Digest #242
  
We started celebrating our 5th Anniversary a bit early at the June Santa Cruz New Tech Meetup, but now that it's mid-July, we really have passed the five year mark.

In those five years, we've published 1711 news articles in 242 weekly digests. Whew. Our website has become a library of regional tech history. What was going on in 2013? 2014? 2015? Visit our archive of past news articles and past weekly digests.


Thanks for all of your support over the years! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
