There is a trailer coming out tomorrow for some sort of documentary about ION.

3 LRV’s on their way out today for testing and training, after a rough start dealing with ice on the OCS in the yard.
Edit: 514 is getting ready to come out now, too.

I can’t help but observe that if they have the time to make the trailer, never mind the whole documentary, they should have had time to answer a few questions on Twitter from interested citizens. They've been making a bit more of an effort on social media since the end of the summer, but it hasn't exactly been overwhelming. I'm pretty unhappy they kept the delay until spring 2019 secret until after the election. I am glad they are doing so much public engagement with special events now, but in hindsight it's the sort of stuff they would have been doing a year ago if there was any hope of meeting previous deadlines.

The narrator's accent in that trailer is distracting. What is it, Irish?

That's TJ Flynn, and he's been with the project since Day 1, so I'm happy to hear him as the narrator. The only other person I think who could or should have done it would be Tom, or maybe have Darshpreet come back.

The Irish build things good and strong. Could never decide which accent I liked better; Scottish (part of my heritage), Irish, Australian, South African, the Deep South in the USA or Texan. (haha..cool, the autocorrect autocorrected the Deep South to be capitalized!) EDIT: So just watched the video, gotta say, it was well done. The accent didn't bother me, though it was fairly strong, but Flynn was obviously trying to enunciating every word clearly. I'm sure if he is Irish, he'd have a job in broadcast somewhere.
