Look into Lutron's lighting offerings; especially the Grafik-Eye gear.
Our 6zone GEye makes the room absolutely perfect for multiple scenes be it movie, TV, eating, entertaining, reading, etc.
Hmm, maybe ...

Hmm, maybe someone got a new smoke machine and was testing air flow on some cases in the lab.

The MPC staff can neither confirm nor deny we were testing a smoke machine.

We all made it out fine--and the building's still standing! Expect a full-length podcast later this week, with Gordon angrier than ever. Until then, give the all-rant podcast another listen to get you through.

Well, since at least a portion of the podcast came out, I assume they made it out in one piece and the building didn't blow up on them...
In terms of rantage, I remember when there was construction across the road from my office and they nicked a gas pipe. They evacuated the buildings in the area, and the first thing the smokers did on exiting the building is light up...
You guys don't get it do you

The podcast ended abruptly because the had to get out of the F**king building. Gordon isn't gonna sit down and due a rant while every one is running out of the building. Did you hear the guy in the background he sounded panicked.
Love the 64k qaulity Jeremy and nice ending to the show.

There was a suspected gas leak at the Future building and they had to run for their lives. No shenanigans.

"And, as always, we answer your tech questions."
I call shenanigans!

I'll bet 10 to 1 odds that this is due to the recent storms in the area: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/05/us/05calif.html?em&ex=1199682000&en=d8626e4ca801eaec&ei=5087%0A

"we answer your tech questions." - no you didn't, you bailed after 15 minutes without giving us a clue what happened.

Fits your price point, and it's been receiving great reviews.

HOLY C@#$%T the sound quality went up.
Don't know what happened with your guy's building but hopefully everything all worked out.

I was weirded out when I heard Jeremy's voice and when I heard that tambourine in the intro music (never heard it before).
64Kbps. Mmm.
