Announcement about being shorter....

...in name only. (sorry for the tease)

The building is now being called the "Comcast Technology Center," rather than the "Comcast Innovation and Technology Center," said Demming, adding that the earlier name had always been seen as a placeholder.

Well, I'll probably take a few months before I stop calling it Comcast Innovation. Sounds way better than Comcast Technology, if you ask me.

It does sound better, but to be the innovation center they'd actually have to innovate something

I think they should have just combined words: Comcast Technovation Center.

Philadelphia Perigee Full Moon
Image Credit & Copyright: Jerry Lodriguss (Catching the Light)

Explanation: A supermoon sets over the metropolis of Philadelphia in this twilight snapshot captured on November 14 at 6:21am Eastern Standard Time. Within hours of the Moon's exact full phase, that time does correspond to a lunar perigee or the closest point in the Moon's elliptical orbit around our fair planet. Slightly bigger and brighter at perigee, this Full Moon is still flattened and distorted in appearance by refraction in atmospheric layers along the sight-line near the horizon. Also like more ordinary Full Moons, it shines with the warm color of sunlight. Joined by buildings along the Philadelphia skyline, the perigee full moonlight is reflected in the waters of the mighty Cooper River.

How about this name for the skyscraper:

Comcast Obscene Profits and Poor Customer Service Tower?

Love seeing the FMC signage still lit up in the early morning hours. Getting very close to the top of the core.

The steel is almost at the height of the core, which means that it won't be long before it's topped off. The glass is also almost at the hotel, which is also exciting. It's starting look more finished in the skyline overall. Remember when this was first announced?s=
