Anyone notice that the forecast boxes are TOO transparent on the IntelliStar? IIRC, the transparency was as dark as the box for the city name and time above the Forecast boxes.

Was the camera taken upside-down? I've never seen an IntelliStar error like that before! 

OMG! I guess my iPad screwed up the picture...  Well, this is embarrassing!
EDIT: Actually, if you click on the picture, it will flip the picture correctly.

Remember Chris Hoitsma who was laid off back in 2008? Apparently he's back, but now as a local product manager!

Good morning, Mike.

There is a problem related to the computer unit we provide to Comcast Cable to deliver your local weather for Audubon, New Jersey. A replacement computer unit is on its way...it was ordered on Saturday evening (7/26/2014). Please allow a few days for delivery of the computer and installation by Comcast Cable, and local weather for Audubon and south Jersey will return.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Impossible! Chris Hoitsma would never go into such details!

I just noticed that the days of the week in the 7 Day Forecast are no longer capitalized in the IS2 and it's LDL.

Same with I2jr

I found one of the unknown songs from last spring.

This is "All We Need" by a local Jersey artist, City Acres and you can listen to the full song here:

The IS2 reverted to capitalizing the days of the week in the 7 Day Forecast

I remember it. I thought it was a Storm Alert theme from Hurricane Isaac at the time where I was. Good song.

Yes! It's from the movie "The Island" it plays at the end before the credits.

Quite frankly I'd rather hear beautiful music like that rather than the two repetitive songs

This looks to be the best background instead of using 130 repetitive ones.

I have to admit - it's nice and peaceful. 

[WeatherSTARIII]

Is that from the IS or IS2Jr.?

Looks like he used the graphics from a recorded clip of my areas I2jr
