It’ll be on the big screen for an anniversary showing, it’ll be released on DVD or Blu-Ray for a special commemorative sale, and then it will eventually return to the Apple vault. Yellow Submarine is a fantastic animated…

Wait, Gordon Ramsay can swear like George Carlin?
During my self-imposed quarantine / sequester / whatever the hell we’re calling COVID-19 avoidance these days, I’ve been streaming through a lot of different television options on my Apple TV service. One of these options is the Tubi channel, which has a mixture of TV shows, movies and documentaries. Some of the offerings are worth…
Read MoreTo all the chisel-brains who are planning a protest in Albany today…
I understand there’s some sort of upcoming protest / demonstration planned for downtown Albany today. This is another one of those “we need the country open again” demonstrations.

Hurry! Only five more Batmobiles left!!
About ten years ago, I blogged about a company in Indiana, Fiberglass Freaks, who take regular cars and customize them into replicas of the Batmobile from 1966-69 Batman TV series.

It looks like I got away from the TU blog portal just in time. Nearly 11 years ago, I signed on as a blogger with the Times Union’s blog portal, and stayed there for 8 1/2 years. I left the portal in 2017, and have found more success as a solo practitioner. Meanwhile, the blog…

As much as I’m getting used to living like a hermit and having all my necessities delivered, I’m still working my way through the grocery shopping situation. During this COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve had decent success in getting certain staples from the “shop on line” portals, but ordering meat has been a hit-or-miss endeavor. Example. Two…
Read MoreScammers and swindlers don’t care about COVID-19
In the past week, I’ve had two attempts of someone trying to compromise my existence. One was an e-mail phishing scam; the other was a credit card breach. I shall explain. A few days ago, i received this e-mail out of the blue. I’ve changed a few things in the e-mail for security reasons, but…
Read MoreMore macro fun as a COVID-19 distraction
I’m seeing some blooms. And I’m seeing some petals. There may be life in this barren wasteland after all. In an effort to keep myself functional during this COVID-19 pandemic, while still remaining in isolation to avoid catching the coronavirus myself, I’ve set up a small studio with the goal of photographing items in macro…
