I like Gatorade Zero. It’s refreshing and it’s a low-sugar alternative for me. Usually I get the orange Gatorade Zero or the blue Gatorade Zero or the white Gatorade Zero, they all taste great. Yesterday, I tried this Gatorade Zero formula. That’s right. Gatorade Zero – lime cucumber flavor. Listen, I’m thinking it’s just a…

What does a bicolor sunflower look like as a latched hook rug?
I said I wasn’t doing any more of these latched hook rugs. Yeah, and just like a New Year’s Resolution, I did it anyway. The plan was to use up the one leftover latched hook canvas and whatever yarns I still had from my NEBA/Mike’s latched hook project from last year. Went through my photos…
Read MoreWait, there’s a BlackBerry movie coming out?? Seriously?!?
Longtime readers of this blog know that for as long as I’ve had cell phones, I’ve been a BlackBerry loyalist. Trust me, I stuck with the ‘Berry through eight different iterations, until Verizon’s network would no longer support by ‘Berry and I was forced to change to a Google Pixel 6 Pro. I say “forced…

Read MoreA year of Lightning’s Girl
I 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 MoreYou can’t spell basketball without BSL.
I’ve worked with several independent and minor basketball leagues over the years. I started when the Albany Patroons were in the Continental Basketball Association, then I moved to the Premier Basketball League, then joined up with the National Basketball League of Canada, continued to work with the Patroons while they existed in the North American…
Read MoreThe Honest Government Ads – as profane as they are informative
Of late, I’ve enjoyed this series of “Honest Government Ads” made by an Australian group known as TheJuice Media. Essentially they use a spokesperson who describes some government function or a touristy destination – and then the episode turns all dark and informative. And hilarious. And vulgar.

Read MoreSo that’s where Lamothe Landing is.
With warmer weather on the horizon, it’s time for me to break out the Nikon Df dual action setup and try to get that last stereo shot of the Saratoga, Corinth & Hudson Railway so that I can complete a customized View-Master reel of stereoscopic train photos.

Last week, I blogged about my brand new Nixie clock with its glowing red-orange numbers and waycool aesthetics.

How numbers that need more visual display are oriented into the front of the Nixie tube rather…
