Cascading Weather Sheet

Since it is possible to generate CSS on the fly. It should also be possible to base the CSS on physical or temporal factors. For instance the background colour could be governed by the current temperature, at a fixed location - or through an approximate geopip lookup the current temperature of the users location. The cascading strawberry on this page could also be exchanged for an appropriate image of rain or snow or several running in tandem (the original script was for snow) to reflect the current weather state. XML based weather lookups are available to achieve this. The current time of day/season/analysis of the last referrers could also be used to affect the style of the site.

Through the Google Earth Keyhole

10Mb gets you the Google branded and integrated keyhole corporation product allowing you to to navigate the world google style. Public today. Has to been seen to be comprehended fully. Neatly integrated with the google maps, and makes finding the nearest Chicken Katsu Curry as easy as it should be. Panning and zooming from the Keyhole product retained. Reminded me of an old version Neotrace - the part that geolocates IP addresses as your packets traverse the world on their own special journey... Has anyone integrated geolocation from IP addresses with Skype? Would be nice to know where callers were calling from. Suspect not possible since the P2P infrastructure will obscure the originators IP Address.
