The Cal Stanford Big Game day is here and Cal will beat Stanford 30 to 21. I've got to get this and a few other blog posts in before I leave for Atherton and then Palo Alto, but man what fun this week has been. So much Big Game fun it curtails the work routine. The problem of any content creator - with the exception of a game developer of which I also am (just run my Oakland Baseball Simworld) - is that you have to create it before you install it. In my case that means being out and a... Read Full Story

OaklandSeen is KPFA 94.1 KPFA Morning Show radio personality and twice candidate to represent Oakland City Council District Two (now-Councilmember Pat Kernighan won the race), Aimee Allison's new show where she talks about what's happening in Oakland.

For some reason Miley Cyrus name is coming up in a tragic way of late. The first time was a not funny Internet trick, "Miley Cyrus Dead" which scared the heck out of me when I saw it but for a second. This time and just days later, "Miley Cyrus Tour Bus Crash" is real, but thankfully she was not involved in it at all. According to TMZ.com and People Magazine, one of four concert tour buses carrying the lighting crew for Miley Cyrus show crashed this Friday morning outside Richmond, Va. ... Read Full Story

Newsweek's in hot water with the editors of Runner's World Magazine, which did not approve of or like the use of their 'Sarah Palin' photo on Newsweek's cover. A photo that sparked a lot of complaints, including mine: Runner's World wrote: On the cover of this week's issue of Newsweek is a photo that was shot exclusively for the August 2009 issue of Runner's World, in which Sarah Palin was featured on the monthly "I'm a Runner" back page. The photos from that shoot are still under a on... Read Full Story

The Awl is a blog started by ex-Gawker folks Choire Sicha and Alex Balk. I've got to admit I'd never read the thing until I happened on a testy take by Robert Quigley at Mediate.com, the blog by Dan Abrams that I do read regularly.

What ... Read Full Story

...against our President. It's arguably treasonous language and suggestions, coming from supposedly Christian sources, who are, according to Evangelical author Frank Schaeffer, lifting bible verses to trawl for assassins. "Most Americans will just see the bumper-sticker and smile and think that it's facetious... What surprises me is that responsible (if you can put it that way) Republican leadership, and the editors of some of these Christian magazines, etc., etc., do not stand up in holy ... Read Full Story
