@Grilled - Loving the Erlich Bachman favicon btw...

Thanks for the feedback @Miguel Ferreira

...Seems like an Hawaiian luau in Alcatraz all over again (I'm sure you'll get the reference :P)

Oh, I get the reference! See below, or




PS: How many Easter Eggs can you find in this thread?​

And I thought no one was seeing this... What a show it is

It got me with as soon as they announced the "Miss Palo Alto" in the first couple of episodes...

I haven't picked up on the easter eggs (didn't even knew they existed about this show) but I'll tell you in on a little secret: PiedPiper (.com) was available when I first discovered the show... :P

Well, I don't know of many Silicon Valley easter eggs, though, I added some easter eggs in this thread via hidden links...

Dude, thanks for sharing!

Did you know: Erlich Bachman found Aviato on Namerific?

[Chris Hydrick]

Main Company: PiedPiper (.com) (Two word.com)
​

​

The VC: Raviga (.com) (CVCVCV.com)

​

The Competition: Hooli (.xyz) (CVVCV.xyz)​

​

I'll tell you in on a little secret: PiedPiper (.com) was available when I first discovered the show... :P

After seeing it was available, did you register it?

 

[Miguel Ferreira]

After seeing it was available, did you register it?

Look what I've just found about Aviato - https://www.quora.com/Silicon-Valley-TV-series-What-is-the-story-behind-Aviato

LOOOL, how cool!

About the registration: "sadly" it isn't mine... I haven't registered it at the time because I was afraid of any kind of copyright infringement or a cease and desist case against me... Not really sure how realistic it is to think that it would have happened but I chose not to go for it...

DUDE! Thanks for sharing! I still need to watch last nights episode ☮

I'm considering channeling my inner Erlich > reaching out to the astute members of the internet > collaborating with like minded individuals > and having a house full of domainers and other contributing intellectuals.

Glad you liked it

You should do that, but be careful about your assets and the type of business partnership you'll setup... As explained to Erlich and Big Head, a partnership (like they've set it up=) is like marriage... Choose wisely my friend ahahah

but I'll tell you in on a little secret: PiedPiper (.com) was available when I first discovered the show... :P

PiedPiper.com was registered in 1996. Must have been a glitch with the registrar.

A funny recap of season 3 (minus the finale)

 

[venturefile.com]

An awesome season again!

 

[Miguel Ferreira]

Can't wait for it to start again... Some people on Quora are actually referring to it as kind of truthful (though really over the top obviously) about the whole Silicon Valey hype which is both Funny and Terrifying to think some companies are just getting funding to do nothing with it.... (Sorry Theranos)

Aloha

Any Domainers out there have a spare bed room for rent preferably in the bay area

If so, send me a PM I'd like to live / work with other full time domainers. I'm currently backpacking in the NW Washington area, but am having back issues, and need to call this summer journey short and get back to work. Silicon valley is preferred, though, I am open to anywhere if the conditions are right.

 

[Chris Hydrick]

Update: I'm in Silicon Valley and looking to call some place besides the Marriott home.
