New TV!

I bought a nice flat screen that I can hook my computer up to as a second monitor in order to watch Pittsburgh sports through my Slingbox. Isn't technology a wonderful thing?I can use the computer and watch TV at the same time with the dual monitor set up, it's really slick. The sound even comes from the TV and not the computer. I'll have to get a better TV stand, but buying the 32" TV in Russia was splurge enough for this month.


If you aren't aware of what Slingbox is I zoomed in on the TV so you can see what it looks like. I have the same Comcast remote from home that I use on the monitor. There's hardware attached to a cable box at my parent's house in Pittsburgh, and it broadcasts through an internet connection there that I can log into remotely from anywhere in the world with an internet connection and the Slingbox software on the computer, blackberry, or cellphone. Without this I never would have been able to leave Pittsburgh. I can be a yinzer anywhere now.
