I like to watch’em fight (Linesville Spillway)

Another great depiction of Western PA to the rest of the world on NPR. Not sure where they got the second highest tourist attraction in PA though Presque Isle easily tops that.

Matt Millen Erie Connection?

Did anybody hear the Football Today Podcast on Oct. 9th?  Jeremy Green was talking with Bill Williamson about the Raiders.  When they got to the subject of possibly hiring a general manager, Matt Millen’s name came up and Jeremy Green said quote. Its a long flight from Oakland back to Erie, Pennsylvania So my question [...]

Officially an Erie-ite

I am now officially an Erie-ite. Once I get settled in a week or so I will update to 2.6 and begin updating Category-Visibility. Goal is to have a new version out mid to late August.  Have already been playing with 2.6 on a few other sites and like what I have seen. Also, keep [...]

Technology Fair & Student Showcase

If you get the chance today take a trip up to the Tom Ridge Center at Presque Isle. Northwest Pennsylvania Association of Educational Communications and Technology (NPAECT) is holding its 14th Annual Technology Fair and Student Showcase from 3:00 to 7:00 pm. The Technology Fair and Student Showcase is a celebration of the wonderful technology [...]

Beer with the Bishop

I am currently sitting at Barnes & Noble’s. I was just at Theology On Tap at Brewerie. This is a four part series put on by the Erie Diocese aimed toward young adults. I was pleasently surprised. The turn out, while not huge, filled the room that they reserved which leads me to believe was [...]

ETN ePaper sucks ass

I ask you does Erie Times-News not understand that the internet is a different medium than paper? I just checked out the electronic paper because I am tired of the piles of newspapers on my dining room table. That is the worst designed piece of crap I have ever seen; I use to think the [...]

Update throughout March the King has been pushing for other middle east countries to move toward peace, meeting with Talabani, Lebanese Prime [...]

Two Week Hodge Podge

In the middle the annual horse shoe Tournament at Calfin’s Restaurant (Lavery’s Corner, Rt 98 & 6N). Thats right horse shoe tournament in the [...]

GoErie finally produces something to go to

After years stuffing as many ads and partial article as possible and numerous dead links on their web site, it seems that Erie Times-News finally understands how to create a usable web site and the importance of good design. Not only this but they are also embracing new media with blogs, discussion boards, podcasts, and [...]

Froggie gets slain by BOB

I am so pissed off right now. I got in the car to drive home today and instead of sticking in my iPod I decided to turn on Froggie 94.7 and to my dismay I hear “Do Do you love me straight now baby are you gonna love me forever” I change the station turned [...]
