Inspired by Jeff Kramer’s unmatchable selection of “Best Of” items not on the official Best of Syracuse list this week (The Connective Corridor being my favorite – #LOL), here are a few technological Syracusan things that I’ve thrown together in some semblance of a tongue-in-cheek way.

Love the Baywatch one, the Walking Dead, and – of course – Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Most Technologically Advanced Syracusan for Their Age
That is a tie between my son and my Dad.
My 20 month-old son has mastered the art of calling people on my iPhone I don’t normally get to talk to.
My father texts. And was born in 1946.
