RAFALIN: Danny Sanderson, an Israeli singer, who conducted a concert here in Palo Alto. I came to the U.S. 14 years ago, and it’s always great to listen to the music I grew up with.
TALKIN CLOUD's SPIN: Sanderson’s career started in 1963, and he’s still playing for audiences today.
RAFALIN: I went with my kids to see Despicable Me 2. I saw it more as a way to spend time with my kids, but I actually laughed quite a bit.
TALKIN CLOUD's SPIN: It seems like children’s films are made with adults in mind, not children.
RAFALIN: With my wife at our favorite restaurant — Flea St. Cafe.
TALKIN CLOUD's SPIN: Planning to dine in Silicon Valley? Take a look at the menu and decide if it’s a place for you.
RAFALIN: I don’t watch much TV, so this may sound outdated, but there is nothing that compares to The Sopranos. I have been watching it again. Why? There is some of Tony Soprano in every one of us.
TALKIN CLOUD's SPIN: Do you have baby ducks in your inground pool, too?
RAFALIN: “Steve Jobs” by Walter Isaacson. Fascinating, must read for any entrepreneur. If you live in Silicon Valley, you identify and relate much more to the scenes, locations and atmosphere of the book.
TALKIN CLOUD's SPIN: Don’t feel like reading the book? Netflix is now streaming Jobs.
RAFALIN: iPad Air. I had to upgrade my iPad 2 to the latest and greatest. The excuse used: I need to demo our product.
TALKIN CLOUD's SPIN: Touché.
RAFALIN: Salesforce.com. It’s part of the CEO’s life.
TALKIN CLOUD's SPIN: Looking to work in Saleforce’s marketing department after your time at WatchDox?
RAFALIN: I’m a margarita person.
TALKIN CLOUD's SPIN: The margarita seems to be the cocktail of choice among tech CEOs — but that’s just an observation.
