I went and created what the IS HD would look like with the current weather.com web icons. This time I'm entering information from IS #22103.

WeatherSTAR III with background. Made in Photoshop 7.

If only the WeatherStar 3000s would look like that back then.

Awesome work!

OK, so I've entered Boredom City.

These are the same CC slides as in the earlier posts, except it utilizes the city information I gathered from Charter Communications' IS #23484 while at a friend's apt. there last week.

I went and updated the Weather Bulletins template with a Tornado Watch scroll and a new background picture, which I took recently of storm clouds looming over the Las Colinas sky-scrapers.

General Discussion / Re: Overrated, underrated, and guilty pleasures (in music)

« on: June 27, 2010, 11:53:22 PM »

Yeah, I do agree that some the Top 40 artists today are overrated, although I like listening to the Black Eyed Peas, Kanye West (Prior to 2008), Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Maroon 5, Nelly, and Blink 182.

Underrated favorites: Anything jazz (smooth, straight-ahead, classic, etc.), rock groups such as The Hives, The Flaming Lips, The Fratellis, The Strokes; indie/alternative rap artists: Talib Kweli, Plan B, Foreign Exchange, A Tribe Called Quest, among others; plus a few oldies as well as Bob Marley, mon.

Gulty Pleasures: Anything I listed in the Underrated section.

Local Forecast / Re: IntelliSTAR Gone Mad (during severe weather, of course)...

Oh dear! My IntelliStar has NEVER gone THAT insane! Excellent capture!

I've opened that video in a seperate window and I've noticed there's that little soccer icon on the YouTube player. Click on that and the IntelliStar will REALLY go nuts!

Local Forecast / Re: June 2010 Playlist

Is it just me or does Early Evening by CC Gilmore sound similar to Joe Sample's Born to Be Bad (from Feb 2000 playlist)? They are two great songs, BTW.

It does sound like a cover version of Joe Sample's "Born To Be Bad".

More concepts. (:

•Another 3000 BG fail (made in After Effects CS4)
•Exact replica of the IntelliSTAR as it appeared from February-June 2008 (made in Photoshop 7)

Great job on the drawings, especially the IntelliStar one. LOL on the 3000 BG fail.

Same IS HD concepts, except the only changes are the local crawl and the 2006-2010 icons.

All weather data is actual as of Friday 06/11/2010 at 1:00PM CT. Cable alert notice is phony, although Style and Oxygen are in fact removed from the standard cable lineup. I wish they took the Golf Channel and MTV off the analog lineup instead of truTV and ABC Family.
