thereafter, they understanding the past will help us make better choices for the future as participating members shape us” of our local communities--and our world.” —Winston Churchill With images, text and artifacts intended to spark interest in local history as shown through the evolution of the typical single-family home in California, the exhibition includes an overview of changes in architectural styles, forms and functions, materials and use of space indoors and outdoors through our history. The talented volunteer committee has researched many aspects of home life. “We’re exploring sociological questions, like what makes a house a home, Peralta Adobe, San Jose and what makes it change?” Continued on page 3 Museum Wins Silicon Valley Water Conservation Award Shaped by Water Exhibition Recognized for Education Recognizing the primacy of water to the health and economic vitality of our region and to the environment, the Silicon Valley Water Conservation Awards are presented to organizations, agencies, businesses and individuals whose programs and leadership have advanced water conservation in Silicon Valley (San Mateo County, Santa Clara County and Alameda County from Hayward south).

Oral History of George Scalise
Oral History of George Scalise Interviewed by: David Laws Recorded: January 27, 2010 Mountain View, California CHM Reference number: X5680.2010 © 2010 Computer History Museum Oral History of George Scalise David Laws: It’s Wednesday, January 27th, 2010. We are at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California and this afternoon we’re going to interview George Scalise, who is currently President of the Semiconductor Industry Association and has a long and distinguish career in the semiconductor industry. Let’s jump right in. Can you tell us where you were born and a little about your family background? Scalise: Thanks David. I was born in a little steel town in western Pennsylvania, Warren, Pennsylvania, north of Pittsburgh. I guess there were two things that distinguished that area. One was that oil was discovered in t nearby, in Titusville. The Drake well was about 25 or so miles from where we lived In Warren. And therefore, there were a lot of oil fields when I was a young boy. Most of them have now dried up; there’s not much of it left but there’s a little. And then there was the steel fabrication business, which was the main industry in Warren. It wasn’t the processing the steel but the fabrication of tank cars, railroad cars, tank trucks and all of the things that use steel. So, it was a very prosperous area at that stage. And as a result, it was a destination point for a lot of the immigrants coming from Europe. My father came from Italy and originally went to work at Cornell University as a gardener.
