Writing, Photography, and the life lessons I learned from Street Academy
The following is a playlist for the broadcast of the Nightowl Radio Show, a one-hour college radio show on station WHCL-FM. The show can be streamed tonight at 7:00 p.m. Eastern at whcl.org. There’s a lot of tracks from the early 1980’s on tonight’s episode, as well as the debut of two new homemade inter-song…
Read MoreI’ve used Amazon’s Smile ordering service to designate a charitable donation from my online purchases. It’s a passive way to donate to a non-profit organization, while still purchasing whatever odds and ends I can get from Jeff Bezos’ online marketplace. And I’m sure many other people have used the Amazon Smile ordering platform for their…
Read MoreIf you have not read this news article from the Oyster Bay, New York website Patch, read it now. Seriously. Read it now. Here’s the link. Ugh. This story makes my blood boil. In one fell swoop, George Santos – or Anthony DeVolder – or whatever his name is this week – told a homeless…
Read MoreI’m what you would call a medium-level Star Wars fan. I’ll see the movies on opening night (all eleven of them so far, I count Solo as part of the canon), and some of the TV shows. I haven’t really gotten into the animated Star Wars universe – maybe at some point I can binge-watch…
Read MoreI really enjoyed the dystopian sci-fi TV series Snowpiercer. Like all great television sci-fi shows, it was an allegory to our modern world, treating social conflict and isolation and political manipulations in the setting of a transcontinental train carrying the last survivors of a global winter. The first season was great, the second season was…
Read MoreI bought this hand-made knife set 18 months ago. Hand-forged Damascus steel carbon-blade knives from a Pakistan bladesmith. Aren’t they sweet-looking? Too bad I don’t own them any more. Well, not too bad. There’s a reason why I don’t own them any more. After I acquired the knives – and had them professionally sharpened –…
Read MoreSorry everybody, my original post on this crashed (I hate you WordPress), and I had to reconstruct it. Apologies for the late posting today. Have a great weekend, everybody!

The following is a playlist for the broadcast of the Nightowl Radio Show, a one-hour college radio show on station WHCL-FM. The show can be streamed tonight at 7:00 p.m. Eastern at whcl.org. Tonight’s tracks feature duets between living artists and those who had passed away. Just because you’re dead doesn’t mean you still can’t…
Read MoreIn 2020, I submitted some film-generated stereoscopy images to an international 3D stereo photo competition in Vienna, the Photographische Gesellschaft in Wien. Unfortunately, the photos were not selected for the show. Fast forward to 2023. I’ve got a more stable setup with some killer stereoscopic images, and once again, the 3D stereo photo competition is…
Read MoreYou may not know Lynette Hardaway by that name. But if I told you she was “Diamond” of the conservative political commentators “Diamond and Silk,” you would immediately feel the creepiness. Hardaway and her partner Rochelle Richardson (“Silk”) spent the past six years not only supporting Donald Trump, but also supporting all of his arguments…
