Oakland News Online Blog – vlog by Zennie62 YouTube. OaklandNewsOnline.com is the original blog post for this content.
This is the fifth edition of what is a daily video-blog in the tradition of Rocketboom and called Oakland News Now Daily with some Herb Caen mixed in. And since what Rocketboom was and who Herb Caen is (I prefer that to “was”), let’s get started.
First, my appology for unintentionally getting off a daily routine. I have had a health challenge that caused me to just get more rest; now that it’s over, I am back in the saddle.
ITEM
It’s January 28th, almost the end of the first month of 2023, and Oakland still has no replacement for the outgoing City Administrator Ed Reiskin. The name announced, Steven Falk (who was with Oakland before, two years ago) will not arrive until March. Talk about a leadership gap.
ITEM
During the search for a replacement for the outgoing City Administrator Ed Reiskin, Mayor Thao told Oakland Assistant City Administrator LaTonda Simmons that she “found someone with more experience” to replace Mr. Reiskin. LaTonda has logged 20 years and 8 months with the City of Oakland. Thao has not selected anyone who has more experience within the City of Oakland than LaTonda. Everyone who knows Oakland believes LaTonda should have been the next City Administrator after Ed Reiskin.
ITEM
Fitzgerald Park in Oakland City Council District Three has had someone shot in the face today, a possible homicide on Christmas Eve 2022, homicide on November 28th 2022, and is the focus of a Department of Justice investigation. If we’re not going to close the park, then at least get some security down there, and pay for it as part of a tax increment financing program.
ITEM
Everytime there’s a murder in Oakland, or now Mayor Thao’s placement of Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong on leave, there’s a public meeting of what to do. This habit started with The Pandemic. So far, none of these gatherings have led to an adopted solution. How about no meetings and more action?
ITEM
The Oakland Secret Film Festival is seeking submissions and the deadline is February 10th. The submissions must be at or less than 20 minutes long; anything over that will be rejected. Go to OakSFF.com for more information and to submit your movie. Good luck!

Stay tuned, thanks, and see you tommorrow.

Note from Oakland News Now Blog, Zennie62 YouTube, and Zennie62Media: this Oakland News Online Blog video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018, originally on Zennie62Media , Inc.’s Oakland News Now. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. This is what we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a “liked” YouTube video by a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then that YouTube video is uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Online Blog site and Zennie62Media -created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, thus less chance for Oakland News Online Blog, Zennie62 YouTube vloggers to be robbed. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners. This process is entirely within YouTube terms of service, where embedding of videos for use on websites and platforms is allowed and encouraged.
