WunderMap = System Hog
So this morning, I looked outside and thought it might rain. Heading over to Wunderground.com (the best weather station around, BTW), I tuned into the “wundermap”. All these choices for overlays of Tornadoes (we’ve had three in the past twenty years!), Fires, Hurricanes, Brimstone, Illegal Aliens – it’s amazing. So I fired up every single overlay they offered and goggled (not googles) at the insanely overlayed map.
Time Passes, my programmer on the east coast calls and I open a new tab and start working with him… leaving the wundermap there. With it’s 17 realtime overlays. Updating. All day.
At around 5:00, after a really frustrating day of my main editing machine running dog slow for some unknown reason, I call it quits and start closing apps and windows and realize as the power in the house brightens a bit as I close the wundermap, the reason for my frustratingly slow day.

I laughed too. With you, not at.
