Last week, myself and others urged Pittsburghers to vote for Pittsburgh to receive Google Fiber coverage before last Friday’s deadline. How’d we do? No one will no for sure till Google makes an official announcement, but they did make a post the other day on the official Google Blog with some...

While I use sauerkraut as a way to describe my Sunday hodge-podge posts, I don’t actually like to eat the stuff. I do however, LOVE to eat kielbasa. In fact, I just had some great kielbasa yesterday, over Mrs. T’s Pirogies. Anyways, on to the good stuff. As I go through...

You know what makes a great ice pack when you’ve just run 18 miles? Frozen Sauerkraut. Unfortunately, I don’t have any frozen sauerkraut. So this episode of your Sunday Twitter Tweets comes with frozen peas on both knees. As I go through the week, I use twitter to send out little...

I have debated on whether or not to put a blogroll (from the English for Blog Honor Roll) on this blog since I decided to relaunch it with its current Pittsburgh/Technology theme. In the past several years my blog has gone from no blogroll to a long, comprehensive one and...
