Wow. It seems like only a year ago that Stern Fans won their second Trivia Bowl, and did so in quintessentially Stern Fans-ish manner – by betting a few points and watching as every other team got the answer wrong. That put their name on the coveted trophy. Now it’s 2015, and the eleventh meeting…

Albany Center Gallery’s Northeast Home Show – with two Chuck artworks!!
Two years ago, one of my Dream Window constructs, Dream Window 5: The Thirst Quencher, appeared as part of the Albany Center Gallery’s Northeast Home Show art show at the Times Union Center. After not submitting anything in 2014 – I really didn’t think I had anything hang-worthy that year – I submitted three pictures…
Read MoreIf X60 = ☹ then solve for X.
It’s Thursday night and I’m nervous as hell. Here’s what happened. Last week, my Street Academy trivia team claimed the victory for the night in the Big Brothers Big Sisters “Big Brains Trivia” game. Out of a possible 65 points (five ten-question rounds, including some bonus questions), we scored 60. Spent the night brushing off…

Read MoreThe Purple Express, and how to find another…
As I continue my tests and excursions with my new Russian panoramic camera, I spent Sunday morning traipsing through some sites along Route 20 – Guilderland, Duanesburg, that kind of thing. I really didn’t find much that caught my eye, except for this New York Central locomotive that was part of some roadside attraction in…
Read MoreWho was that girl in the commercial?
Last night, I played trivia over at Brown’s Brewing. It’s my normal Monday night game, and I figured I’d play it instead of worrying about a Nor’easter that might ruin all my plans for tomorrow. I was in third place, and the final question was in the category of “Women in commercials.” Okay. Could be…
Read MoreWhen does forgiveness start?
Any time I get an e-mail that says “Chuck Miller – personal,” I automatically associate it with someone trying to either sell me something or to try to swindle me out of something. You know, Nigerian princes and the like. This time, it was different. And it brought back memories that I had hoped were…
Read MoreThe Times Union’s “Buddies Ambition Club”
So I found a very interesting piece of the Times Union’s history. And I have absolutely no idea what it’s supposed to represent. It’s a copper, coin-shaped object about the size of a penny. On the obverse are the words “Buddies Ambition Club,” an inkwell and feathered quill, and the words “Albany Times Union.” The…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: Customize your hits!
What you’re about to hear is something really intriguing. What if the one version of a song that you’re used to hearing was actually a song that was designed only for your home town or your home city? Yep. It happened, at least more than once. And I have some examples on today’s K-Chuck Radio…

My Street Academy trivia team has participated in the annual Big Brothers Big Sisters “Big Brains” trivia tournament for the past three years. In doing so, we’ve raised a lot of money for the organization, and we’ve had a great time in doing so. Last night, my team – which included my friends Donna and…
