Tuesday, October 20, 2009    0 Comments



This is super, super cool. If you're at the Igloo (Mellon Arena, Pittsburgh) taking in a Pens game, check this out!

The Pittsburgh Penguins and Carnegie Mellon University have teamed up to provide a first-of-its-kind fan experience at Mellon Arena.

Yinz Cam allows fans at the game to experience live video from unique camera angles throughout the arena by using your WI-FI enabled mobile phone or MP3 device. Examples include Bench-Cam, Penalty Box-Cam, Overhead Cam and Tight-Action Cam.

On-demand replays of goals and fights are available. Fans can also "rewind" live video to immediately watch a great play again.

Pennsylvania State of Champions

Tuesday, July 7, 2009    0 Comments


The city of Pittsburgh has reclaimed its reign as the "City of Champions" with the Steelers' Super Bowl XLIII title and Penguins' Stanley Cup victory just months removed from each other. But if you include the defending World Series Champion Philadelphia Phillies, the state of Pennsylvania could probably adopt the moniker "State of Champions."

In an unprecedented event, all three championship trophies - the Stanley Cup, the Lombardi Trophy and the World Series Trophy - were all on hand in Harrisburg Tuesday afternoon to commemorate the outstanding achievements of Pennsylvania's professional sports teams.

The three reigning championship teams brought their respective trophies to Harrisburg for the festivities. The trophies made their way to Governor Ed Rendell's office (photo taken from the Governor's Reception Room). Later, the championship trophies made an appearance at the Capitol Rotunda, which is where important ceremonial events take place.

The event was an opportunity to recognize a very unique situation in which with three current professional championship teams all hail from the same state.

A Glimpse of Awesome on 128 in Boston

Wednesday, July 1, 2009    2 Comments

My wife was in really slow moving traffic on 128 tonight heading up to Winchester, MA. She sent me this picture from her Blackberry. That's right, a little bit of awesomeness all the way from the City of Champions right here. Sweet.

I'll be traveling near there this summer, so I'll be visiting Primanti Bros, Heinz Field to see the Magnificent Six, probably the zoo and of course the new rink being built for the Penguins.
