Steelers in the playoffs
Ben Roethlisberger couldn't throw. Antonio Brown couldn't stand without help. And in the end, it didn't matter. The Pittsburgh Steelers are heading to Denver after the Cincinnati Bengals did what they always seem to do this time of year: they imploded. Spectacularly. Chris Boswell kicked a 35-yard field goal with 14 seconds remaining as Pittsburgh somehow pulled out an 18-16 victory in an -- really, just pick whatever synonym for "ugly" that works -- AFC wild-card game Saturday night. Pittsburgh...Click for full post

Xbox One
The Dell Xbox One deal lasted for less than 3 seconds. I was refreshing the page from 5:55 p.m. until the deal was activated. I clicked on the link which send me to the disappointing page about being out of stock (if it ever was in stock). So, I got a very similar deal from the Microsoft store. I got the Xbox One Gears of War 500gb version with a free game and $60 Microsoft store credit (which I can...Click for full post

Reattaching the cord
Well, it has been almost a year and a half since I cut the cord and joined the antennae/Netflix generation. Netflix is amazing. I watched 100's of episodes of all different types of shows. All without commercials. It is quite a deal for $7.95/month. Also, local TV stations with the antennae were sharp, clear, and not to mention completely free. However, my DSL through Windstream was becoming antiquated and well...slow. $70/month (with tax) for 6Mb/sec was a horrible value. It was time...Click for full post
