The following is a message from Bundle's emergency broadcasting system:

Due to extreme weather conditions, Bundle employees have relocated to (stayed in) undisclosed locations (their houses) to avoid transit-related delays in Bundle service (and getting dressed). When I was a kid growing up in Madison, WI, snow didn't mean anything. My parents brought the car battery in at night, shoveled the driveway in the morning, and took me to school. But this is New York, and it is seriously bad out there. That's our usual view from our midtown Manhattan offices on the left, next to what I'm seeing outside my Brooklyn apartment this morning.

Bundle, however, never quits, which Greg has noted seems to be standard for our hyper-networked workforce. East Coasters, are you going to work today? Or are you, like Moriah, staying in to watch 30 Rock and eat french toast?

Brain-teaser: How much chocolate did it take to build Oprah's all-chocolate set? And how much did that cost? Not everyone's drooling, by the way: "This type of 'Versailles-like opulence' is completely inappropriate," wrote one commenter on Oprah.com. "How is the everyday person (struggling financially) supposed to relate to this?" Jimmy Kimmel just suggested that "This is what happens when Oprah gets high."

Karen, did you make it to San Francisco? Kristen, Logan and Presh offered one of Bundle's newer team members tips for her first trip to the Bay Area; I hope she didn't get stuck at the airport last night. Meanwhile, Presh is using Bundle data (and your suggestions) to plan his upcoming trip to St. Paul.

Happy Friday, everyone. And stay tuned: the Week in Your Wallet is up next.
