The moment we rallied

Twenty-five years ago today ... in the early morning hours of a previously nondescript Tuesday ... we were attacked. A team of terrorists hijacked four commercial planes and flew them into highly-populated areas. Thousands of innocent men and women died that day. Twenty-five years ago. We remember the friends and family members who perished at the Pentagon. We remember those who lost their lives in the two World Trade Center buildings....

K-Chuck Radio: Music for a Pittsburgh Steelers fan

The Pittsburgh Steelers will commence their march to Super Bowl 61 this Sunday at 1:00 p.m., when they clobber the Atlanta Falcons at Acrisure Stadium. This should be good. Especially since Atlanta is starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (oh wait, isn't that "Tua Turn the ball over"?). Yeah, I'm ready for this. And when I say "ready for this," understand that there are actually songs and music that are essential for any Pittsburgh Steelers fan....

The Postcard

Right now, a print of my slitscan photo The Three-Two Pitch is hanging at the Manifest Gallery in Cincinnati, as part of an upcoming show called THE SWEEP OF TIME. Specifically - this photo. The Three-Two Pitch Nikon EM camera, Nikkor 50-300 f/4.5 lens, Kodak Gold 400 film. Photo (c) Chuck Miller, all rights reserved. I'm truly thankful that this image made the cut and will appear in this gallery show....

The “Ganef the Squirrel” Latch Hook Project, Part 2

Okay. Here's a quick recap. I photographed a squirrel who had just stolen a bird feeder suet cake and was eating like it was a buffet option at Golden Corral. This was the picture I used for the latch hook rug. And the last time I blogged about this project, my latch hook rug was at this current level of completion....

Horse power meets horsepower

To the uninitiated, harness racing is a very simple sport. Horses follow a rolling starting gate, they go at a specific pace or trot around the track, and one mile later someone wins. So if I'm writing about a specific harness race from a specific track, and it doesn't involve Saratoga Harness or any horse that I currently know, then there's a specific reason....

Results from the 47th annual Capital District Photo Regionals

The Photo Regionals is the be-all and end-all of the local photography community. Photographers within a 100-mile radius of Albany can submit their best works for the show, but only a few winners get their completed artworks on the gallery wall. Not every Capital District Photo Regionals show is the same; sometimes the Photo Regionals are already selected from a pool of artists; other times the Photo Regionals are set up as a salon first, then whittled down to the select few chosen....

The Saturday Blogroll Recap, September 5 2026

Good morning, my wonderful blog readers. It's so nice to have you around. I hope you're appreciating this Labor Day weekend, and understand that the holiday exists to support the international workers of the world, the union men and union women who built your cars, delivered your goods, and stitched your clothing. In fact ... Before we start ... let us sing the national anthem of the union worker....

Preservation

Some time ago, I blogged about how I planned on donating my Albany Patroons game-worn jersey collection to the Albany Institute of History and Art, which they appreciated - but they said that they would really only need one jersey, not the entire set. So last week, I brought the 2005-2007 Patroons jersey that was worn during the 2006-07 season by future NBA star Jamario Moon....

The Glare

This happened last week during my trivia hosting stint. As I set up my equipment for the weekly trivia contest, a young couple arrived. They ordered food from a server, and picked up one of the trivia scoring booklets for the game. This was at ten minutes to 6:00. A little early, but I can work with it. I'm still setting everything up....

Wait a second, SCTV is now on Netflix?

There are very few sketch comedy shows out there that will make me burst out in belly laughs. Besides an occasional Saturday Night Live, there was also In Living Color and Fridays and Mad TV, all three of which I considered viable viewing alternatives to SNL. Maybe The Kids in the Hall, but that was more of an acquired taste....
