10 Lessons
Aug 30, 2005, by Jude Barry Comments (10)
I’m the proud father of a fourth grader and first grader. Yesterday, I took both of them to school. As they are just beginning their educational journey, I think it appropriate that I share the things I’ve learned about the importance of a good education. It might be helpful to San Jose Inside readers, too.
Living With An Ironwoman

Have you ever thought about doing an Ironman Triathlon? I haven’t. Oh, once, on a bet, I ran a marathon. But that was a bet (which I won incidentally…my time was 4:28:00 in case you were wondering). But I’m talking IRONMAN here. A two and a half mile swim followed by a 112 mile cycling race and then a full blown 26.2 mile marathon for dessert. Ironman is right. Or, Ironwoman in my case.

Capital of Silicon Valley?
Aug 24, 2005, by Tom McEnery Comments (29)
There have been a number of questions since San Jose adopted the title of “Capital of Silicon Valley” in the eighties. Some say we were undeserving or that we just assumed the title. There was truth to both accusations. I like to quote the words of our late and unlamented Senator, S.I. Hayakawa, who, when roused from his slumber during the debate over the return of the Panama Canal, shouted out: “Give it back? Hell, we stole it fair and square!” It was a pithy, accurate comment, analogous to the current situation with WiFi in our city.
A City on the Brink
Aug 23, 2005, by Jude Barry Comments (27)
Here’s the candid situation: if you talk to local business leaders, they will tell you they’re concerned that the scandals will hurt the city’s ability to attract business. Many civic leaders wonder how quickly the city’s once outstanding national reputation for good government will be regained, if at all. Everyone it seems is counting on a new mayor to put the city on the road to recovery.
