Eric Fisher is on PM Edition with Nick. I don't know why, but he looks like Todd Santos to me.

How were Carl and Heather able to get from the HD Studio to the Studio desk? Aren't they in different buildings...I guess it's a quick walk over there.

No, it's the same building. The HD set was just an addition.

Hmm...why did I think the HD Studio was a separate building. Sorry.

Anyway, Carl and Heather seemed to be at the "Expert desk" for awhile...wonder why.

Not only is it added to the main building, but it's also built underground because I've heard them mention sometimes how the HD studio is like a basement and they have to walk upstairs to the main building.

Then what is this building?



From this image, I can now see that it is an "add-on" to the old building, but it looks above ground to me.

I noticed that when logged out, the login box in the upper right corner of the forums has absolutely no text to describe what the three fields are for. I basically had to guess that the first two were for username/password. No clue what the third box is for.

Yeah, I've wondered what the third box is, too. It certainly is not required for the log-in process.

ANOTHER new OCM? I'm not going to make a big fuss about this, though, as it will likely lead to some type of argument. At least TWC is picking GOOD OCMs.

Hey guys, in case any of you have been wondering what happened to me, I was on vacation and hadn't logged-on for three weeks. It's nice to be back again, especially to see those awesome IS 2 videos.

Welcome back!  Where did you go on your vacation?

I went to Michigan, near Kalamazoo.
