..same old song
...just another tune. I can sort of calculate the "heating degree days" and even understand the formula....how hard is the difference between an average temperature for the day and 65degrees F but windchill? I'm even looking at the formula below the chart and I still don't get it...who figures these things out anyway?? So for all of our edification, here's the official Wind Chill chart.
The thermometer on the porch registered -20 when I got up at 5:30 this morning. Fortunately there are very light winds...they say 3mph soooooo according to our niftly little chart "feels like" temperature is something between -20 and -34. Of course the site also says our temperature is -14 with a wind chill -24. Actually I don't care what it says...it's still darn cold.

Oh sweet irony.
I remember when I was younger wishing to be the cool kid with the cast... until I got one.
I remember dreaming of cool winter nights in the summertime heat... and now my nose feels like it's about to fall off.
And once I thought it'd be cool to have traffic to my website... until I got slashdotted.

From WhatIs.com:
Slashdot Effect
The Slashdot Effect is the sudden, relatively temporary surge in traffic to a Web site that occurs when a high-traffic Web site or other source posts a story that refers visitors to another Web site. The effect gets its name from the Slashdot Web site, which provides content about Linux and related software, and sometimes features news about other related but less-traveled sites. However, the effect can be perceived when any large Web site posts a high-interest, widely-publicized story, about another site. The effect is obviously much more noticeable on smaller sites and the surge in traffic sometimes will slow a site down or make it impossible to reach.
