About this blog: I write about technology companies, trends and events in and around Mountain View. Where else can you find startups nurtured by
Y-Combinator and
500 Startups working alongside multi-billion corporations like
Google,
Symantec and
Intuit? I like to write about software and systems that are changing lifestyles. Innovations like self-driving cars, on-demand limousine services and electric bikes are revolutionizing transportation. Smartphones help people find their way, manage their health and make new friends. In my articles, I like to include something for Mountain View residents, something for industry professionals and something for venture investors. I'm particularly interested in mobile apps and cloud computing. I came to California to find software applications for AT&T. I've worked in startups, advised venture capitalists and analyzed enterprise software markets. After getting a PhD at the University of London in engineering, I joined Bell Laboratories, analyzing over 400 telephone company systems. I also have an MMath degree in optimization from the University of Waterloo in Canada, and an MA in mathematics from the University of Cambridge. My husband John Mashey, is a computer scientist and trustee of the Computer History Museum. He also defends climate scientists by blogging.

Google Squared makes tables of information. Check it out at
http://www.google.com/squared/.
I made a table of local software companies by entering "Software Companies Mountain View" into Google Squared, the latest offering from Google Labs. Whereas it couldn't find me investors in private companies, or reliable income and revenues in public companies it did a pretty good job.
Try entering terms like "Restaurants Mountain View". Don't put the quotes in the Google Search box. Some of the results work, others don't - but it looks like it will be very useful for analysts, finding sales leads, homework assignments and more.
