Hughesnet gone, the crowd rejoices
Our long national nightmare is over. Today I finally got to cancel my Hughesnet satellite internet service. My time dealing with the world’s most incredible scam is at an end. Thank God almighty. Now, before you think I am venturing a bit into the well-worn realm of tin-hat hyperbole, let’s look around the internet and see what [...]

Andy Henry Photo: Of Dunes and Deer
There is a new post up at Andy Henry Photo showing the deer at Headlands beach.
Clever Coffee Dripper
For the past few months I have been going through coffee brewing items. For years I have brewed about 50 ounces of coffee in a press-pot for my morning consumption. Then I started to read of a few studies that said that unfiltered coffee can raise your cholesterol levels. I don’t need that. So I [...]
Andy Henry Photo: Fingerlakes Part 2
There is a new post up at AndyHenryPhoto.com with more photos from the Fingerlakes trip.
Cleveland can be, at times, a nice place to visit.
Note: This post, and all of my other photography posts, will now be hosted at andyhenryphoto.com I was afforded some free time on New Year’s Eve so I took a little walk around the University Circle area. Starting at the Cleveland Museum of Art is always preferred whenever I have anything creative to attempt (my [...]
Photos: Christmas Dinner Drive
Instead of annoying each other with the obligatory presents at Christmas, every year a group of us head out on a night of drunken bacchanalia. This year was wonderful. We started at the Velvet Tango Room, a true “grown-up” bar that we had been meaning to include previously but failed. We will be back. It is nice [...]
Cleveland Ingenuity Festival 2010
Cleveland has a very intersting gathering every year called the Ingenuity Festival. This year it was held on the Detroit-Superior bridge’s lower level. This level was once used for passenger train transport and has lain dorment since that closed up. It is an incredible space that spans the Cuyahoga river, giving beautiful views of the downtown [...]
The Judge
This page is now hosted on my photo site, andyhenryphoto.com. The Geauga County Fair is an incredible piece of Americana. Due to its location near the pseudo-civilization of Cleveland, it can have its modern influence. However, much of it is a world away from that environment and still strongly shows its old ties to the land. [...]
The Colors and the Storm
This page is now hosted on my photo site, andyhenryphoto.com. I was given a neat sky to work with the fall colors. A storm had passed through just before me so I stopped at a few spots on my drive home for some snaps.
Ask the Crank: Historical Figure
In this episode, we take questions from the viewing public and pose them to the Crank. This week’s question comes from the fertile mind of Little Johnny of Fairfield, Wisconsin. If you could talk to any historical person for advice, who would it be and why? What an ineffably inane question this is. The publisher asks me [...]
Early Fashion Maven Gains New Understanding
Hobart, Tasmania – Recent scholarship has unearthed the letters and early photographs of early Australian fashionista Bill Thompson. These new findings have turned on its head the normally heald concept that Tasmania in the nineteenth century was peopled only by the island’s famous devils and the scheming ancestors of Marvin Hamlish. Thompson plied his trade [...]
Machinery Making Modern Music
This page is now hosted on my photo site, andyhenryphoto.com. Friday and Saturday of this week saw the Mid-West Band Organ Rally at the Lake County History Center. This is the first time I have visited the center since its controversial move from Kirtland Hills. It was a very nice day to do a quick [...]
Crank Rant: The Burgeoning Sandra Lee Menace
Those of you following along at home may remember my warnings concerning the dangers of the demon Paula Deen. Unfortunately, it appears her evil power grows unabated with successful book signings and myriad television specials. America may very well be doomed, doomed to her particular brand of thinly veiled child eating. May God pray for [...]
Walt: The Other New Knee
Update: This was written just before we found that Walt’s new knee was all screwed up. So much for the nicey-nice words below. One day, this time when we are well and truly through this, I will write about it. Think of it as the worlds most boring cliff-hanger. The time has come, the surgeon [...]
Photos: Working Dog Weekend
This weekend is the Working Dog Weekend at the Lake Metroparks Farmpark in Kirtland. Every year, normally on a rainy June weekend, people come from the area to show what they do with their dogs. While all of the exhibits are fun, only a couple really showcase “working” dogs. Dogs leaping off of the backs [...]
Photos: Zoo Portraits
This page is now hosted on my photo site, andyhenryphoto.com. I was on vacation once… it seems a million years ago but it was a mere two weeks. Anyway, we went to the zoo. And I have a new nifty long lens. And all the animals wanted to pose. I’m sure there was a memo. [...]
Photos: Pups at Speed!
These photos were taken a couple weeks ago before The Walter’s latest knee surgery. Many sticks were thrown (and not brought back for what being in its right mind brings a stick back to a stick thrower) and running was had that day, I tell you.
Beef w/ The Dead: Dennis Hopper
In this installment, we find Andy showing incredibly bad taste by picking out something he didn’t like about the recently deceased.
Photos: Crashing at the SCCA Regional
This page is now hosted on my photo site, andyhenryphoto.com. Auto racing is a dangerous sport. Driving quickly around slithering tracks with aggressive compatriots can be a recipe for crunching of bodywork. The following photos are of an oops. Three cars were bunched up, lap after lap. Then they came upon a slower car. The [...]
Photos: Passing at the SCCA @ Nelson Ledges
See some pics of fun passes at the SCCA Regional Races at Nelson Ledges.
Photos: Meet the Kitten
Meet our littlest cat, Otto. He is a Japanese Bobtail, muscular and quick, and certifiably insane. Over the three years we have had him he has gotten a bit better but he still is not what one would call gregarious. The woman acquired him while she was working at Penitentiary Glen. The Wildlife Center there tends to [...]
