Point of order. As you know, I work with the National Basketball League of Canada, a professional basketball league with talent equivalent to the National Basketball Development League, also known as the NBA D-League. The D-League has been nicknamed the D-League ever since its construction in 2000. That’s almost two decades. Well … next year…

Is Verizon’s new unlimited plan worth it for me?
Background. Way back in ancient times, Verizon offered an unlimited data plan for its users, and when they got rid of that unlimited data plan, those who still had the plan were “grandfathered” into keeping it, so long as they didn’t enter into a new contract. Now for me, that’s been a bit of an…
Read MoreBachelor Cooking: Panko Fried Steak
Welcome to another episode of Chuck Miller’s “Bachelor Cooking,” where I show you tasty and nutritious meals that can be cooked for a single serving. Or as Steve Barnes might call it, “Who is this Chuck Miller person and why is he trying to poison the Capital District with these recipes?” So here’s the deal. …
Read MoreI couldn’t hold back any more.
I’m not a normally sedentary person. People who know me understand that I’m often working on several different projects at any one time. But for the past few weeks, I’ve been immobilized. And after last Thursday, when my orthopedic surgeon removed my plaster cast and let me return to the walking boot, he told me…
Read MoreThe Snowstorm and the Franken-boot
It’s Thursday morning. I’ve been under convalescence for the past three weeks. My brooken foot has survived surgery, and now it’s time for rehabilitation. During this time, I’ve lived like a virtual hermit in my home. With my left leg wrapped in a gauzy splint, I was barely able to make it to the bathroom…

Read MoreBest of our TU Independent Bloggers, February 9, 2017: Ten for Thursday
Good morning all. Hopefully you didn’t wake up to the “oh crap I gotta find the shovel and dig out that igloo where I parked my car last night” feeling. Well, if you’re going to go out and shovel today … at least do it with the knowledge that you’ve read a great blog post…
Read MoreFarewell and Godspeed, Captain Apollo
I remember the original Battlestar Galactica series as if it was on just yesterday. For a kid who grew up with the one-two sci-fi punch of Star Trek and Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica was an entirely different animal for me – I saw the show as a retelling of the Biblical story of Exodus. What…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: Freestylin’ and Profilin’
Freestyle music was a popular dance and club groove that crossed over to pop radio in the mid-1980’s. The super-fast Latin beat, often accentuated with drum machines and sequencers, blended nicely with beautiful and talented vocalists who sang about love and loneliness. So on today’s K-Chuck Radio, I thought some nice bouncy tracks from the…
Read MoreGloat now, Patriots fans…
Yeah, I know, I know. I counted my chickens before they were hatched. I watched the Atlanta Falcons slap the New England Patriots around for three quarters of football. I watched Matt Ryan and Julio Jones and the rest of the team treat Tom Brady like he was Marcia Brady catching a football. #owmynose And…
