Aquapy Oakland forces Media Bay Photographer into Lake Merritt 
Four to a rowboat not six. FOUR to a rowboat, not six. Today I was in receivership of a really amazingly lame reminder about physics. Just the same, all of the potential and awesomeness abounded until I went in due to the fact that otherwise five people would have been stuck in the drink and capsized as the boat was taking on water. I guess urban cyclists really should stick to the streets....

Occupy Oakland Move-In Day - Battle on Oak Street, 1/28/12: photos

Nevertheless, the march of over a thousand people slowly advanced toward the police line until police unleashed massive...

What really happened at Occupy Oakland on Saturday January 28 For the internet, here's a first-hand account of Occupy Oakland on 1/28/2012, because the news never tells the full story. I'll tell you about the street battle, the 300+ arrests, the vandalism, the flag burning, all in the context of my experience today. This is deeper than the headlines. No major news source can do that for you. The stated goal for the day was to "move-in" to a large, abandoned, building to turn it into a social and political center. It is a long vacant convention center - ...

Occupy the Facts: Let’s Rebuild the Community the System has Failed! 
Our city is in crisis. The Bay area has a wider gap between rich and poor than most other metropolitan areas in the U.S. Nearly one out of five residents lives in poverty. Oakland’s schools, health programs, environmental programs, parks, recreation, libraries, and other services are strained by declining real revenues and a city budget dominated by funding for police, fire, and debt service. Other services are struggling.
With the help of over 16 Occupy Oakland (OO) committees, our c...
