Weirdstuff Warehouse is closed
Oh wow, I'm sad.<p>I came to the valley (no, the other one, up north) back around 1995. And Weird Stuff was absolutely one of the things that made it "Silicon" valley.<p>Back when I would BBS from Kansas and pore over text files listing BBS's I was green with envy at all the boards in Sunnyvale, Mountain View....<p>Coming out here was everything I had imagined when I walked into Fry's, Weird Stuff, Disk Drive Depot, The Computer Literacy Bookstore, Haltek Electronics....<p>Slowly though the hardware Mecca that was the valley gave way to the internet titans and software as Yahoo, Google, etc. appeared.<p>Fry's started selling T.V.s mainly.<p>The Saturday morning electronics surplus crawl that used to include a half-dozen stops became just HSC....<p>Weird Stuff moved out near the Sunnyvale dump.<p>The pizza dive on Steven's Creek that Woz loved became Pizza and Noodles, then just Falafels.<p>Vivi's is gone.<p>When the Donut Wheel closes shop it will be time for me to move on.
