The Future of "The Six" in Modesto 6.
After hearing about Mayor Ridenhour will be charging for the public to be present for the State of the City address, I thought it would be a good time to refocus. We need to examine what our reliance on others is doing for us, and what we ourselves can provide to our communities through our direct involvement. Not in politics, mind you, but as individuals with a careful eye on our neighborhoods,...

The best and worst of the first few days of 20-10
Dan Rogers-Modesto Six Blog
There have only been two full days in this new year, and already the mind boggles. On New Year’s night, two Modesto firefighters were injured and our community responded. Someone I am proud to call a friend, Trinity Balmonte took it upon herself to make some get well cards for the fallen heroes and deliver them to firehouse #5 on Briggsmore & McHenry. ...

But with the turn of a calendar page, we gain momentum, traction and courage. We experienced 2009. Now, as we attack...

New LIVE vlogcast!
So, there are many things that go on that I don’t get a chance to tweet, but remain important, including giving props to those in the Twitter community who need or deserve it. There are events in the community that need promotion. There are things others may be curious about with regards to what I do as well (though not bloody likely). Add to all that the fact that I have become a total...

WE WIN!
Well, according to our formula, we did. We had 2 scrimmages today, and after each, the kids would say, did we win? Did we win? I said, “Did you try your hardest?” “Yes.” “Did you have fun?” “Yes.” “Then, yes, we won!” The kids were great from an effort and listening point, and essentially, we just ran a pass or a run. The quarter...

I got a call today about doing an interview regarding my work on #nomocrime. I have been awed by the response this story has gotten by traditional news media. Fox 40 as well as KCRA have done features on the virtual town hall concept.
I couldn’t be more happy with these outfits helping to get the word out. There seems to be one problem though. Tv and radio and newspapers are passive...
