It uses HTML5 and its own API to draw radar images with live data from the National Weather Service.</p> <p>The white dots on the map represent 155 radar sites across the US. As you drag it around, the radar closest to the center of the map will light up with its most recent data. The colored areas show where precipitation is occurring at varying levels of intensity. Pushing play will animate the last few hours.</p> <p>The imagery is not pre-generated, but rather drawn in-browser with Javascript. For this reason it can be processor intensive, especially while animating. Safari and Chrome are recommended over Firefox.</p> <p>I’ve always wanted to do something with radar data. The NWS creates an incredible wealth of information available every day about the physical world around us, but it’s locked away in an obscure binary file format developed long before the web. In order to visualize the data the way I wanted to, much bigger and in crazier colors than I’d ever seen used for weather radar before, I needed to translate it to a format I already understood.</p> <p>After many hours of research and fumbling around with a hex editor, I wrote a program in C called <a href="http://github.com/jstn/radar2json" target="_blank">radar2json</a> to convert the binary product files from the NWS into JSON (and which I’ve open sourced under the MIT license). I built a web service around it that <a href="http://radarmatic.com/api.html" target="_blank">anyone can use</a>.</p> <p>From a user interface standpoint, I set out to make something that puts as much focus as possible on the imagery itself and drastically reduces the friction of moving through it. Every other interface to radar data I’ve seen so far is scientifically oriented and does a poor job of being tactile and interactive, which I think is important for making a rich impression of what’s happening in our physical environment.</p> <p><a href="http://radarmatic.com/" target="_blank">Give it a try</a> and let me know what you think.

Offshore, big swell, and beautiful weather.  I recently made the move down to Florida for work, but booked a last minute trip to get back for the swell over the weekend. From the forecast I was expecting some epic conditions, turned out, as usual, when Saturday/Sunday rolled around, not much swell had showed up, and it turned out to be a lackluster weekend. A few hundred bucks went down the drain.  Still got some fun waves and enjoyed one of the last weekends of the summer.  I hope everyone had some fun on the leftovers (which turned out to be much better than the weekend, from what I heard) and is ready for the some more swell from Earl expected to arrive later this week.  Good luck!</p> <p>-Greg Heine</p> </blockquote>http://johnzanussi.com/post/1050375871http://johnzanussi.com/post/1050375871Wed, 01 Sep 2010 20:03:25 -0400<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xWbobiutvxM&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xWbobiutvxM&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://johnzanussi.com/post/125270823/interview-with-seth-galifianakis-zachs-twin" target="_blank">johnzanussi</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Interview with Seth Galifianakis (Zach’s twin brother).</p> <p>Here are some <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LN8KhamioXE" target="_blank">outtakes</a>.</p> </blockquote> <p>If you’re not familiar with Zach Galifianakis’ twin brother, watch this video.</p>http://johnzanussi.com/post/1049639501http://johnzanussi.com/post/1049639501Wed, 01 Sep 2010 17:21:43 -0400<object width="400" height="256" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://player.ordienetworks.com/flash/fodplayer.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value="key=41124b5136" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="400" height="256" flashvars="key=41124b5136" allowfullscreen="true" quality="high" src="http://player.ordienetworks.com/flash/fodplayer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://ientertainmyself.com/post/1049618072/zach-galifianakis-seth-galifianakis-between-two" target="_blank">hilarysiegel</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strike>Zach Galifianakis’</strike> Seth Galifianakis’ Between Two Ferns with Sean Penn.  By Mennen.</p> </blockquote>http://johnzanussi.com/post/1049629331http://johnzanussi.com/post/1049629331Wed, 01 Sep 2010 17:19:24 -0400
