http://www.zennie62.com - This is my visit to the YouTube Community Roundtable meeting in San Francisco. It was a great way to get to know other YouTubers and to meet the great YouTube team. I also got to slide down the Google Employee Slide that goes from one floor to the next. Fun stuff!

NCAA week two was marked by two marque games: Notre Dame v. Michigan and USC v. Ohio State. In the first game, Notre Dame, which was 18th ranked and is now dropped from the rankings, looked to the contest as the "must-win" if The Fighting Irish were to prove to themselves and to America that they were indeed BCS-bound. They failed. Distributed by Tubemogul.

Lady GaGa, The Jonas Brothers and Gravy Boat are all in the business of music and part of my new series called Music Monday where we feature blogs and videos about local and national singers and groups. Here, I present to you Gravy Boat.

I happened to run upon an article in today's edition of Editor and Publisher which reported that the San Francisco Chronicle was planning more layoffs after Labor Day. It may not happen, let's pray not, but staff reductions could come as soon as next week. Here's my plan... Distributed by Tubemogul.

Later in the video its implied that Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa will benefit from the bribe amount. On video today I talked to Chevron Media Relations representative Sean Covey about the video and Chevron's investigation.

http://oaklandfocus.blogspot.com - LakeFest is a street fair that was held last Saturday and Sunday August 1st and 2nd on Lakeshore Avenue between Lake Park and Mandana. It's back wtih great bands and vendors selling clothes and representing everything from the new Lake Chalet restaurant to Friends of the Oakland Public Library. I talked with a number of Oaklanders about the festival because there was a long period of time that, well, there was not an event of this kind at this location. That is until Helen Wyman stepped in. Helen Wyman is an event producer currently best known for the first, successful Uptown street fair held June 18th of this year.

I had the pleasure of hanging out with two of my favorite "vloggers" Irina Slutsky and Tracy Swedlow, of Geek Entertainment Television and Interactive TV Today. The idea was really just to meet at a cool cafe called "Mission Pie" on 25th and Mission in San Francisco and share ideas as friends - we all know each other already; this wasn't our first time talking but it was my first time getting together with both of them at once. We talked about events, vloggers, t-shrts, boobs, and the Karate Kid. Distributed by Tubemogul.

http://oaklandfocus.blogspot.com - On May 19th Alameda residents will be able to assure the economic future of the City of Alameda by voting for the Alameda Point Development Plan for the redevelopment of Alameda Naval Air Station as planned by the Alameda Base Reuse Committee and its subsequent evolutions to the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Commission of today. The plan consists of a mix of uses and an ambitious plan adding over 4,000 much-needed housing units. But the most important fact is the plan will mark the begining of the replacement economic development we have worked to achieve for so long. Opponents point to Measure A as the reason why the plan should be defeated, but the fact is Measure A was passed in 1973 and represents a time when Alamedans were interested in restricting development and maintaining Alameda from people of color. Those days are long gone. Now, Alameda needs jobs and the region wants to see The City of Alameda have an economic development project that replaces the closed Naval Air Station. This is that project. Distributed by Tubemogul.

http://www.zennie62.com -- The NY Post Racist Cartoon Is "New Yorker" Eyeball Strategy. It's a ploy to get web visitors and to sell newspapers and it's working. It was done by the New Yorker last year with that Obama cover and now the NY Post is doing it. Distributed by Tubemogul.

The cell phone gun is now in media view after a raid of an Italian Mafia group last fall. A 28-year old man captured had this device, but the the others got away. I fear this weapon - which is in the United States - would wind up in our high schools.

http://zennie2005.blogspot.com/2008/12/rachel-maddow-for-meet-press-moderator.html - Rachel Maddow's the best choice to replace Tom Brokaw and the late Tim Russert before him. She would carry on Russert's tradition of fairness.
