Literally, The Best J-SHOW Ever!

By Jesse Ferrell, AccuWeather meteorologist

"I been hit wit a few shells, but I don't walk with a limp (I'm a-ight)." -- 50 Cent

That's right folks, it's that time of the week, er, month, er, season... I know it's been a while, over a month actually. But now it's time for the J-SHOW, my every-so-often video blog where we take a look at funny weather graphics and find out what's going on in the world of weather, technology, and my brain. This Friday The 13th, the J-SHOW was so in-depth that I had to split it into three videos (don't worry, ads will only precede the first one).

WARNING: The J-SHOW contains humor. Not in the mood? Check out my other Recent Entries at right.

FIrst of all, I explore what causes most forest fires. Big News... turns out, it's 50-foot-tall cigarettes! Who knew??

Tonight I also discuss recent happenings at AccuWeather, and I show behind-the-scenes footage from the AccuCam installation.

Fellow blogger Paul Yeager (PREMIUM | PRO) also has a new book out which I delve into; I then discuss my recent yard sale and birthday and preview some upcoming features in future J-SHOWs.

Noteably absent this week were: World Weird Web, The AccuWeather.com Forums, and The J-Back Machine. These features will return next time... I just had too much to talk about tonight. "Car Chase of the Week" turns into "Cow Chase of the Week" and I add in some postal-service-invading turkeys for good measure.

Finally, in This Week on the J-CAM, find out what computer confounded me Monday and what cohort gave me a project that made me cry on Wednesday.
