Technology by Dummies pt.2: Canadian channels

So last time I discussed how I got digital TV using an antenna.

I decided to bring it on campus to see if I could get any Canadian signals (CN tower Toronto FTW!)

Well, after much frustration at the top of the tallest building, I found that the 3rd floor of one of the buildings actually provides the best signal line!


So I got the CBC, with some horses or something.


I got Global Toronto, showing some soap opera or something.


My personal fave is TVO kids playing Thomas the Tank Engine! It took a bit to angle the antenna right, butin the end this TV turned out to be really useful entertainment (pun intended!)

Since Time Warner won't give me my Canadian channels, I'm enjoying the free options!

Tune in next time when I try to outrun Thomas the train! (Ow)

Confirmation Bias (Nice Title, eh?)

Hey y'all, So...October 1st has come and gone, and there's not Summit Park Mall (contrary to what my now WRONG countdown calendar says). To rub it in, the Buffalo News published an article with the hopeful title "Sports domes at Summit in Wheatfield to be erected next year" . The article basically just states what I already knew: nothing's gonna happen this year. ...Well, that's not  entirely  true: Cynthia Potts, who I've emailed before (because I'm nosy) says that they might get some work done for the winter. Maybe my Christmas shopping idea didn't fall on deaf ears! Well I have my fingers crossed, as usual. -Red Hooded Manatee

Chock Full o' Update

Hey folks, So, first off: Twitter! I have one! Follow it! https://twitter.com/radiokorei Next: Summit Mall news! Well, mall news in general. So it seems the Boulevard Mall is up for sale, which is crazy. Weirdly, WKBW focused their live air story (but not their written piece, ugh) on the Summit. So the unofficial construction date is Spring 2017, which is exactly a year behind schedule. I guess any date is better than no date, but geez. Also, Cocov made a new site for his projects! Take a look at Cocov Destinations . It mentions the Summit Sportsplex project, so it's still happening! Cheers! -Red Hooded Manatee
