I couldn’t believe it. Over 500 photos on my phone. Some going back, honestly, nearly half a decade. I shall explain. I’ve owned my BlackBerry KEYone cell phone for the past four-plus years. It was a replacement for my BlackBerry PRIV, which was a fantastic phone until I accidentally dropped it and it banged off…

Tony Goldmark is a really good person. I met him at a few “Weird Al” Yankovic fan conventions (yes, I go to “Weird Al” Yankovic fan conventions, deal with it), and Tony’s created several different podcasts and YouTube features over the years. He’s an expert on Walt Disney’s theme parks, and he’s written detailed synopses…

Yesterday morning, I was in Schenectady and needed breakfast. A quick pit stop at Mike’s Hot Dogs – you can’t miss the neon sign on Erie Boulevard – and I was chomping on scrambled eggs and homefries. It was then that I looked up at the window panes along the diner, and I noticed that…

The Pride of the Palace
Although I haven’t used my Kodak Medalist II camera (“Kodak Red”) in a long while, I felt it was in need of a maintenance and upgrade. Somewhere along the years, Kodak Red’s internal rangefinder prism broke, and one of the focusing rings on the lens locked up. And yeah, it was just a BEAST to…
Read MoreHey, Scammers – I’ve got itches in my pants!
Ah, it never ceases to amaze me. The scammers will call any day or night, hoping to get me hooked into purchasing some extended vehicle warranty that’s worthless, or they’ll try to sucker me into a vacation to the sunny shores of Utica. One of the tactics these scammers will employ is to have a…
