I’m locking in March 31, 2022.

Couple of things to note here. I am a long-time fan of the Albany Patroons basketball team. I am also a league statistician for the National Basketball League of Canada, and have been for the past decade. Which makes March 31, 2022 a very special day for me. This year, the NBL Canada will play…

Najee Harris knows what a bed is, ESPN.

Last Monday night, I watched the Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. The win continued the Steelers’ four-game win streak, it pushed them closer to the top of the AFC North division, and hopefully shut up all the naysayers about the Steelers’ 2021-22 season.

The results of BUILT 2021

First things first. I had a tradition of wearing all my BUILT artist pins every year. That ended after last year, when my BUILT 2013 pin disappeared on the way home from BUILT 2020. So if anybody out there has an extra BUILT 2013 stickpin and can spare it, please contact me. That being said,…

BlackBerry KEYone: 2017-2021.

The problems started on Monday. For some reason, I was not able to pick up Verizon’s cell network on my BlackBerry KEYone cell phone. Using a landline, I contacted Verizon, who told me that there was an issue with a cell phone tower in my area, and that everything should resolve momentarily. By Wednesday, the…

The results of “Work of Art” 2021

Two years ago, right around this time, I traveled to Old Forge, New York, and photographed a 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle that was repainted with Grateful Dead logos and had traveled to dozens of Grateful Dead concerts. I used various filters to capture the car’s image, and combined some of those photos into a lenticular,…

And Charity Season 2021 begins … NOW!

My photographs had a good run this year as part of my personally-named “Competition Season 2021,” so I’m hoping that my upcoming “Charity Season 2021” has just as much success. “Charity Season” is when I submit my photos and artworks to various charitable organizations for their upcoming auctions and fundraisers, and so long as the…
