September 11, 2001

A day that changed a large chunk of our every day lives. As a nation, it was a tragic event that caused many changes to military, architecture, travel, and just every day of many people's lives. For a small section of others, it meant way more than we could ever imagine. Loss of family, friends, acquaintances, co-workers, neighbors, the list goes on and on. Approximately 2977 people lost their lives that day, including 2,606 inside the World Trade Center, 125 inside the Pentagon, 87 passengers aboard American flight 11, 60 passengers aboard United flight 175, 59 passengers aboard American flight 77 and 40 aboard United flight 93. I cannot imagine how crushing of a feeling it was to turn on the TV, see the various news outlets reporting all the different incidents, and waiting for hours, days, weeks, hoping their family member would come marching through that door, maybe worn out, injured, but alive. For the families of those 2977 people, that day never came.

MLB.tv on the PS3

If you are like me and like baseball, but can't bring yourself to watching the disaster that is the Astros, there is an option out there until football season starts. Available on the PS3 is a MLB.tv application. Simply put, it is a service that allows you to see any out of market baseball game in stunning HD, similiar to MLB Extra Innings. You can not only look at live games, you can look at any re-play game in the entire season. You can also fast forward and rewind when looking at a game that has already been played. Really impressive tech. When you sign up, you can watch the games on a variety of devices besides the PS3, including your PC, iPad or Roku box. The service will be available on the Xbox 360 after the All-Star break. Below is a video demostrating the service.
