As a result of mandatory evacuations, we were unable to publish on Friday, and our servers (hosted at Pixelgate) were mere blocks from destroyed homes and hillsides in Westlake Village. Even worse, I know MANY of you have been personally impacted by these fires--my thoughts to those who have lost homes and businesses within the impact zone. (in particular, there are many of the companies we cover, many sponsors, and others in Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, Agoura, Calabasas, and Malibu). My thoughts are with you at this time. Thank you for the many emails and calls--most of which I've been unable to return all weekend. I hope that we can all return to business as usual in the next few days. Thank you!
