It's Only April 12th...

Here it is... only the 12th of April... and I’m already counting down to October...
I hate summers in Atlanta. Especially ones that drag on and on without an afternoon storm in sight. That is how today is already feeling. A long... hot... pollen filled... dry and boring week... ugh... I already hate that summer is coming, but a dry spring really fills me with dread. Lack of soil moisture played a big role in the August from hell in 2007...
I suppose the “positive” spin on this is that we haven’t had the severe weather we usually get this time of year. Though, like most weather geeks, I have a love/hate relationship with severe storms. However, I really don’t have a love/hate relationship with boring, dry, hot and miserable... so... I vote a pattern change sooner rather than later!

iPad

The iPad is awesome...
So... I’ve compiled and run the new version of wxRadar on it... I have a few UI bugs to work out, but it should be pretty easy. That said... wxRadar update is coming REALLY soon (submitting to Apple within the next week)... I’m also not putting out an “HD” version of wxRadar or anything separate for the iPad. It will just become a universal app and a free update to everyone (no special or additional functionality for the iPad yet - but it will run outside the 1x/2x mode). This isn’t to say I don’t have plans for cool stuff for the iPad... more on that later...
