Just to clarify - for me the San Francisco East Bay Concord area includes Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Alamo, Martinez, Pittsburgh, Antioch, Danville, San Ramon, Dublin, Oakland, Berkeley and the like. Silicon Valley, San Jose, Marin County tend to be too far to make it work well.
Thanks for the feedback. Not the best phrase I guess.
I also agree that good fit in a team is critical and couldn't agree more with your notion of the subconscious coming up with most of the breakthrough ideas. I rely on that heavily using interest, frustration and tinkering as the guideposts, figuring out the right question and then doing something else or nothing at all and letting the big part of the mind do its thing in its own time. Might be the best habit I ever developed.
Thanks. I updated the summary on my profile and included my email and some of the details suggested in other comments as well (didn't realize it was hidden).
