Ed Binggeli’s F/GAS Willys - (USA)
Think “Willys Gasser” and what image comes to mind? Probably the old Stone, Woods, & Cook car, or K.S. Pitman’s little butt kicker, right? Well, if you haunted the Northern California drag racing scene in the early ’60s that image could just as likely be a yellow ‘41 coupe powered with an unlikely Ford flatmotor. Even then, the old L-heads were fading from drag racing because it was so much easier to coax the ponies out of little Chevy smallblocks. But here was this holdout, this passé old

Favorite Aquaman Covers - (USA)
AQUAMAN WEEK continues here at Once Upon a Geek… Today we’re spotlighting some of my favorite Aquaman covers through the years. As I mentioned on Monday, I didn’t start collecting Aquaman fanatically until 1990. However, I’ve gone back and picked up just about every major appearance of the character since the early 1960s. Here are a few of my favorite covers from all the various Aquaman series and appearances. This Alan Davis drawing was used as the cover to Aquaman #17 (2004). What an amaz

Collecting My Thoughts (2009-05-01 04:52) - (USA)
Brand Loyalty Yes, we are a consumer society--authors published mega-hits writing about how we shouldn't buy so much because it was rotting our souls--all the while, hawking their books on Oprah or Dr. Phil. When unemployment was 4.5 in Ohio, newspapers were still writing sob stories about "this economy" and why we should elect a Democrat. Now it's 9.7 and they are just starting to see how they contributed to the problem. But that's history. We've got the man. So what will you give up now that

Hour Play: Shaun White’s Snowboarding - (USA)
Hour Play is a review format that looks at the introduction of a game rather than the game in it’s entirety. In Hour Play we judge the game based strictly on an hour of gameplay, not including cut-scenes, menus, or character customization. I really wanted to like Shaun White’s Snowboarding, which was released today for the 360, PS3, Wii, PSP, DS, and PC. After Skate revolutionized skateboarding games with it’s intuitive and realistic gameplay, I wanted Ubisoft to do the same for the snowboar

Playing Hookey with Ansel Adams & Georgia O’Keeffe - (USA)
Monday I decided to extend my July Fourth weekend a bit and catch the new show down at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. It’s called Natural Affinities and it explores the relationship — personal, artistic and visionary — between Georgia O’Keeffe and Ansel Adams. It seems almost too much to hope for that the great painter of the Southwest, New Mexico in particular, and the master photographer of the West, Yosemite especially, would be friends. Surprise! They were and both mentored by the p

This Tuesday, less than a month after we passed our 2009-11 budget, the Oakland City Council will be back in Chambers (except for Nancy Nadel, who will be teleconferencing in from Jamaica) doing it all over again , looking to make nearly $19 million in new cuts. Fun! So how did the hole get so big so fast? Well, first, the budget passed last June assumed a stimulus grant that would fund 140 police officers. We knew at the time we probably wouldn’t get the entire grant, and would have to op

Well-Being is Better Than Happiness - (USA)
Occasional happy moments can happen to anyone. Happiness can be a number of short-lived states. Going further, I would say that you can be temporarily happy doing things that will hurt you and cause serious trouble in the long wrong. These are differences you must grasp to achieve well-being. In my mind well-being is more a state of contentment and a sense of serenity and peacefulness that comes from knowing you are doing things and living in a way that is right for you.
