Closed and Opened again: A Swimming Pool's Tale
IA
I always wanted to have a pool, but I thought it was out of my price range. Once I realized I could do it for an affordable price, I set out to make it happen. Little did I know at the time, just how much maintenance and research I would have to do just to keep it functioning properly. This is the story of a little swimming pool and my adventures in the making it a reality.
Everything is so Green!
IA
Welcome to NH in the spring! The green I am referring to is not the wonderful grass and leaves that we see, but the green tree pollen of doom! So many of us are affected in some way by the tiny pellets of destruction that it requires some form of OTC medication for us just to be able to function, especially in the summer months that we've waited all winter for.
What's in a Word? ZIP
IA
We use it all the time. We write the address on the outside of a letter or package, put it in the mail and it just gets to where it needs to be(most times). But what is the Zip code? What is it's purpose and how did it come to be? Well in today's episode I'll discuss just that.
Scam mode unlocked!
IA
Video games have evolved from chessboards to pinball games, Atari to playstation and the ever popular phone apps. But what used to be a simple pay to play system, whether it's putting a quarter into a machine or buying a cartridge/disc, is now more about how much money can these gaming companies get out of you. The latest "scam" is that if you play a game, they'll give you free money. But what is it that they're really giving you or rather... taking from you?
Through the biographical lens
IA
Movie biopics are all the rage today, but they've been around for quite some time. In this episode I'll let you in on a bunch of my personal favorites and the near future of the Biopic movie.
(Is it) Better to burn out, than to fade away?
IA
Rock and roll may never die, but the way musicians are, you have to ask the question of what it is that drives them to their deaths. This episode I bring to light questions that we all face when we get older and why does it seem that the famous personalities keep going long after retirement age.
Memorial Day 2026
IA
So much can be said about this holiday. In my first official episode related to the subject, I'll talk about my earliest experiences with the Memorial Day Holiday as well as my most memorable.
The (Un)Written rules of the road Pt.2
IA
More of what I consider the unwritten rules of the road, or are they actually in writing somewhere?
Is it football season yet?
Esplicito
IA
We were told the Patriots, Celtics and Bruins would all be rebuilding.. yet they surpassed all expectations! Each made the playoffs and each dropped the ball and our spirits.. and let's not even talk about the Red Sox, because it's shaping up to be a very long and painful Boston sports summer.
The (Un)Written rules of the road Pt. 1
Esplicito
IA
We have rules. We have laws. We also have expectations, or the unwritten rules about driving. Every day I'm out there, I see more and more people who seemingly do not care about how they are driving and my concern about this is the potential for disaster.
