Update. As I am still homebound and unable to put weight on this surgically-repaired ankle, I’m trying to keep my spirits up by watching various television shows, whether they’re network, or basic cable, or streaming shows. So far I’ve found a decent mix … but it’s been a hit-and-miss prospect. For example, I’ve been catching…
Read MoreMore than just a “first world problem,” bud.
So yesterday, I posted an update on what I felt was Verizon’s sneaky way to force me to buy a new phone, despite the fact that my current phone – a BlackBerry KEYone – works just fine and does not need any updates or any modifications. The situation is as such. BlackBerry is no longer…
Read MoreVerizon’s latest dirty trick
Anybody who’s read my blog for any distinct period of time knows that I am loyal to my BlackBerry. I’ve rocked the physical keyboard for at least ten years – I’ve done the Priv, the Q10, the 8703, all of them. I’m currently driving a KeyONE and I love it. Then came the news yesterday…
Read MorePushing Daisies – the great show that never got a fair shake
I’m not really a person for fantastical drama – the shows where you mix high comedy and fantasy and romance together. Mostly because when there actually WAS a decent fantastical drama out there, it was subsequently murdered by forces not of its own making. That show was called Pushing Daisies. Yes, I can sense that…
Read MoreThe results of Trivia Bowl XVI
The morning of Trivia Bowl XVI, my friend Ed – he plays on the team A Few Cards Short of a Deck – contacted me and asked if I wanted to join them, as they had an open slot. Ed knew that I wasn’t going in this year due to my broken ankle, but he…
Read MoreA big win for the Albany Patroons last night, 130-120 over Tri-State
I’m still trying to work my way back from an ankle injury, which kept me from attending the Albany Patroons’ home opener at the Armory last night. And although I couldn’t be there in spirit … at least I could watch the game online. And what I saw was the Patroons shake off some early…
Read MoreWhat’s Up in the Neighborhood, February 1 2020
Yeah, I’m still bummed. Because of my broken ankle and the “no weight bearing” requirements on it, I can’t participate in Trivia Bowl today. I also can’t participate in the Patroons’ opening night. This sucks quail eggs. However, I’ll still be a part of Trivia Bowl – instead of answering the questions, I can tell…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: I’ve heard that Space Age Pop song before …
Space Age Pop is an eclectic subgenre of early to mid 1960’s pop music. It experimented with stereo separations, it created a more percussive instrumental format, and invariably it was used as background music or instrumental filler for everything from commercials to short films. I’ve got a few examples of this cool Space Age Pop…
Read MoreThat time Johnny Rotten called me a “stupid, filthy sod.”
I did one of those Facebook games the other day – the kind where you post three outlandish stories and challenge your FB friends to find the one that’s false. Well, here’s the story behind one of the “true” stories. It’s 1984, and as a college student, I spent most of my free time at…
Read MoreThe Return of WPTR!! And damn it sounds good!
Well, they did it. God bless them, WPTR is back on the air. It’s a community radio station, which means that the music format will vary from hour to hour, depending on the on-air radio personality at that time. You can listen to it on your FM radio, on your AM radio (yes, some people…
