I do. And so does everyone else in our Northern California offices. Her name is Danielle Bricker. And she is singularly responsible for getting people out of their gas-guzzling cars and into far-more-pleasurable, alternative modes of transportation (WiFi shuttle buses, commuter trains, light rail, bikes, van pools, carpools, etc.).

With the title of “Commute Coordinator,” Danielle is likely a maverick in Corporate America. She’s not only a cheerleader for a greener way of life (literally walking the walk), she’s there to help every Yahoo figure out the most practical way from Point A to Point B. And she has a good answer for just about every excuse you can come up with: “What if my kid gets sick in the middle of the day and I have no car?” Our guaranteed ride home program won’t cost you a dime. “But I’ll get sweaty on my bike!” We’ve got showers. “No one else works my hours.” Let me check my database of carpoolers.

Here’s a report NBC just ran about Danielle and our commute program, inspired by photos she took on a recent commute from San Francisco.

With fossil fuel flirting with $4 a gallon, you need to get yourself a Danielle.

Props to Paul Stamatiou, former Yodel intern, for his great how-to on embedding Flickr slideshows.

Flickr, the world’s leading photo sharing community, has over 14,000 photos tagged with “elvis,” proving once and for all that Mojo Nixon knew what he was singing about:

It’s National Elvis Week and people from around the world are converging on Graceland to pay their respects to the king.

Flickr Spokesdog Dos Pesos has asked me to assure his fans that rumours about him masterminding the mauling of Elvis’ teddy bear have no basis in fact. None.

Photos from shadowplay, longristra and Angelav. See more photos tagged with Elvis in Flickr’s Elvis Clusters.
