Hey there everybody. Welcome to another Saturday morning, where I step away from my blog posts and showcase instead the blog posts of my fellow writers, bloggers, photographers and podcasters. It’s part of the blogging community – you think there’s a good blogger out there, you want to share his or her work with your…

No, I can’t get Nikon cataract implants… dang it…
So here’s the deal. I’m scheduled for cataract surgery this winter. Right eye first, then left eye – the right eye right now has the visual acuity of nylon hosiery, the left eye is holding up but I suspect it’s looking for a package of L’eggs soon. I recently visited the optical surgeon who will…
Read MoreCall 1-(415)-200-SCAM
As you know, I’ve been battling an increase in telephone solicitation calls, including scammers, spammers and slammers. They use spoofed phone numbers to trick people into thinking it’s a local call, or they wait until you answer and then they hang up, which confirms that you’re a real person and would like oodles of cold…

Half Moon and a Rainbow
Five o’clock and the rains have just washed the Albany area with a sudden shower. And I look. Yes, the sun is setting, and there’s a clear view of the sun past the Empire State Plaza. Which means … there’s a rainbow towards the Hudson River. Now rainbows only last for a few minutes –…
Read MoreThe Ballad of Joe Anoa’i
Last night, I was watching Monday Night Raw – yes, I watch professional wrestling, deal with it – and the first person on my TV screen that night was Roman Reigns. Oh great. Another promo to hype an upcoming pay-per-view. But something was different about Roman Reigns’ appearance that night. He wasn’t wearing his usual…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: Seamless segues
I’ve seen these in music videos before … the video director wants to create what looks like a seamless, single take. It might involve the camera panning around, or following the artist from step to step, or maybe just a quick edit that you don’t notice. Fun fun stuff. That, plus a lot of optical…
Read MoreRandom thoughts while working on a new project
So, as the blog headline denotes, I’m currently involved with a new artistic project. It’s a project that I’ve hinted at on my Facebook page, showing snippets and “in progress” photos. But I know that such a project will take months to complete. And I have to find ways to keep my energy up while…
Read More7 and 7 on Saturday, October 20, 2018
One number. I played ten Mega Millions lottery tickets yesterday (all Quick Picks), and I hit one number out of all of my entries. So essentially, I won the knowledge that $20 will go to Andrew Cuomo’s discretionary fund. Oh well… live another day. And even if I didn’t win the big bucks, I can…
Read MoreAnd now I hear from BUILT 2018…
I’ve entered my artworks at BUILT, Historic Albany Foundation’s charity fundraising auction, for nearly eight years. Ever since I submitted my first piece, a print of The AGFA Bridge Over Ansco Lake, my artworks have found new “forever homes” with art lovers throughout the Capital District. Earlier this year, I submitted two photos and…

A brand new opportunity for Infrared Horizon 787
Several months ago, I was driving to Albany via Interstate 787, when I passed by the little clearing between Exits 7 and 6. It was a quick glance to my right, as it always is when I pass this spot on the highway. A little stream, with a scary nightmare tree along its shore. On…
