Sunny and 78 for a Monday. Tonight's anchor is a free DreamWorks advance screening at SJSU at 7, with registration already open. The rest of the day leans practical and free, from morning shredding in Cupertino to three no-registration library sessions that start at 4.

Today's field guide

Donuts and an open AI lab, BBQ and tech help, then hummus and the library trustees in Mountain View

Stan's acclaimed donuts in Santa Clara, then the AI Center's open lab at King Library at 9, where you can try new tools and poke at tech projects alongside SJSU students and staff. Midday is Smoking Pig's slow-smoked ribs and brisket and a 1 PM one-on-one tech session at Joyce Ellington for the printer, email, or e-book problem you keep putting off. Evening lands in Mountain View with Oren's housemade hummus and the library trustees' monthly meeting at 7, a direct look at how branch policy and community needs actually get discussed.

Around town

VTA has a new design for the Highway 17/9 interchange in Los Gatos, someone wants lively San Jose spots to work on music and animation, another asks how the city treats autistic residents on the day Stanford hosts its Neurodiversity Summit, and fans recap E-40 and Ice-T at Music in the Park.
