I understand there’s some sort of upcoming protest / demonstration planned for downtown Albany today. This is another one of those “we need the country open again” demonstrations. And with that in mind, I have some thoughts that I’d like to share with those demonstrators today. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR EVER-LOVIN’ MINDS???? First of…

Hurry! Only five more Batmobiles left!!
About ten years ago, I blogged about a company in Indiana, Fiberglass Freaks, who take regular cars and customize them into replicas of the Batmobile from 1966-69 Batman TV series. Originally the Batmobile from the show was a Lincoln Futura concept car, and was heavily customized from its original look to become the legendary supercar…

The “Alliance for Progress” Pillow
It is official. I have been cooped up for too long. It’s gotten to the point where I’m making homemade pillows. No, I’m serious. Chuck Miller has stitched together a homemade pillow. This COVID-19 quarantine sequester has turned me into a hobbyist that crafts in realms I haven’t experienced before. At one point in time,…

You mean I can get an After the Rain face mask? Wow…
I am all for supporting those people who can make homemade and home-stitched face masks. I think it’s hella cool that they can do this. I’ve actually purchased some face masks from some of my friends, in that I know we’re going to need to wear them for a very long time. Trust me, COVID-19…

It looks like I got away from the TU blog portal just in time. Nearly 11 years ago, I signed on as a blogger with the Times Union’s blog portal, and stayed there for 8 1/2 years. I left the portal in 2017, and have found more success as a solo practitioner. Meanwhile, the blog…

As much as I’m getting used to living like a hermit and having all my necessities delivered, I’m still working my way through the grocery shopping situation. During this COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve had decent success in getting certain staples from the “shop on line” portals, but ordering meat has been a hit-or-miss endeavor. Example. Two…
Read MoreScammers and swindlers don’t care about COVID-19
In the past week, I’ve had two attempts of someone trying to compromise my existence. One was an e-mail phishing scam; the other was a credit card breach. I shall explain. A few days ago, i received this e-mail out of the blue. I’ve changed a few things in the e-mail for security reasons, but…
Read MoreMore macro fun as a COVID-19 distraction
I’m seeing some blooms. And I’m seeing some petals. There may be life in this barren wasteland after all. In an effort to keep myself functional during this COVID-19 pandemic, while still remaining in isolation to avoid catching the coronavirus myself, I’ve set up a small studio with the goal of photographing items in macro…
Read MoreStormy Daniels doesn’t need your money for that
There’s a website out there called Cameo, in which you can pay to have an athlete, actor, musician, public figure, whomever, wish your best bud a Happy Birthday or a congratulations or the like. You could get Rick Harrison from Pawn Stars to congratulate you on your retirement; you could get Kevin Conroy to do…
Read MoreThe angels of COVID-19
Yesterday, I wrote a blog post about those cretins and cruds who would disrupt and take advantage of others during this COVID-19 war. It’s the equivalent of the old “war profiteers” who hoarded vital supplies and the jacked up the prices to sell them to those in need. Ugh. Today, I want to share a…
