The following is a playlist for the broadcast of the Nightowl Radio Show, a one-hour college radio show on station WHCL-FM. The show can be streamed tonight at 7:00 p.m. Eastern at whcl.org. Yeah, my voice is completely shot. Battled a bad cold and it really took a lot out of me. Trying to broadcast…
Read MoreThe Venture Bros. was undoubtedly one of the true bosses of Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim programming block. A show dedicated to the excitement and mythos of those 1960’s Jonny Quest Hanna-Barbera action shows, mixed with a ton of satire and pop-culture references, and a level of world-building not seen on television animated circles.

Read MoreWhen my blog was part of the Times Union’s collection of community weblogs, there used to be a rule among approval of comments.

Read MoreI took my 2017 Chevrolet Volt Premier (“Lightning’s Girl”) for its New York State inspection. Naturally, everything passed with perfection. Because of course it did. Wow. I still can’t believe it’s been a year of hybrid electric vehicle ownership. A year of changing my driving patterns and expectations for a car like this. Understanding the…
Read MoreI’ve worked with several independent and minor basketball leagues over the years.
