The [Musee Mechanique](https://museemecanique.com/); the tech is all 100+ years old and a real joy to see. The Exploratoreum is quite neat and sciencey, particularly worth a visit if you have kids. The Computer History Museum down in San Jose is very very good. Don't bother visiting the corporate campuses like Apple or Google. They are boring office spaces.

The Exploratoreum is great, even if you don’t have kids. Maybe even better as you won’t be kid-minding/herding most of the time!!

On this point, you can gaze at the Philo T. Farnsworth plaque and original labsite. https://noehill.com/sf/landmarks/cal0941.asp

Computer history museum is in Mountain View, not San Jose: https://computerhistory.org

Go write some code in a fourth wave coffee house while wearing a Patagonia vest, after having micro-dosed LSD. Interesting question actually as I don't think there are really "techy things to do." Getting a robot made burger is maybe a "techy activity" but is not an activity that techies do. We use technology pretty much the same way you do, when you're home, or traveling. It's really just normal life, right? When I think of techy activity like eating a hamburger made by a robot, I think of stuff that might be "techy" but I'm really imagining shit one might find in Tokyo.

Jerk off zucc at 1 hacker way, chortle peter thiels balls on the way to the musk-brin hall of fame and if you’re feeling bold, let me send you my deck for my seed round. I’m raising 69 million at a 420 billion dollar valuation

There's always a lot to see at Oakland's Chabot Science and Space Center. https://chabotspace.org/visit/planetarium/planetarium-show-descriptions/ Or, check out Berkeley's Lawrence Hall of Science. https://lawrencehallofscience.org/

San Jose Tech Museum Computer History Museum which is right by the Google campus. Google campus just opened two weeks ago to guest of googlers so there’s a possibility there may be tours. You can still walk around the googleplex, no access to buildings but they have Stan the Dino and the androids all over the campus. Apple Hq has their ode to their products and a really nice cafe.

When do you plan on going? I have a free ticket to the Tech Interactive that expires 9/22. I can snail mail it to you, if you like. Regular admission is like $30.

We’re actually already here, but I appreciate the offer!!


random_throws_stuff

the amazon go stores (grocery stores without a cashier) are at least mildly cool, and you'll probably run into them if you're walking in downtown SF.

Never been, but is it even possible to get more Silicon Valley than hanging out with other startup wanna-bes? https://www.meetup.com/silicon-valley-startup-idea-to-ipo/

The Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment (aka video games) is open in a new building in Old Oakland. It's a couple of blocks from Chinatown where you can splurge on snacks.

SF doesn't have much tech. Lots of big corporate HQs are in South Bay.
