    Plattsburgh Edges Middlebury 3-2 in OT Thriller

    2010.03.13 Plattsburgh Faces Middlebury in NCAA Quarterfinal MatchupThere was no doubt tonight's NCAA quarterfinal matchup between Middlebury and Plattsburgh State was going to be intense. 

    On paper, this would presumably be a dead heat.  Both teams had nearly identical overall season records heading into tonight's game (Middlebury was 19-4-4 and Plattsburgh was 18-5-4). In their respective conferences, Middlebury defeated Bowdoin for the NESCAC (New England Small College Athletic Conference) Championship while Plattsburgh wound up second best in the SUNYAC (State University of New York Athletic Conference) after succumbing to a grueling Oswego assault.

    2010.03.06 Plattsburgh State falls to Oswego in SUNYAC ChampionshipIn the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC), it is safe to say the Plattsburgh/Oswego rivalry is one of the most hotly contested battles. With the conference title on the line, both teams were looking to bring their best performance to the ice. 

    Of the two, Oswego was prepared and ready to do battle. Plattsburgh, on the other hand, was in for a rough night.

    Plattsburgh Advances to SUNYAC Championship with 5-2 Win Over Brockport

    2010.02.27 SUNYAC Semifinal - Plattsburgh vs BrockportWith the regular season over with, the Plattsburgh State Cardinals were looking to continue their post season run to earn a shot at the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) championship. Brockport had a fighting chance against Plattsburgh tonight. However, if history was any indication it would be Plattsburgh's game to lose. 

    Brockport was ready for action - with highly regarded senior goaltender Todd Sheridan in net. Some regard him as one of the finest goaltenders in the conference. Some say he is a force to be reckoned with. Yes, perhaps he is one of the finer goaltenders in the conference. Big deal. I say there is only one word to describe Sheridan in net...

    Will Google Buzz be a contender in the social media arena?Admittedly, it is with some trepidation that I slide into the world of Google Buzz. Why? I don't really know. At the moment, I have a pretty full social networking arsenal at my disposal. I have a LinkedIn account which I am looking at breathing new life into. I use Facebook and Twitter religiously. And lastly, I have my own personal space courtesy of this blog.

    The last thing I want to do is join another social networking space...but I'm willing to make an exception here.

    Stop Governor Paterson From Closing Point Au Roche & Macomb State Park

    Updated on Friday, February 19, 2010 at 7:54PM by Registered CommenterRob Brennan

    New York State Governor David PatersonOne of my favorite things to do in the summer is enjoy the beautiful scenery in Upstate New York. Whether you are enjoying an outdoor BBQ among the lush trees, going for a short walk on the trails, spending some time on the beach, or simply enjoying a game of horseshoes - there is something for everyone at our state parks.

    One of my favorite parks to visit is Macomb State Park - a park that just so happens to be on Governor Paterson's list of ones that are proposed to be shut down (which includes the closure of 41 parks and 14 historic sites, and service reductions at 23 parks and 1 historic site) courtesy of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation (OPRHP), Governor David Paterson, and Commissioner Carol Ash.

    Plattsburgh Shuts Down Fredonia in Solid 4-1 Victory

    2010.02.13 - Plattsburgh battles Fredonia in final regular season gameTonight's game demonstrated why the Plattsburgh State Cardinals are one of the top teams in NCAA Division III men's ice hockey. 

    First, I have to give Cardinal goaltender Josh Leis some serious props for tonight's performance.  In addition to providing rock solid goaltending all night long, he kept the Blue Devils at bay with several huge saves. Leis delivered when he was called upon; confidently stopping and controlling shots throughout the night.

    This confidence seemed to permeate throughout the entire team.

    Plattsburgh Sends Buffalo State Home With 4-2 Loss


    2010.02.12 Plattsburgh squares off against Buffalo StateTonight's NCAA Division III matchup between Plattsburgh State and Buffalo State had all the makings of a very physical and demanding battle. With Buffalo State averaging eighteen (18) minutes or so in the penalty box per game - and the recent disqualification from post-season play - all indications were that the 6-15-1 Bengals would be out for blood.

    Plattsburgh Defeats Morrisville 4-1

    Updated on Sunday, February 7, 2010 at 3:48PM by Registered CommenterRob Brennan


    2010.02.06 Plattsburgh and Morrisville face-off at the StaffordIf anything can be said about tonight's matchup between the Plattsburgh State Cardinals and Morrisville Mustangs, it would be thank goodness it's over. To add insult to injury, Plattsburgh's scorekeeping woes continued - with the new scoreboards darkened and the goal judges relegated to waving third-rate red flags.

    Anyway, back to the game. First, let me recant something I said earlier in the season. Prior to tonight, I viewed Morrisville as a team that played a physical game but could be quite a surprise when it counted most. I take that back.

    Five Suggested Resources for the Aspiring iPhone Developer

    I am impressed at how much fun it is to develop and tinker with apps for the iPhone.  With the recent announcement of the iPad - and the millions of iPhone and iPod Touch devices that are out there - there is no better time than now to just jump right in and see where the road may lead you.

    One of the questions I am asked constantly is, "How can I get started in iPhone development?"

    The iPad: A Few Steps Forward Or A Few Steps Back?

     

    2010.01.27 - Steve Jobs Introduces the Apple iPad

    For many of the Apple devout, the official announcement of the new Apple iPad is a moment which will live in infamy (sorry President Roosevelt; I couldn't resist the reference). Over the past week, we have seen the tech pundits weigh in on their impressions of the new device, as well as the general public who seems utterly befuddled.

    What is the iPad, exactly? As Steve prepared to unleash and share his latest creation with us, I waited with great anticipation. I reflected back upon the original iPhone announcement - where I was practically foaming at the mouth and wanting to write a check immediately to the Church of Apple and AT&T to get my hot little hands on one.

    It didn't take long for the Cards to find their groove.
