Greeting Cards for Geeks: Announcing “Only in Silicon Valley”

2 min read

I have lived and worked in Silicon Valley for more than 20 years, and it’s a truly unique place, but it’s a bit underserved when it comes to cheesy, touristy design fun. New York, San Francisco and other cities have been getting way too much love—until now! Introducing a greeting-card collection for geeks named “Only in Silicon Valley.”

The cards are a collection of my personal experiences, cultural nuggets and some urban legends. I finally decided to make these after the must-read article series by Sunil Rajaraman, “This Is Your Life in Silicon Valley,” appeared in The Bold Italic.

If you have more ideas for these cards, don’t be shy, and drop me a line!

Get these while they’re hot, and mail them to people you like (or don’t like). They’re available for purchase here (proudly made in San Jose by the fabulous people at Zazzle).

The Bold Italic is a not-for-profit media organization, and we publish first-person perspectives about San Francisco and the Bay Area. We operate under a fiscal sponsorship of a 501(c)(3).
