    A friend of mine (and fellow blogger) is preparing to launch a really innovative and exciting website that will be focused on politics.  He wants to start it up in Pittsburgh and a few other cities around the burgh (I’ll keep you posted as features become available).  While he’s a...

    The Heinz Endowments, specifically the Innovation Economy Program, recently commissioned a report on Growing Pennsylvania’s High-Tech Economy.  It took me a while to make it through the whole report (I don’t have tons of free time), but I wanted to share some of it and comment on it briefly.  I’ll...

    / February 14, 2010 / Leave a comment
    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...
  5. On a Blogroll for the Blog of Burgher Jon

    Posted by Burgher Jon
    / February 13, 2010 / 2 Comments
    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...

    D&D on the Microsoft Surface from CrunchGear on Vimeo. Congratulations to the Surface Scapes Team at Carnegie Mellon on their mention on TechCrunch today.  For those of you unfamiliar with the technology scene, TechCrunch is one of THE technology publications.  The CMU team built an absolutely AMAZING version of Dungeons...
  7. Sunday Sauerkraut: Fail Whale Edition!

    / February 7, 2010 / Leave a comment
    I had to wait until after the Super Bowl to get this post in.  Turns out people like to tweet about Football (and commercials).  Anyway, without further adieu, your Sunday Kraut: As I go through the week, I use twitter to send out little updates and links.  I realize that I...
  8. Saturday Musings: The Snow from Charlotte

    Posted by Burgher Jon
    / February 6, 2010 / 1 Comment
    I’m in Charlotte, so there isn’t 12 inches of snow on the ground.  In fact, I’m getting ready to go for a run.  In the cold, but well over freezing morning.  However, since I am fairly “plugged in” to the Pittsburgh media I have seen lots of news/blogs/tweets I thought...
  9. Who Are Pittsburgh’s Icons in this Era? (Part 1)

    Posted by Burgher Jon
    / February 2, 2010 / 1 Comment
    Mike Madison posted a few days ago on iconic Pittsburghers.  He borrowed the theme from the Post-Gazette article.  According to the Post-Gazette to be an iconic Pittsburgher you must be, “known by everyone, from the city to the suburbs. They often have quirky personality traits that border on the eccentric,...

    / January 31, 2010 / Leave a comment
    As I go through the week, I use twitter to send out little updates and links.  I realize that I do this quite a bit and that not all of you have Twitter, so with that in mind I’d like to take Sunday to do sort of a week in review.  I’ve...
