“Keep It Oakland” Movement Aims To Help Small Independant Businesses In Oakland - Video “Keep It Oakland” is a movement that was already there but now has been accelerated by the Oakland Indie Alliance. The intent, as explained to me by Amy Hillyard, co-owner of Farley’s East Cafe in Uptown Oakland, is to support and promote The Town’s native entrepreneurs. Amy explained that the Oakland Indie Alliance hired an agency to establish the promotional campaign (it should have called Zennie62Media for help, but I digress). The T-shirt you see was created to raise funds for the non-profit. You can buy the t-shirts at Farley’s East Cafe at 33 Grand Avenue, which is the home of the “Keep It Oakland” movement.

Vtrus Atonomous Drone At 2018 TechCrunch August Capital Party - Video Need a drone that can fly and gather data and then land on its own mini base station? Vtrus Atonomous Drone can do that and it’s makers were at The TechCrunch 2018 August Capital Party. Johathan Lenoff, Vtrus Chief Technology Officer, explained that the drone was under development and in the prototype stage but could fly indoors in a plant, gather photos and information and then land in its base station. The base station is a thing out of 2001: A Space Odyssey. It had doors that automatically open via small servo motors and the drone lands in it much like the Space: 1999 Eagle would land on its base station on the moon in that classic TV show.

Oakland Art & Soul Festival NFL Zennie62 Fans Give Oakland Raiders 2018 NFL Predictions - Video How do you think the Oakland Raiders will do with Jon Gruden at the helm of the organization for at least the 2018 NFL Season? That’s the question I asked Zennie62 on YouTube fans I met at the Oakland Art & Soul Festival on Saturday. What shocked me was one man said the Raiders would do no better than .500 or 8 and 8. Eight wins and eight losses. Of course, some, like ESPN’s Colin Cowherd, had the Raiders finishing dead last in the AFC for the 2018 NFL Season. Personally, I think the Raiders will finish at 10 Wins and 6 losses. The offense will be different and Bill Walsh-based - you can see that in the practice videos. Moreover with all of that talent on defense and under a new single gap scheme, they will be better than the six and ten of 2017. But the Raiders better Sign Khalil Mack, or this prediction is going to go down to 9 and 7. Stay tuned. via IFTTT https://youtu.be/CK...

New Peet’s Coffee In Downtown Oakland Gives Zennie62 Free Pastries - Video The new Peet’s Coffee In Downtown Oakland at 1615 Broadway, is quite the meeting place for Uptown. Located right where Broadway and Telegraph Avenue meet, I’ve ran into everyone from Jesse Smith, who’s running for Mayor of Oakland, to Kenzie Smith, who’s running for the Oakland City Council District Two Seat, to Steve Snider of the Downtown Oakland Business Improvement District. It’s already a true community center. They’re also nice people. The folks who worked there had zero idea I was a media guy when they asked me if I wanted to take home some pastries! It was Saturday and I just happened to walk in after the Art & Soul Festival and wanted to upload a vlog over coffee before going over to my godparents for dinner. So, I thought of the two people who would most enjoy such a large haul outside of my Mom in Georgia. It was a very nice gesture. By the way, the coffee is good, too! Stay tuned. via IFTTT ...

Mission Impossible Fallout Review At Grand Lake Theater Oakland - Video In Mission Impossible Fallout, Tom Cruise manages to do what James Bond would never do: make being a secret agent look like a thankless job. In the process he made the best mission impossible movie of the series. In paring with Superman Henry Cavill (who can’t quite make you think he is someone other than Clark Kent) Cruise always has to watch his back. And then there is Alec Baldwin. In playing Tom Cruise boss in the Impossible Mission Force, Alec Baldwin communicates that while he says he is supporting Tom Cruise who is Ethan Hunt, he also makes it clear he is willing to turn him in to suit his own purposes. And then there is Rebecca Thompson. The amazing action actress appears throughout the film. But it’s not clear why she is in the movie until near the end. The only two people Tom Cruise can trust are Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames. Cruise can’t even trust CIA Director Angela Bassett. All of that combined with...

Rudy’s Can’t Fail Cafe Oakland Closed As Rent, Wage Increase Victim - Video Wow. Rudy's Cant Fail Cafe Closes In Oakland.

And I found out the hard way: hungry for a Rudy's Cant Fail Cafe helping of Green Eggs and Ham (not kidding), after attending the TechCrunch August Capital Party in Menlo Park (they only had cheeseburger sliders, and I don't eat cheese on my sliders, so I passed). I was starving. Rudy's Cant Fail Cafe In Oakland was right off the 19th Street BART Station exit part of Fox Theater and next to Make Westing Bar, so it was an easy walk. And closed. A couple of security guard friends of mine told me the shutter was abrupt, and workers were laid off without warning and the culprit was a rumored rent increase on top of the higher minimum wage regulations for 2018 in Oakland.

Charlie used an example from the Cowboys vs Rams game of last year where Dallas lined up three wide receivers to the left with Dez Bryant as the middle slot pass catcher in the group of three: the outside receiver ran an up pattern, the inside-most receiver a kind of look-in patterned to the middle of the defense, and Bryant a slant pattern to the middle of the defense.

Marchon Tatmon Oakland Mayoral Race Candidate Interview - Video Marchon Tatmon is a candidate for Mayor of Oakland 2018l, who I just happened to run into at Bacheesos Restaurant on Grand Avenue and Park View Terrace. I happened to be sitting down to lunch, and so he agreed to this livestream interview. The standard format I have is to allow the candidate as much speaking room to get out their platform as possible. We only had a few minutes. So far, I have interviewed Cat Brooks, Jesse Smith, Saied Kamarooz, and now Marchon Tatmon for this 2018 Oakland Mayors Race Election. Stay tuned.

New Zealand All-Blacks, Black Ferns, Take Rugby World Cup Sevens 2018 SF Championship - Video New Zealand All-Blacks, Black Ferns, Take Rugby World Cup Sevens 2018 SF Championship. Perry Baker of USA Rugby said that he didn’t think of the All-Blacks when I asked him if he was tired of all of the talk about them in our interview. Well, after both the All-Blacks and their female version called The Black Ferns crushed their opposition, Mr. Baker has to spend another few contests pretending like they don’t at all exist, when not only does everyone else know they do, they are hailed by some as the best ever. The New Zealand All-Blacks clobbered England 33 to 12. And just when Her Majesty’s team looked like it was going to make a game of it, The All Blacks made two scoring drives that were of such intimidating power, they had to be seen to be believed. England defenders were bouncing off All-Blacks ball carriers and in a fashion that was purely comical. England men looked smaller and for...

Pita Taumoepenu Of San Francisco 49ers At Rugby World Cup Sevens SF 2018 - Video Pita Taumoepenu Of San Francisco 49ers At Rugby World Cup Sevens SF 2018 Pita is the San Francisco 49ers second year pass rusher who made the transition from rugby, and became an asset to the young Niners Defense. But on this weekend and this World Championship Sunday, the Tonga rugby star said he would rather be playing down there on the field, than watching in the stands. As the story goes, Pita Taumoepenu grew up with his mother's family 3,000 miles away from island of Tongatapu, which is the main island in the Tongan archipelago. There, the common sport is rugby, and while he was terrific at that sport, he had to get used to wearing a facemask. But that little impediment didn't stop him from being an effective pass rusher at Utah, where he earned his sociology degree in just three years. Then, he was taken in the 6th round by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2017 NFL Draft. via IFTTT https:...
