Last night, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) appeared at the Democratic National Convention. She spoke eloquently and efficiently. Her words were carefully selected and showed intelligence and compassion. Here’s her nomination speech. "In fidelity and gratitude to a mass peoples' movement working to establish 21st century social, economic, and human rights – including guaranteed health care,…

Okay, ArtBeat Studios, I’m counting on you…
I have two photography pro shops that I swear by. McGreevy Pro Lab in Albany has been a godsend. They have printed some of my biggest award winning photographs and artworks, they’ve put up with my custom requests for Dream Window inserts, they’ll develop all sorts of exotic film for me – no, really, they…
Read MoreIdiot tries to stalk, kidnap pro wrestler
There’s a very fine line between professional wrestlers and their fans. When everyone stays in their lane, pro wrestlers can entertain the fans, and the fans can support the pro wrestlers in purchasing T-shirts and merchandise. But when the matches are over, the pro wrestlers go home. They change from their blue tights and wrestling…

First off, this blog and its author are supporters of the work of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). And for a junior House representative to have a chance to speak at the Democratic National Convention … even for a scant minute … that’s big stuff. And by “scant minute,” I mean it. She’s limited to sixty…

I stumbled across these videos the other day, and after about three hours of watching them (and essentially distracting myself for a good three hours), I felt like sharing this in today’s blog. There are these devices called player pianos, in which you hook up a perforated roll of paper to a piano and the…

I think that the conservative media had their anti-Kamala Harris attacks ready at the instant. The moment that Joe Biden selected her to be his running mate – making Kamala Harris the first black woman on a major party ticket; the first woman of South Asian descent on a major party ticket; the first graduate…
Read MoreSo you’re saying … there’s a TRON 3 in the future???
The 1982 movie TRON was a straight-up masterpiece. Between the cutting-edge special effects, the high-concept storyline of religion and technology, and the swirling, perfect soundtrack from Wendy Carlos, TRON was an eye-opening and mind-bending experience. This is where the Matrix should have gone. It took nearly 30 years for a sequel, but in 2010 we…
