You can see on here it's 88 degrees in Pasadena. At 9:30pm. High of 99 today. Of course, everyone is complaining, but it's SUPPOSED to be hot. It's summer. In fact we've been waiting for summer all summer. Now that it's fall, summer is finally here.
Of course summer technically ends in a couple weeks I think, but Labor Day = fall. We all know that. Which is why school should not start until after Labor Day. (Obama, where are you on that?)
On a different note, while looking up weather, I noticed Yahoo's great new weather page. Their new logo is dullsville, but their weather page is very nice. Each page has some kind of iconic picture from that location. And they rotate and change. Hit refresh and you get a new one.
Wow, chilly in Boston already. And getting colder by the second apparently. (Wait a minute - Boston, NY?)
They did a nice job of having the font be very thin so you can see the image. And the graphics and logos are very hollow or translucent. (The exception is the ugly ad to the right. This was not there the first few days - guess they were testing it out.)
When you scroll down, there are more cool graphics that are easy to read without making the page cluttered.
The little icons on the bottom actually move. The sun goes across the sky on the bottom right, sunrise to sunset. The little windmills turn (although in this one they weren't, as the wind was 0pmh.)
It makes you want to start entering random cities and take a coffee table book type photo tour of the world.
Should really do something about the ad though. It looked much more elegant and clean without it. Oh well.
Actually if you turn off your cookies and Java, the ad disappears, leaving just a black box.
