My trivia hosting experience has improved over the past few months. I will admit to nerves and jitters the first couple of hosting dates, but now I feel more confident in my efforts. However … there is one teeny weeny issue that’s essentially derailed my best efforts for a technically perfect hosting event. My sound…

The Mike Tomlin Magic 8-Ball
I am saddened this morning. Well, it’s been 48 hours of sadness. After the Pittsburgh Steelers coughed up yet another double-digit playoff loss – their seventh consecutive postseason loss – this time, a 30-6 loss to the Texans, that was punctuated by an Aaron Rodgers fumble that Houston returned for a touchdown. Then came the…
Read More“I am a US citizen from Minneapolis.”
I’m sharing this post from Mastodon as a link (click here), and I’m also reposting this, word for word, because these words are extremely important. This is the horrifying, dehumanizing attack on our brothers and sisters. For every Renee Good who is murdered on camera by these ICE goons, there are these little-told and little-known…
Read More“Attend the church of your choice.”
I’m having a bit of fun with these advertising photo thermometers. So far, I’ve successfully extracted one kitschy photo from an advertising thermometer, and replaced that photo with one of my own. So let’s see if I can do this again. This time … I found this little doozy. Aw, look at this little treasure.…
Read MoreAnother version of A CO Railfan’s Dream
There’s something about my mixture of film and digital photography, A CO Railfan’s Dream, that keeps bringing me back to new versions and creations. I originally printed one gigantic artwork with a mirrored background … and it turned out nicely. For sure. But I wanted to improve on the image. I’m one of those people…
Read MoreWhat’s Up in the Neighborhood – A MILESTONE
Before I start our regular Saturday recap of the blog posts and photos and thoughts of the wonderful people on my blogroll … a personal note. Today’s blog post is my 7,000th published blog post. That includes going all the way back to 2007 for my original blogspot.com portal, then 8 1/2 years at the…
Read MoreHow to create my “Ran Out of Firewood” photo
A couple of years ago, I created this illusion photo, Ran Out of Firewood, which won an award or two at Competition Season time (and was later accepted in the Capital District Photo Regionals). This year, I decided to re-create the illusion, and also share with you a way you can make this image work…
Read MoreWait, there’s an Australian version of Ghosts?
It took a while, but I’ve finally warmed up to the TV show Ghosts. You know, the one where a bevy of spirits inhabit a Hudson Valley home, and cause hijinks and hilarity for the past five years or so. Now this show was originally based on a British sitcom, and many of the archetypes…
Read MoreA second night of trivia hosting per week
So this is cool. For the past two months, I’ve successfully hosted bar trivia at Beer Bones Bar & Grill in Latham / Loudonville. I get a regular rotation of teams, and it’s a good, solid evening of entertainment. And starting tonight … I’m hosting a second night of trivia. Welcome to Wednesday Night Trivia…
Read MoreUPS slow-walks a tariff invoice to trick me into late fees
With the recent news that the U.S. Postal Service is now re-routing all mail to distribution centers – and postmarking them at the distribution center, rather than at the drop-off point at the post office – I’m worried. See, I’m still a person who likes to mail checks and money orders. I also pay many…
