With much anticipation and excitement we arrived at the Glens Falls Civic Center at 2:00PM on Thursday, February 18, 2010. We met Dawn in the office, but she was in the middle of some work so we waited out side the office area, where Charlotte was able to run up and down a wide [...]

This evening we traveled down to Latham, NY to Chuck E Cheese’s for a Pizza and Games party hosted by the Starlight Children’s Foundation.

Tough week for the Phantoms

Toby — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 01:05:10 +0000

Well, the Phantoms lost 7-0 to Binghamton Senators on Thanksgiving Day. Then on Black Friday, they went down 5-1 to Hershey Bears. Hopefully the latter of a back-to-back series with Hershey on Saturday night will show a little more aggression, some better fore-checking, and seeing the guys move towards the attacker with puck.

Google Navigation FAIL

So today, Google delighted all the Android 1.6 “Donut” users by releasing the Google Maps with Navigation app. Of course, this was downloaded immediately onto the phone. This evening at home, while playing with the app, I requested directions from my current location to “home” and what you see in the below image is what [...]

I have Ubuntu 8.04 (yes, I know it’s an older distro) installed, and I’m installing the VirtualBox Guest Additions right now to give [...]

After the game last night, my Dad and I descended into the depths of the Glens Falls Civic Center, and stood in line with a myriad of other fans in order to get the guys to sign some autographs. I had my jersey signed by them all. Very cool! A number of the guys commented on how [...]

So far in the earlier two games, Adirondack has prevailed in both games. As soon as the puck dropped, ADK #16 Patrick [...]
