Regios de Acero and more

So this has been circulating and I thought I’d post a link to this video of Steeler fans all over the world.

I’m a sap – it brought tears to my eyes. The creator of the video is looking for more photos of folks with Steeler regalia in far-flung corners of the world, so please click on the link and send your photo … if you are reading from Kazakhstan, Senegal, et al. (Note to self: take Terrible Towel on all future extreme vacations.)

Also, check out Ambrose’s blog for some amazing local coverage of Steeler mania!

PennDOT Traffic Cameras

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) District 11 services Allegheny, Lawrence and Beaver Counties. They have a web site that displays all the live traffic cameras in the District. They have cameras perched high above Parkways East, North, and West, and even some tunnels, bridges and Route 51.

[If you wanna see all the beautiful highways around Pittsburgh all lined up in a row – LIVE! – click here. For traffic addicts only.]

It’s helpful for checking out the traffic before your drive home — or, in the case of tomorrow’s Superbowl, making sure you can drive home.

There’s another cool service offered by PennDOT called the Road Weather Information System (RWIS) – these cameras are all around District 11 and monitor weather conditions on the roads. Click here for the RWIS link.

In London?

If you’re in London for the Superbowl, you can join other fans here to watch the game:

Famous Three Kings
171-173 North End Road
London W14 9NL
£15 cover!

Of course, the game starts at 21:30 (ahem, 9:30pm) on Sunday. Unfortunately, I cannot promise that we won’t spoil the ending for you.

This is thanks to Gordon Dedman at Steelers UK for the PGH love.

Ben’s Beard

Look’s like it’s gonna be Steelers 24/7 on the site. until Feb. 6! I’d like to think that IheartPGH.com had something to do with building all this positive Pittsburgh energy and taking our boys to the Superbowl. 😉

Check out this website made by some University of Pittsburgh students:


http://www.bensbeard.com/

From the site:

“This website exists to show our undying support to Ben Roethlisberger and his mighty beard. Though at first we may have had our doubts, the beard has proven itself throughout the season, and we hereby recognize its ultimate power. As a sign of our support for Big Ben, his beard, and the Pittsburgh Steelers, we, the undersigned, pledge to lay down our razors and not shave our beards until Big Ben shaves his. “

Amazingly enough, over 2700 people have signed the pledge since Sunday.
