  1. Can you post the link for the webcam again? Looking through nearly 50 pages is too difficult. Thanks.
  2. Taken on January 16th http://www.flickr.com/photos/8773000@N08/4290758735/ Taken on January 17th http://www.flickr.com/photos/8773000@N08/4290762851/in/set-72157623126187387/
  3. Im posting this in from a minute into the video because its taking a while to load/buffer, so its not Hollywood material, its still great, and very clear. Good shots despite the not-so-great weather. When you said shaky, i was expecting "cloverfield", and i thought you would be taking it while you were actually riding! All in all, good job.
  4. Looks empty, but those storefronts have soooo much potential, so this thing will look H-O-T with all the retail, restaurants, etc. Who has leased space?
  5. So this is the project we heard about a long time ago, very cool.
  6. That would be nice, tall enough that you could see it behind the foreground of towers in the "skyline district". Also, I remember us discussing wether or not MainPlace would be visible from the "skyline district". But, i dont remember if we agreed on anything. Do does it look like it will? Flickr Jason Tinder
  7. Houston remains in hunt as possible World Cup venue http://www.chron.com...oc/6811728.html I'm sure Baltimore, Nashville, Tampa, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Glendale will be eliminated. Mixed feelings about Foxboro, Denver, Seattle, and Landover. I think it will come down to Atlanta, Arlington, Houston, East Rutherford, Los Angeles-Pasadena, Philly, and San Diego. But, the ones who have a chance at getting it too, are Foxboro, Denver, Seattle, or Landover. Just mo.
  8. Well i wasn't aware of this, and should be some good exposure for Houston. If we do get it, it would just add to our experience for hosting large sporting events. Article from the Chron, Raising the ante for Olympic trials Houston seeks to land both races in January 2012 Thoughts, anybody? link: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/run/6807646.html It goes on to mention Houston's failed efforts to land the 2012 olympics, and how this would compensate at least for a little bit. I think it's a great idea, plus, it's in January, so next year our mildly cool winters should return. For a first, no one will complain about the weather!
  9. Saw it again, and it looks like Rice, but it could've been another university. There are tons of univ. and many are just as nice as Rice, so im not sure, there wasn't something enough that made it distinguishable.
  10. Yes, its the Administaff Holiday Balloon. Its takes you 35 stories up in the sky.
  11. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/soc/6805599.html Basically, the bid comittee likes our chances?
  12. I saw it either yesterday or the day before. And i think it was FOX, maybe the CW.
  13. I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but here it goes. I would think another newspaper from a community that would be impacted by the rail would have more info, but heres the Citizen's article. As in the first round of open houses, the four alternatives being considered are: Commuter rail service between downtown Houston and Galveston, running along the existing rail right of way along Highway 3. Bus rapid transit using high-capacity buses in exclusive lanes, running along Interstate 45 between downtown Houston and Galveston. Express bus service between downtown Houston and Galveston on a route partially using Interstate 45 and partially along Highway 3. Doing nothing to address traffic issues along the corridor. http://www.hcnonline.com/articles/2010/01/05/pasadena_citizen/news/010310_rail_open_house.txt The three open houses, which will have information about the proposals and opportunities for input, ate scheduled for: 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 12, in the La Marque Community Meeting Room, 1109-B Bayou Road, La Marque. 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 13, in Atrium II of the Bayou Building, University of Houston-Clear Lake, 2700 Bay Area Boulevard, Houston. 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan 14, at the Cleveland-Ripley House Neighborhood Center, 720 Fairmont Parkway, Pasadena. More information about the proposals can be seen at www.GalvestonRailStudy.com.
  14. I searched youtube. Nothing. Googled it, and went to the jack in the box commercials' site. Nothing. But i only hit that site. http://www.jackinthebox.com/commercials/
  15. A change in scenery isnt so bad. I've enjoyed these colder days.(for lack of a better word) Not what we usually expect in a Houston winter. And, hey, it could be worse, we could be Dallas!!
  16. There was a thread on it. http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/index.php?showtopic=20677
  17. Well then I apologize for misjudging the situation.
