Because my blog posts have a 30-day window for comments or posts (to avoid my getting spammed like crazy on vintage posts), I’ll sometimes get messages from people who want to talk to me about some of my legacy writings. They’ll click on the “Contact Chuck Miller” link at the top of my blog, write…

Holy crap, is this the new TRON: Ares trailer??
You can have your “machine with a soul” movies like Ghost in the Shell or The Matrix. Or even old episodes of the Saturday morning TV show ReBoot. That’s fine. Enjoy them. But for me, the concept of humans interacting with a world of artificial intelligence has to begin and end with TRON. I saw…
Read MoreThree big wins by the Albany Patroons this week
It’s good to be an Albany Patroons fan this week, as Albany’s top professional sports team climbed to the top of their division in the 2025 TBL basketball season with three statement victories. And I mean STATEMENT victories. We start off last week, when the Rochester Kingz came to the Armory for their first appearance…
Read MoreWhat’s Up in the Neighborhood, April 5, 2025
It’s a good thing my blog is typed instead of dictated, because my voice is a little hoarse this morning. Which is explainable. I spent last night cheering my lungs out as the Albany Patroons evened their “Route 5 Rivalry” series with the New York Phoenix, taking a 109-103 victory on the Phoenix’ home court.…
Read MoreThe Latch Hook Covered Bridge project as of April 4, 2025
I’ve actually completed a significant portion of my largest-ever latched hook rug, a representation of a Vermont covered bridge with autumn foliage in the distance. When I created the original pattern for this project, I hadn’t initially factored the rug’s completed size. I now estimate that it most likely be completed by Competition Season 2026,…
Read MoreThe Pentacon Six TL goes to the harness track
In an effort to make my Pentacon Six TL camera more functional and versatile, I wanted to test its ability to handle fast sports action. And right now, the best case for “fast sports action” for me is a visit to the Saratoga Harness race track. I packed a roll of expired Kodak Portra 800…
Read MoreThe #SignalGate story from the perspective of a soldier
I wanted to write about the SignalGate scandal – where high-ranking officials not only communicated with each other on a commercially available and unsecured communications network; but that one of the parties included a reporter from The Atlantic into the meeting. But I needed someone who could speak directly to the dangers this situation caused.…

According to a report today in EPSN SportsNews, the New York Yankees have agreed to terms with one of the largest sponsorship deals in sports history, as the richest man in the word, Elon Musk, will pay $3 billion to sponsor the Yankees for 20 years. The deal will provide the Yankees with a new…
Read MoreResults with the new digital scanner
Last week, I blogged about purchasing a new digital scanner for my film negatives. I had hoped that this new scanner – which involves capturing the photos on a miniature backlit light table with my cell phone, then using various software platforms to convert the negative into a positive – would improve my photography productivity…
Read MorePatroons, Phoenix pulverize Pennsylvania pros in pair
Okay, everybody. Follow along with me, because this is kinda complicated. Originally last weekend’s schedule would have seen the Albany Patroons play a home game against the Reading Rebels on Friday night, then travel Saturday to New Jersey to take on the Jersey Shore Breaks. However … that plan got slightly adjusted, with the Patroons…
