TWC has been featuring some interesting summer gadgets today! My favorites are the two I just saw a few minutes ago: Solar Powered Backpack, and a USB Powered Fan!  :blink:
I have a USB powered fan. It's not as strong as a fan you'd plug in an outlet but it works pretty good.

Wow, I never seen a traffic report that explained injuries! And we've had plenty of those kinds of accidents here for sure. Usually when there's accidents involving injuries and especially deaths it would say something along the lines of "closed for investigations."

Just got a nice friendly PM on YT from Trance Fury:

Hi,
         
 I hope you don't have a ton of comments from me. I apologize if they are in queue. They weren't posting for some reason. I just wanted to say "Thank You" for posting a forecast with my song. I greatly appreciate the support. I feel honored that they've chosen my track for even the overnight hour. They do listen there and if you write them they'll move it up. I'm actually donating money from the sale of this track to The NC Coastal Federation. |/_ - Peace TF
Always great to receive feedback from artists. :)

What?

Why does The Weather Channel talk about weather all the time?

It is here, but he might have a lower monitor resolution that causes the join date to be on two lines.

Hmmm, these obs can't be right (except for Tampa). Just look at the sky conditions. :thinking:
I don't see anything odd right there.  :unsure: If you're talking about the "Clear" being listed, it's always been like that, day or night. That's how it was on the real 4000 (except during its early years I think).

General Discussion / Gary Papa dies
« on: June 19, 2009, 03:34:10 PM »
Gary Papa, one of WPVI-TV's most respected anchors, died less than an hour ago after a long battle against prostate cancer. I just heard about this while flipping to the AccuWeather channel when I caught Jim Gardner trying to hold his tears as he made the reporting. He was 54 years old.

Not even close.

Local Forecast / Re: New Product Playlists (flavors) being tested
« on: June 19, 2009, 11:55:28 AM »
TWC had been looking into changing the product playlists since before the acquisition, so I doubt this was NBC's idea. I remember one of TWC's ideas were to have traffic information display right after the current conditions before the forecast data, but I guess they scratched that idea.

I noticed the one minute flavors only show two cycles of the local radar, just like before September 2004!
