Silicon Valley's weakness

At the risk of being a spoil sport for a rant against wealth and excess the Falcon is ground braking and could be an example of how to use sail power for industrial transport into the next century, when all the oil runs out.

Oh, and Athena isn't really larger than the Maltese Falcon. She's longer, but only because she has a bowsprit. The Maltese Falcon is longer at the waterline, has more beam, and displaces more weight.

Actually, Hoover Tower would be a better yardstick for Sillycon Valley purposes.

@DaveMcClure500Hats: Hey, thanks, Dave -- we put a lot of thought into our graphics, and rarely get as much as a thank you.

You forgot Bill Joy's "eco yacht." The ship that launched a thousand and one cleantech ventures. Of course, it's a mere 190 feet. To misquote Steve Jobs, that's the kind of yacht a dentist drives.
