All of my friends and followers know I absolutely LOVE BART and I am deeply sadden that they couldn’t avoid a strike. I have appeared on air supporting BART riders with the Chairman of the board, I actually have an instagram game where bay area riders can spot me and be featured on my account. This is a sad day for #ThatTechGirl and Bart. I have gathered a few things together and here ya go!
Below you will find a basic survival guide for life in Silicon Valley until they come to their senses.
FIRST CALL TO ACTION: Follow @SFBART on Twitter and set them to direct message you and alert you with updates.
Transit officials are urging anyone who can to telecommute, ride a bike, or shift work schedules to of communte
BART is offering limited free shuttle servicefrom the El Cerrito del Norte, Walnut Creek, Dublin/Pleasanton and Fremont stations to San Francisco’s Transbay Terminal from 5 to 9 a.m., and back from 3 to 7 p.m. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and only about 2,000 to 4,000 people would be able to make it on each day, according to BART’s strike information page
AC Transit: Bus Service Between East Bay And San Francisco
Golden Gate Transit:Accessing San Francisco from the East Bay via Marin County.The Golden Gate Bridge District has said that North Bay ferries are already operating at capacity, and that they should not be used as a BART alternative for people traveling from the East Bay to San Francisco and vice versa. Instead, officials urge anyone taking transportation through Marin county to consider bus service due to already heavy traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge. For more information on bus routes, visitthe Golden Gate Transit information page regarding the strike.
Caltrain and SamTrans: Peninsula Alternatives To BART
Officials are warning riders to expect delays on Caltrain due to a jump in ridership and say equipment and personnel constraints will likely prevent much in the way of additional service. SamTrans plans to offer temporary shuttle service in several locations around regular BART stops.
SF Muni: San Francisco bus and light rail service
The Municipal Transit Agency is referring riders to 511.org for complete information, but has indicated that routes along the BART corridor will be prioritized during a stoppage, including the 14 Mission, 49 Van Ness, J-Church and N-Judah lines. The system will also deploy fare inspectors to help regular BART commuters find their way via Muni.
San Francisco Bay Ferry: San Francisco Bay Ferries are expected to add additional boats, potentially doubling capacity, servicing Oakland, San Francisco, Alameda, Alameda Harbor Bay and Vallejo. More information is available on the system’s website. The City of Alameda says service will be offered directly from Alameda to San Francisco, without stopping in Oakland. Main Street departures will take place every 45 minuets, while Harbor Bay boats will leave every 30 minutes.
The Santa Clara Valley Transportation authority has not released a contingency plan on their website

A message to everyone who is not with their family or cant be with their family or simply those who do not have any family.
It is nice to have loved ones,you experience a love like no other,it is the only purpose of life.
But don’t forget that Family is not defined by blood. Many times you will find that your blood family can hurt you more than any stranger on the street. Family is defined by commitment, loyalty, and love. A man and wife are not blood but they are family. A dog and the owner are not blood but they are family.
Having family is the most important accomplishment you can achieve.
But not having any family does not mean you are lonely. Loneliness is a state of mind.
You may be alone but that does not mean you have to be lonely.Reach beyond your comfort zone and grab on to love, peace, forgiveness,and realize scientifically that we are all one!
We are all family!
Enjoy your Easter Sunday!
This post is not about a start up, coding, funding or disruption …..its actually about makeup!
I recently posted a picture of me attempting to do my own eye make up and was flooded with comments about my skin, so I thought I would post my response for everyone to see.
Makeup is fun, key, and a must for most girls….but not That Tech Girl!
Make up to me is simple and meant to highlight your beauty, not cover it up. I have done a 5 minute makeup routine for years! However I have realized that I should be prepared in the event I have to do my own make up for film and television so I have started studying on YouTube. I have been blown away with all of the talent sharing tips.
Film make up is completely different from day to day make up. I find many people don’t know the difference or perhaps they just don’t care. For a regular day- to- day- there- are- no- red- carpets- or- cameras- following- me look, LESS is always best! For a camera ready look you will always want to go outside of your comfort zone and PACK IT ON!
I know I know make up and Tech don’t really seem to fit but guess what…THEY go hand and hand.
Makeup is a form a technology, it is a tool used to get you from where you currently are to where you want to be. It is a tool used as real life social media. It says a lot about you whether you like it or not.
So to get to the point and answer the question proposed to me by a number of people…..
HOW DOES YOUR MAKE UP LAY SO EFFORTLESSLY AND WHY IS YOUR SKIN SO CLEAR???….
SKIN CARE IS SUN PREVENTION:
I wear SPF 70 or higher EVERYDAY
On cloudy or rainy days I drop down to SPF 30
I do not consume more than 30 minutes of direct sunlight per day
I do not sleep in make up…DO NOT DO IT
I do not drink alcohol
I do not smoke or hang around smokers…I avoid 1, 2, 3rd hand smoke whenever possible
I do not have direct contact with the sun longer than 5-10 min at a time.
I ALWAYS use an umbrella /parasol/EXTRA large brim hat if I must be out in the sun (I shop coolibar.com
There you go that is the secret!
I would love to here your skin care tips!
That Tech Girl, is Liberty Madison, a technology TV host & producer, lecture and contributor
I, like so many other people, write New York Time Best sellers in my Twitter feed however I simply do it 140 characters at a time!
There may be a quote that came to me out of thin air or a quote that I retweeted that really hit home that I desperately wish to relive, and now I can.
I came across a really cool tool called www.socialsearching.info . It does not recreate the planet, but it certainly makes reviving old tweets pleasant.
I am sure you are asking yourself “Why do I need this when I can scroll through my post and tweets and find what Im looking for?” Sure you could if you wanted to spend time sifting through a maze of good and bad memories. Use this tool in order to find the one single tweet or post you desire! The ux is friendly, attractive, and non invasive. You have now been set free to roam about your tweets! Enjoy!
