I wrote this blog post a few weeks ago, and back then I thought I had seen all the insanity possible regarding Antonio Brown and his ownership of the Albany Empire. Hoo boy, was I wrong. See, in those scant few weeks since I last wrote a blog post, Antonio Brown has had issues paying…
Read MoreCanadian medical drama Wojeck now on YouTube
Three years ago, I blogged about a 1960’s Canadian medical drama, Wojeck, starring John Vernon as a crusading medical examiner in urban Toronto. Think Quincy or CSI with a Canadian accent. At the time, there were only a couple of episodes uploaded on YouTube, as well as opening credits for the show’s two seasons. The…
Read MoreHow to make a pack of Kodak Infrared EIR last for six months…
I don’t shoot as much infrared film as I used to. I mean, I have some efke 820 35mm and 120 rolls in the freezer, so when I DO want to shoot it, I can. Color infrared film, however … that’s another story. The guy from Germany who had all the cool Aerochrome 120 film…

Read MoreThere’s a new BlackBerry … and it’s powered by Raspberry Pi??
I know, I know, when I said you could take my BlackBerry phone from my cold, dead carcass, I wasn’t kidding. There’s still a tiny part of me that wishes someone actually built a 5G BlackBerry that could compete with Android and iPhones … but that never happened. And the one company that claimed to…
Read MoreWhen the Sweet isn’t sweet and the Vogues aren’t in vogue.
Yesterday’s announcement of the “Alive at 5” summer concert series in Albany’s Corning Park caught my attention – especially the notice of July 13th’s “Classic Rock Night” featuring headliners The Sweet. You remember The Sweet, don’t you? All those big hits – “Fox on the Run,” “Ballroom Blitz,” “Love is Like Oxygen,” “Little Willy,” all…
Read MoreA 90-minute weekly Western drama that ran for years? Say hello to The Virginian.
I’ve splashed into the vast catalog that is the FreeVee channel, and have now locked into what apparently was a very popular 1960’s era Western drama. One that aired over 270 episodes, each episode running (with commercials) for 90 minutes. A 90-minute Western drama. Why have I not heard of this before? Say hello to…

Wait, where are the photos??
Sunday morning. Mothers’ Day. And I’m camped out for a quick photo shoot in Corinth. Yep, I’m trying to find that perfect Saratoga, Corinth & Hudson train photo to enter in Competition Season 2023. There’s a small bridge across a little creek near the intersection of Heath Road and Route 9N, just before the SC&H…

I am a person who resists forced change in my life. If have something that works for me, I will hold onto it for as long as possible. But a while back, I had to cut my dental team, known on this blog as Drs. Mohler and Choo, D.D.S., out of my life. And trust…
