    Bill Fitch has passed away

    Fitch passed away yesterday at the age of 89. I posted this elsewhere but figured given his career and Celtics connection the guy deserves his own thread. A rather nomadic coaching career which is nicely summarized here. With a lot of help from Larry he brought a championship to the Celtics...

    Thousand points of light. Anyone ever deal with LED reflector issue on an LG TV?

A bit of Googling and then You Tube has led me to believe the LED light reflectors have come unglued...

    Where's that video? MLB's new Multimedia search

    Saw a tweet from Gordon Edes about MLB's new video search tool. You want to find Nomar videos? Search for him. Are you really enamored by catcher's interference? Good news, there are 102 videos of that. The videos have a lot of recency bias (the play specific feature is only from 2018 onward)...

    Eck signs deal w/NESN to do 85 games per year.

    I didn’t want to resurrect a long dormant NESN broadcast thread and didn’t see this anywhere. Sounds like he’s happy, it allows Remy to take on a smaller role assuming he’s coming back and it leaves less possible games for Lyons. Eck: I'm excited to announce my expanded role with @nesn. I...

There are successes but there are also unfortunately still too...

    Help me outfit my new room.

    We’re currently doing some home renovations that will be opening up a 13’x24’ space for a TV room. I am starting from scratch since I will be leaving my current TV and ancient receiver/speakers in the family room that my kids took over a while ago through some manifest destiny move. The current...
