Freeway Collapse
Ugh! The freeway collapse was about 1.3 miles from my house, and unfortunately between me and Sunnyvale... That means I'm liable to have some "interesting" commutes for the next few months. Fortunately, Brickhouse is open for business!
I could have just been my paranoia but the neighborhood already seemed congested today... I heard one TV announcer suggest that commuters trying to get to 880 from San Francisco could head north and exit at Ashby. This basically turns my neighborhood (Ashby, San Pablo, Hollis, etc.) into the detour.
There have been choppers overhead all day... I am surprised we didn't hear or smell anything last night/this morning.

And... thank god no one got hurt.
Take BART & Caltrain to work? BART is free tomorrow (Monday). Or take 880 South and take the San Mateo bridge or Dumbarton.

Hey, Bradley. You *can* do this by public transit, and I've done it (customer meeting). Let's see: BART to Caltrain, Caltrain to Menlo PARK, VTA to the stop just near Yahoo!.
OK, it does take about 2 1/2 hours, but most of the time I'm working. Use your phone as a bluetooth modem and you're good to go! :)
Ah... yes, you're right. Another way is Amtrak Capitol Corridor from Emeryville (short walk from my house) to Santa Clara (to the shuttle that Yahoo operates...) And... we have a WiFi enabled shuttle from Berkeley! So plenty of options!
