I'm glad I didn't wake up for it. It was too early for me to watch.

I'm still wondering how they made it though... I'd like to see a video of it.

Don't worry! Knowing TWC they probably made a 30min special of it to air sometime.

:thrilled: Look what I found!!!!

http://www.goelvis.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/weather-report.jpg

What in particular are you pointing out?  :unsure:

The picture is a capture of his STAR by someone else and yeah I dont see why its a big deal :unsure:


Well, after everybody made me feel bad  :hmm:


This was exciting for me because of 2 things:

1. I became a TWC fan while the IntelliSTAR v3 was in service. I had found a snapshot of Memphis' v2 once before, but it was very low quality. And there are no videos of Memphis' v2 on YouTube, just the v1.

2. This was taken on the day of Elvis' candlelight vigil. (someone posted on an Elvis rememberance site to show how hot it was during the vigil.)

Also, this was probably taken around the August 2007 heatwave as Memphis did reach highs of around 106-108 all week long.

On a related note, I find this interesting. First time I saw this channel "behind the scenes" from the Comcast headend here. Spot the channel. :D

You didn't know that? Yeah, Jim does have 2 kids with special needs. I saw video of him doing a public service announcement just a couple of weeks ago. It's pretty old, idk how old it is.
