Chip making machine at the Tech Museum
Although not as exciting as "El Machino" at the local Chevy's restaurant, this Applied Materials chip making machine has done its share of work for Silicon Valley. Oh wait, El Machino does tortillas.

Natural History Museum in Fremont
Add this to the list of underappreciated museums in the Silicon Valley: the Children's Natural History Museum (Fremont).
It contains: The Gordon Hall, featuring Pleistocene fossils collected in the 1940's by San Leandro schoolteacher Wesley Gordon and his grade school "boy paleontologists". There's a replica of the workshop that Gordon and the boys used. There's also a Hall of Oddities, a nature hall, a minerals and rocks display, and a small planetarium. The museum is managed by the Math Science Nucleus, a non-profit educational and research organization composed of scientists, educators and community members.
On Dec. 13, several of the 'boys', now older gentlemen, will be back attending a fundraising for the museum.
