Dispatch from the Valley: Super Bowl City

Plus, political debates on Facebook.

Welcome to what I hope will be a new weekly feature: dispatches from the weird world of business and tech here in the Bay Area. This week, I paid a visit to Super Bowl City, the place where branding, extreme love of football, and high tech collide (with extremely terrifying security). And some thoughts on what happens when political debate plays out in your safe space: Facebook. Plus, a book recommendation!

Enjoy some shots of the city, get ready for the big game, and I’ll see you next week.

Pretending to be a quarterback in virtual reality. I crushed it.
