Yesterday Marissa and I talked about the strike at the Momentive Performance Materials plant in Waterford. We had received a call from the wife of one of the picketers asking for wood for the burn barrels on the picket line, when I thought to myself, "Gosh, this thing has been going on for a really long time...

This time of the year, I love driving around the Capital Region. Watching for the Christmas lights of all different types. We all have a favorite style of light. Do you

This holiday season you may have done more online shopping than usual as the trend becomes bigger each year. But, was your credit card and personal information at risk more than before? It's possible.

An idea popped into my head. An idea that honestly, could have gone horribly wrong because it is true that I am one of the most accident prone people you'll probably ever meet. I've fallen down my stairs at home a handful of times, I've managed to rip a nail off of my pinky finger at work (please remember, I work in radio) along with

Okay, this is getting out of hand. I mean, really. Can we just please get Uber here already?! It seems like every time we turn

When the end of the year gets here, it's hard to look back and remember everything that took place. What made the biggest impact? What was viewed most and why? What happened in Albany? What silliness made our local news?

I was curious. Don't we all get that way every so often. I was curious about the holidays and what people right here in the Capital Region had atop their Christmas list.

I'm sure you or someone you know has purchased something online, whether from Craigslist or a Facebook group and not known who you were going to meet.

I can remember skimming the phone book when I was younger. (I know, what the heck is a phone book, Marissa?!) Looking at all of the names. Finding my family, my Grandparents, my Aunts and Uncles and getting so excited. It was also crazy to me seeing so many of the same last names over and over and over again because, quite honestly, there are maybe just a handful with my own.

My family Christmas tradition usually involves a surprise. See, my Nana is 84-years old and she lives on her own. She's able to get herself around and do most of the normal stuff, just a little slower than she used to. When my cousin and I noticed that she was starting to put less and less out for Christmas, we knew that was a little out of character.

I have a rental car, and my snow brush is in my real car at the shop.... I'm cheap and lazy, so I didn't buy and new one!  I know... lame. But, that's the situation.  I'm telling you this because I feel like you're gonna need yours tomorrow as you get ready for work...

You know how "Metroland" shut it's doors and stopped publishing in January? Well, there's a new paper in town trying to fill the shoes of the 38 year old alternative paper. The Daily Gazette, with Overit Studios and Proctors, invested $400,000 to start an alternative weekly to fill that hole in the market...
