It’s Saturday night and I’ve been battling this nasty cold for a few days now. AH CHOOO Oh man. Sorry about all that sneeze-snot on the inside of your computer monitor. I’ll get it cleaned up. Anyways… so while ingesting some bowls of hot chicken soup, I started experimenting with the laptop computer I bought…

Munchies… It’s the middle of the night and I’ve got a bad case of the munchies. Fridge. Leftovers from Brown’s. Leftovers from Elbo Room. Nah. Cupboard. I could make some quick food, fry up some rice… Nah, too tired to cook. I need something more substantial. I check my wallet. I’ve got a few dollars……
Read MoreIt’s time for the 2012 Big E
Last year, my three entries for the Eastern States Exposition “Big E” photography competition were nearly bounced from the show on a technicality. Apparently my pictures were SUPPOSED to have been matted and mounted, and I thought matting was optional rather than mandatory. The pictures were still entered, and I did pick up a second…
Read More“Last Resort” and other oceanographic TV shows
So I watched the first episode of ABC’s new submarine drama “The Last Resort,” and I gotta tell you it’s a really good show. It’s exciting and well-written, and if it can generate a decent-sized audience, it has the potential to be a top action drama series that could last for years. So for this…
Read MoreOh come on! Not Efke film, too?!?
The other day, I received a nice little paycheck from Getty Images for some of my photos. Not enough for a steak dinner, but enough to buy some 120 film at my favorite little camera store, B&H in New York City. I checked online. B&H is closed on all Jewish holidays and on Shabbot, but…

Read MoreSupport the Boy Scouts! Buy some popcorn!!
Last Sunday, I did some shopping at my local home improvement warehouse. Nothing major, just a few household items, a quick purchase or two, and I’m out the door – Right into a troop of Boy Scouts, who were waiting just outside the exit. “Would you like to buy some popcorn and help the Boy…
Read MoreHoney Boo Boo Style!
How many episodes of that Honey Boo Boo show have I ever watched? Probably less than none. How many times have I followed this “Gangnam Style” music video that has been popping up EVV REE WHERE? Maybe i watched it twice. But what if somebody took clips from the Honey Boo Boo show… and mixed…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: It’s Super-Mash-Up Day!
So here’s the game. On this edition of K-Chuck Radio, I went around the Internet and found a whole slew of “mash-ups” – instances where someone combined two different songs into one sorta seamless melange. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Back in the old days, they used to call this a “Medley” – taking…
Read More“After further review… and further review…”
So it’s been three weeks with the NFL replacement officials. Three weeks where the fans have been screaming over every disputed call, every controversial judgment, every time the play they see differs from the results called by the referees. The replacement refs have been maligned, they’ve been chastised, they’ve been nicknamed things like “scabs” and…
