San Jose, California has a nice technology museum, and a short commute to many silicon valley companies, but not much else going for it!

You do realize that San Jose is the biggest city in the Silicon Valley and there are tons of well known companies in San Jose.. :)

It goes both ways. Once I was booking trip to San Jose. Flight was surprisingly expensive (but who cares, season variations and such. anyway it's work trip) but what gave me a pause, it's that cars were dirt cheep compared to usual. After poking around, turned out that I was booking trip to San Jose, Costa Rica instead of San Jose, California.

Really puts the Dione Warwick song into a new light.

I've made this "mistake". It was just a layover, so it didn't matter much. But suddenly realizing we were going to Costa Rica and not CA was still fun.
