Comcast’s Center Ice
I got a great feelling about the Comcast center ice. It I am right now watching The MTL vs NYR. So far it is a good passing game. This is going to be a good season.
Coyotes vs Canucks Game
I just finished watching the Coyotes vs Canucks Game. A very good game the final score was Coyotes 2 and Canucks 3. The Coyotes were down by 2 at the end, when they pulled their goalie out. I never thought that it would work, but they were on a power play so they had 6[…]
A victory for all/BPL is dead in SWPA
The ARRL is reporting that the BPL test in the SWPA area is going to be stoped. They are citing the high cost of a full-scale BPL rollout and competition from cable and DSL service. This is good news, because BPL causes interference for both FEMA and Ham Radio. This is a great victory for[…]

The first hockey game is over
Score Penguins 1, Devils 5. I will have to say that the Devils Goalie is good, keep an eye on him. And Mario, you should not be on the ice, you were a great player, but you have slowed with age, you have no business on the ice, you are hurting the team, you would[…]
It is between the first and second periods: Penguins vs Devils
Score is Penguins 0 and Devils 2. It is a good game, as much as pains me to say this, the Devils are playing (at this time) better then the Penguins. The first score of the game was made by the Devils #18 (Sergei Brylin) was a great back handed goal. There was a good[…]

The NHC is right now tracking a posable Tropic Depersion just south of the Gulf of Mexico, The same Gulf that powered up both Katrina and Rita. Could we be looking at another Hurricane and this one would have the name Vince.

NHL
I am looking forward to the hockey season this year. I will admit hockey is the only sport I like. Maybe it is partly due to the fact it was the only sport I played as a kid. Comcast has a hockey package, when I saw that I could not resist, I signed up for[…]
