I know, I know, when I said you could take my BlackBerry phone from my cold, dead carcass, I wasn’t kidding. There’s still a tiny part of me that wishes someone actually built a 5G BlackBerry that could compete with Android and iPhones … but that never happened. And the one company that claimed to…

When the Sweet isn’t sweet and the Vogues aren’t in vogue.
Yesterday’s announcement of the “Alive at 5” summer concert series in Albany’s Corning Park caught my attention – especially the notice of July 13th’s “Classic Rock Night” featuring headliners The Sweet. You remember The Sweet, don’t you? All those big hits – “Fox on the Run,” “Ballroom Blitz,” “Love is Like Oxygen,” “Little Willy,” all…
Read MoreA 90-minute weekly Western drama that ran for years? Say hello to The Virginian.
I’ve splashed into the vast catalog that is the FreeVee channel, and have now locked into what apparently was a very popular 1960’s era Western drama. One that aired over 270 episodes, each episode running (with commercials) for 90 minutes. A 90-minute Western drama. Why have I not heard of this before? Say hello to…

Wait, where are the photos??
Sunday morning. Mothers’ Day. And I’m camped out for a quick photo shoot in Corinth. Yep, I’m trying to find that perfect Saratoga, Corinth & Hudson train photo to enter in Competition Season 2023. There’s a small bridge across a little creek near the intersection of Heath Road and Route 9N, just before the SC&H…
Read MoreGoodbye to Mohler and Choo, D.D.S. – hello to my new dentist!
I am a person who resists forced change in my life. If have something that works for me, I will hold onto it for as long as possible. But a while back, I had to cut my dental team, known on this blog as Drs. Mohler and Choo, D.D.S., out of my life. And trust…

It’s Mother’s Day weekend, so make sure you get your mother plenty of flowers and treat her right. And by “mother,” I mean any person who actually provided true care and nurturing, it is not limited to birth mothers. It can include stepmothers, adopted mothers, and even fur baby mothers. Just so you know. And…

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. To avoid any issues involving my voice in the future, I’m testing out a brand new artificial intelligence radio co-host – R8CH3L…
Read MoreSpectrum Cable sure knows me when it’s billing time, though…
When it comes to paying the necessary bills in my life, I do so with the knowledge that if I owe money, it must be paid. If I want lights in my house, then I pay the light bill. If I want to call someone, then I pay the phone bill. And if I want…
Read MoreWhen the 1919 Hudson River flooded in 2023.
It’s March of 1919, and the Albany Argus notes that the Hudson River is swelled to its bursting point. A combination of ice, a recent storm, and potential warm weather, turned communities on the Hudson River into panic centers. I now quote from the Argus, printed in its March 29, 1919 edition. “As the result…

Earlier this year, I captured some 3-D shots at the Albany Patroons / Lehigh Valley Legends basketball game. Of the several different 3-D shots I was able to snag … this one turned out the best. Sure, I would have preferred to get a nice sweet Patroons dunk or something like that, but I’ll take…
