Read MoreThe hidden trivia opponent
Two years ago, a team of Times Union staffers won an inaugural charity trivia event. Last year, Trinity Alliance of the Capital District – a team that I participated on – took the title.

Return to the Salty Mug Project
A couple of years ago, I tried an experiment in which I poured super-saturated salt water into a stoneware mug and hoped that the salt would extrude through the micro-fissures in the mug walls as the water evaporated. I did get a couple of reasonable attempts with this … but nothing that really screamed for…

I’ve blogged in the past about my affinity for the 1970’s cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I’ve mentioned about how I binge-watched it in college, using that and a purchased audience par-ti-ci-pa-tion record to learn the call and response cues.

My entries for Historic Albany Foundation’s BUILT 2017 auction are…

Wow. There’s more Sevens in that headline than in a Star Trek: Voyager marathon. So it’s time for my Saturday recap of seven blog posts from the community and independent bloggers on the Times Union’s blog page, and seven blog posts from my personal blogroll. And just a side note – it’s really sad that…

And Charity Season 2017 has commenced. Three of my artworks – two framed photography prints, The Saratoga and North Creek Railroad and Milky Way at the Corinth Reservoir – and my crate art project, Saratoga Vichy Crate Art Project – were on display at the Canfield Casino in Saratoga Springs, as part of the Saratoga…
