Those of you who watched our 2007 Olympia webcast most likely saw our roving "hat cam" at the Olympia expo.  That service was provided by Justin.tv, a popular lifecasting site on the web.

We’re going to be using that channel again this year for a few more bodybuilding shows and scheduled chats with various persons of interest throughout the year.  The first of these live video chats will take place this Friday, January 11, 2008 @ 1:00 p.m. MST (-0700) with Bodybuilding.com Intern Tammo Vastenburg from the Netherlands.

So, stop by this Friday and chat with BodySpace member Tammo, find out what an intern at BB.com does, see if Dutch people are white (LOL), and hear what a real Dutch accent sounds like!  Here’s the link:

If you aren’t aware, Tammo was recently featured as one of our Wallpapers of the Week! 

"The BodyPoints system is currently down as we fix a few small bugs. Check back soon!"

1/11/08 Update:  BodyPoints are currently broken, but should be back online next week sometime.

1/17/08 Update:  BodyPoints are still currently broken, but should be back online next week sometime.

1/31/08 Update:  BodyPoints are still currently broken, and it turns out that it’s not something we can easily "fix" so instead the whole Points module is being rewritten from square one.  Thus, it’ll be at least another month before they’re available again, I’m thinking March 1st at the earliest.  We’re also working on a way to ‘compensate’ everyone that is currently active for the lost points while it’s off.  Stay tuned.

2/21/08 Update:  March 1st is looking more like April 1st.

Happy New Year to everyone on BodySpace and Bodybuilding.com!  We’re looking forward to another great year helping you reach your fitness and bodybuilding goals!

Wonder who the top BodySpace members were at exactly the stroke of midnight?  Well, here they are:
