BART not running in the tube -- BIG fire in West Oakland. I'm stranded at home, at least temporarily.

With that and a bigwig conference up in Napa, our office is about 25% full right now.

I'll be at a conference in SF Thurs/Fri/Sat -- so no 10@10s, Facebook, message board, Casey Kasem... nuthin' during daytime hours.  Hope I don't miss anything interesting, tho' I can always catch up on the various PM replays. Have fun and take notes!
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

I'll try to carry the mantle on Friday. Can't do anything Thursday though  :-[

The "Ultimate Music Database" website (where you can look up any Billboard or UK chart ever published) has been blocked by my employer, which classifies it as... an "on-line gambling" site.  WTFF?  (they block the Calif Lottery results too but that at least makes sense.)

Are you sure Kaiser isn't a front for the Republican party or something? These are strange and paranoid times we're living in.

Awesome website, by the way. I used it back in the day when Annalisa solicited requests. Still look at it as I'm compiling my own Top 100 database at home.

Meanwhile, another Chart site has bitten the dust:

I heard that on Gory's thing. Very tempting but getting home (in Marin) from the Haight afterward would be challenging. Wish it was on a Saturday afternoon.

So I am walking from the BART station to the office this morning and pass an impromptu street vendor selling Niner hats and scarves and I'm inspired to a new song based on a classic CSN&Y song.  Mine will be called "Almost Bought Some Niner Crap" and will chronicle my attempts to climb on the niner bandwagon or at least root for the wheels to stay on the damned thing so that all my niner fan friends can be happy.  But it's hard, and it's not going well.

I will be glad when it's over.

Go Niners.  Really.  I mean it, man!
