South Bay Today
Tuesday, May 26, 2026
Tuesday looks library-heavy on paper, but the evening has two genuinely interesting talks if you want one: Steve Jobs in Exile at the Computer History Museum on the NeXT years, and a Catholic ethics and AI debate at Santa Clara University an hour earlier. Daytime is quieter, with the Jonathan Calm exhibition open at the de Saisset and a free photo-scanning service running at the Mountain View library.
Today's field guide
A west valley wander, Morocco talk to close
Joe's Trail at Cox and de Anza is the morning anchor, with Madras Café dosas in Sunnyvale for lunch and a 7 PM travel night on Morocco at the Cupertino Library to end. The route drifts across a few cities, so treat the breakfast and dinner stops as optional bookends if you want to keep the day tighter.
