Fleming noted the fact that while San Diego has emerged over the last thirty years as one of the nation’s top technology hubs, its unique trajectory of development had not been analyzed, let alone documented. Furthermore, the unique stories of those entrepreneurs, employees, advocates, and researchers had not been preserved.Tue, 14 Jan 2014 01:00:00 -0800http://libraries.ucsd.edunews/releases/2014/sd-tech-archive.htmlHungry for Rasberry Pi?
