Local Forecast / Re: Scott Emmerman

I get nothing from the link.

I think it redirects b/c it's a mobile site. Clicking the link and then copying/pasting the url he posted works for me.

Everything Else TWC / New weather.com look

« on: September 26, 2013, 03:35:54 PM »

In case you weren't aware, weather.com just got a major facelift. Don't worry! Your stories about spooky train stations and the 8 things you didn't know about sloths are still front and center, with those boring maps and forecasts near the bottom.

It's on the beta testing sub-domain, so in case you aren't automatically sent to it, try this link. The new look is a little too slick and boxy for my tastes, but better than the previous design.

Nice find! I was never able to find "Sky Blues." "Top of Mind" seems to be a re-recording here.

I found his site awhile back. Found a song that I remembered hearing on a local radio station in the 90s. Pretty cool!

General Weather Chat / Meteorology books

« on: September 16, 2013, 03:34:02 PM »

Since there are a few meteorologists and meteorology students here, I thought this would be the best place to ask...what are some good books to learn about meteorology and climatology? I looked at Amazon, but 99% of the results seem to be either textbooks (too expensive for me), geared towards kids, or books I already have.

Wow, that's sucks. "Looking For A Way" is one of my favorite TWC songs. I wonder what happened? I found a Twitter account for him (https://twitter.com/tom_borton). His last tweet was 10 days before his death.

I was never able to figure out what the problem was in Chrome, but whatever it was it's been fixed since your website update last month which I really like btw.

Thanks! Not sure what I did (I don't think I changed anything about how the clips work since the August 1st update), but I'm glad it works for you now.

I wasn't aware of the last part, that's awesome! I also just realized he's not on my artists page!

Are you kidding me!? I paid $15 or so for three songs years ago!

Hope this hadn't already been mentioned elsewhere. 

Yah, I think Chuck posted something about it shortly after it happened. Good news indeed for Network fans! Would have been nice if it had happened BEFORE I spent all that money on the CDs!

General Discussion / New YouTube Subscriptions feed

« on: September 10, 2013, 10:55:59 AM »

Has anyone figured out how to delete all the videos you've watched in your subscriptions feed? It seems like you can only do it one-by-one, but I must be missing something. Surely they wouldn't leave out an important feature like "select all?"

Programming and Graphics / WeatherCenter intro

« on: August 10, 2013, 10:41:23 PM »

Anyone remember the attached WeatherCenter intro? I always liked the spooky song playing, so I was curious who the artist was. Well I found out tonight, thanks to Shazam. For those interested, it's Anthony Phillips, who was one of the founders of the band Genesis. The song is called "Water Gardens."

In the Local and Travel Forecast under the Audio section, the audio files don't work when clicking on a song sends me to a new tab to play the audio file. This seems to be a problem when I'm using Chrome, in IE, there's a play button next to each song and the audio files work fine.

And it doesn't play? I just tried one song in Chrome and it played.

Forecasting / Re: Accuweather launches "revolutionary" 45-day forecasts.....

« on: August 07, 2013, 08:04:53 PM »

I believe it was said a while back that AccuWeather is actually AccuWrong.

Maybe someone else did, but I call them Not-So-Accu-Weather.

Heck, I've seen them say there were storms here on the current conditions...when the skies were virtually clear for hundreds of miles. How does that even happen?

That happens to me all the time! I don't understand it. I think the weather is at least in the general area, but it's not in Omaha.

A joke indeed. I use the AccuWeather Firefox add-on (b/c the weather.com one is STILL incompatible), and they rarely even get my 3 day forecast right!
