Ballston Lake musician transforms home into Pacemaker Audio After touring with Soundgarden and Nine Inch Nails, Shenendehowa grad Tyler Krupsky returned to upstate NY to create a full-service recording studio in his home.

Living the dream.

This is a short clip from my interview w/ Matthew Morrison. It was a nice chat about everything mentioned here & we also talked a bit about fatherhood outside of the formal interview (his son was in the room w/ him, acting a lot like my son does), which was an unexpected, heartwarming bonus.

Britney Spears released after arrest by CHP Authorities say Britney Spears was arrested Wednesday night in Ventura County, California.

There's a Republican president waging a sketchy war in the Middle East and Britney Spears getting arrested is the top story in entertainment news. Time really is a flat circle.

I cracked three teeth pole-vaulting while wearing women's track shoes.

We could all use some news that's a joy to read.

This is the original art from an October 2002 editorial cartoon that former @timesunion.com cartoonist John DeRosier gave me when I helped him bring a bunch of his work home from the newsroom a few months ago. It's pinned to my desk here now. The more things change...

Matthew Morrison talks Broadway, ‘Glee’ before Saratoga show The father of two discusses why now is the right time to return to the Great White Way with “Just In Time.”

Had a really nice chat w/ Matthew Morrison ahead of his stop in Saratoga this week about his new show, returning to Broadway, parenting, and of course, Glee. You can read the full interview at @timesunion.com here:

This is actually pretty accurate.

Troy Foundry, Philly's Die-Cast break down myth of America in new work The choose-your-own-adventure new work plays with what makes Americans American.

Cool new show in Troy: "The work begins in the foyer of Paine Mansion, after which the audience scatters to follow the actors to one of four staging areas. The mansion’s towering wooden pocket doors close and performances ensue before the ritual repeats, mimicking the cyclical nature of history."

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

I've been fortunate to interview Bruce twice, and both conversations were the sort that defy the old "never meet your heroes" adage. Funny, friendly, smart and sincere, Bruce is every bit the person you hope he is. This news sucks.

This is my Patterson-Gimlin film.

I am "I asked a bartender for spare earplugs" years old.

I am currently standing in the back of a club waiting to see a saxophone-playing sasquatch. My job is wonderfully weird sometimes.

"Fingers flutter, flex and curl to convey impossible promises: a song that will conjure spring against growing hunger and poverty. Times are 'dark and getting darker all the time,' the recording of Eurydice sings as Poulin’s hands cover her eyes like a ticking clock." via @katkiessl.bsky.social

A mug depicting KC Green's This Is Fine dog comic, but tragically faded

I've had my This Is Fine mug so long that the dog has become a ghost and all that remain are flames

Coming to a wall near you soon - very soon!

Re-sharing something not terrible and not depressing for our collective mental health...

Movie club made things weird w/ this week's Letterboxd #LastFourWatched. 3 of 4 were club picks under the "Unrequited Love" theme. Most read it as "movies I love but most people don't." My pick, "Beautiful Girls," is a film I love in which unrequited love is a key theme.

State Museum mycologist touts 'queerness of nature' in newest book Nature “show us that life is not only possible but abundant outside of narrow boxes, binaries, and prescriptions.”

"Using 'queerness as a lens,' she detailed the habits of crows, fungi, eels and snails, among others. For instance, crows form same-sex bonds, and glass eels are sexually undetermined for most of their lives."

The rainbow-barfing gnome by which we measure accumulated snow is once again visible, suggesting warmer weather is on the way. Or not. He is a fickle gnome, after all, and a notorious liar.

Not to sound extremely old man yells at cloud, but the internet used to be where you go to read stuff mostly and now I feel like the internet is tv and I don't know how to compete with that or build anything within that. How does one compete with mindlessly scrolling the channels.

17 books with unlikely love stories There was a lot of love in February, and Times Union staffers, bookstore owners, librarians and readers share their favorite love stories — with a twist.

This month's Book Swap newsletter delivers 17 book recommendations from @timesunion.com staffers (incl. me!), guest contributors & readers under the theme of "unlikely love stories." The book I recommend was one of my favorite novels of that year (and in recent years, for that matter).

I don't play basketball, but this photo is all kinds of gorgeous.

I love drone photography. I love Nipper. Win-win.

Yes! 1000% agreed.
