This blog grew out of participation in the Minnesota 23 Things On a Stick program and has a eye on how all of this Web 2.0 stuff matters to archives and special collections. If you don't get the "on a stick" part of the title, just visit the Minnesota State Fair: all the good stuff to eat is served on a stick.

Wind Art/Map
Something beautiful to look at: a wind map. According to the site: "The wind map is a personal art project, not associated with any company.
We've done our best to make this as accurate as possible, but can't
make any guarantees about the correctness of the data or our software.
Please do not use the map or its data to fly a plane, sail a boat,
or fight wildfires :-) ... Surface wind data comes from the National Digital Forecast Database.
These are near-term forecasts, revised once per hour. So what you're
seeing is a living portrait. (See the NDFD site for precise details;
our timestamp shows time of download.) And for those of you chasing top
wind speed, note that
maximum speed may occur over lakes or just offshore." Enjoy!
