The Weird Stuff Warehouse is where old tech goes to retire | Ars Technica

Tue, 28 May 2013 22:55:22 +0000

Tucked neatly between Yahoo! headquarters and Lockheed Martin is a row of unmarked warehouses. To the common passerby, it's nothing more than an office park surrounded by perfectly manicured lawns. But to those who are in on the secret, there's a place full of technology treasures waiting to be unearthed. It's called the Weird Stuff Warehouse, and for more than 27 years it's been providing the Bay Area with a surplus of old and new technology. It's not just a Goodwill for antiquated hardware, though—it's also a step back through time. Inside this warehouse, it's an era when RAID controllers were the size of a modern-day sound card and Windows 95 reigned supreme.

Silicon Valley tech executive nabbed in false barcode scheme involving Lego toys - San Jose Mercury News

Tue, 22 May 2012 18:23:18 +0000

But "loss prevention" officers at the Target on Stevens Creek Boulevard in Cupertino had never seen anyone take an interest in bar codes quite like Thomas Langenbach, a top Silicon Valley executive with the global software giant SAP. Prosecutors charged Monday that Langenbach used the tools of his trade -- computer codes and the Internet -- to steal a Santa's workshop worth of Lego toys. They say Langenbach brought his own bar code stickers to the store, used them to cover up the real ones, and then purchased his plastic prey at enormous discounts.

Tiger bread - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 05:18:47 +0000

Huh. I wondered why I'd never heard of it before we lived out there, or seen it since. That's some tasty stuff. "It is sold as "Dutch crunch" in delis throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, but is little known in the United States outside that region."

Things to do and eat in Silicon Valley

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 07:01:37 +0000

Managed to do quite a few of these things while I was out in California. "Summer is the time for family and friends to come and visit, so I took a little while and tried to think about things to do and places to eat."
