Looking forward to the new season of Silicon Valley tonight. Astro Teller runs Google X, their moonshot factory, the clear inspiration for www.hooli.xyz with Project Loon in the hangar and the autonomous cars. So, I cracked up being Astro in his SV swag at the Flux board meeting at DFJ (Flux is the first Google X spinout).

Google has already embedded a shout out to Hooli in their code.

  2. P.S. Here are some detail shots of Loon: Inside Google’s Project Loon — giving every cell phone direct access to the Internetand they really are building them in the huge wooden zeppelin hangar at NASA Ames: What’s That? (85) And here are all of my Astro Teller photos
