You might have heard already on Tuesday's .NET Rocks!, but in case you didn't...

First of all, the announcement that affects all our fans. Starting this week we'll be publishing 2 .NET Rocks! shows every week. This week will be Tuesday and Thursday, and next week we're moving the first show to Monday making the publishing days Monday and Thursday. Woohoo!

Also, our friends at telerik have become Franklins.Net Gold sponsors, meaning that they are supporting EVERY SHOW! - .NET Rocks!, dnrTV, and Hanselminutes!! We honestly would not be doing this if it were not for all of our sponsors, and especially telerik. Thanks to all our major sponsors!

In local news, we're doing a major renovation to Pwop Studios. I realize we didn't publish lots of photos of the space before now, but you saw the studio if you watched the .NET Rocks! 2004 Movie (which will be coming soon on BitTorrent!) in the middle of which the Franklin Brothers band played our original tune New London Blues.

We have 2 26x26 rooms on the 5th and top floor of the Dewart Building (1915) in downtown New London, CT. The view is awesome from our space. One room was the training room, which seated 20 students. The other room was our studio where I started recording and editing .NET Rocks! in 2001. Just about all the media we produce comes out of that studio.

So what did we do? Why, knocked down the wall between them and gutted it, of course! We're going to turn it all into studio space and move the public classes to Atlanta (check the Franklins.Net website soon for new dates).

You can view the progress of the renovation here: http://photos.pwop.com/studio_renovation

Once the renovation is complete we're going to add screencast production and audio mastering and restoration to our list of services!

At the end I'll post a story on the entire process. Fun fun fun!
