    I was in Bricktown for lunch today and noticed the crane being used on the NE face of the tower working on the lights.

    I don't know if I can take a pic of this without messing up the camera in my phone, but, in the late afternoon, on a sunny day as your heading east on the Hwy 152 ext. from Mustang the Devon tower looks like the eye of sauron. The reflection from that angled tip looks really wicked.

    One day last year there was a dust storm and someone captured the Eye of Sauron beam through the dirty sky, lol.

    The beam is blinding on a clear day, and close up.

    Yowsers! I hope the photographer still has a functional optic nerve after snapping that shot.



    That tower is just plain shiny (watch out!)

    I was the photographer. Optic nerve has fully recovered.

    Don't know how many of you have noticed that Devon Energy Center has its own website:

    Devon Energy Center

    You can register tours from the site. The thing that caught my attention was the sequence of factoids they run across the top.
    Here's a couple:

    "The entire Devon Energy Center complex weighs about 200 million pounds. The tower alone weighs 140 million pounds."

    "Devon Energy Center has 50 elevators. The total, round-trip distance for all elevators is about 3.5 miles."

    This has been up since October when the building opened.

    If Devon Tower was scaled down to 8.4" tall, it would weigh 140 lbs.

    Playoffs are getting close...don't have anymore time to waste. Too much good publicity for Devon if that building is doing light shows for the ESPN/TNT cameras.

    As long as they don't try to spell out Thunder along the height of the building. That looked so elementary the one time they did it...

    I've noticed they haven't had the LED lights on for several nights -- or at least for a big chunk of the nights.

    Hopefully they are getting close to finally finishing the lighting.

    Should be able to do much more than what we've seen when everything is done and programmed. Effectively, each few feet of the fins can be controlled separately and are capable of hundreds of different colors. Looking forward to what they can do.

    They have, but just in the crown, not the indentions.

    I drove by last night and not only did they have them on, but did a pretty elaborate multi-color display in the indentions, with different floors being different colors in patterns. It looked uber cool.

    Some time ago there were requests for video of what's going on with the LEDs. Not sure if that request was fulfilled, but here's a 1-minute, otherwise uneventful, video from about an hour ago:

    Did I just waste 41 seconds of my life before finally freeing myself from that video? lol

    A friend of mine loved this photo I took from Vast because (in his words), "most people only ever take photos outward and/or looking down. You thought outside of the box".



    Also, I hadn't seen this on the site so I figured I would snap a pic. It's a nice glass barrier wall with the city skyline in it. It's on the east side of the tower at ground level where you gain access to the elevators to go up to Vast.

    very nice, and detailed skyline art!

    Mentioned a week or two ago there was a building permit for a large medical clinic in Corporate Tower which we subsequently tied to Devon.

    Now, I'm hearing they will be expanding their workout facilities with even more space in Corporate Tower.


    It seems pretty obvious these are stop-gap measures until they can expand their facilities in the Preftakes block (immediately west of their current campus).

    We also know there have been open discussions about a new tower for them, although that doesn't seem to be on the fast track at this time.
