I'd call it an improvement! I'm giving weather discussions and forecasts for a nonmajor meteorology course of about 200 students. As part of the course, they have to make at least 25 forecasts during the semester, and they will use this page to help them. When I took the course, I found the page very inconvenient to use, ugly, and I thought some of the recommended websites were useless. So...when they asked me to be their meteorology student lackey, I begged them to let me change the page, because there was no way I could use it to give the forecast discussion. It didn't take much convincing for them to let me fuck with it (gee, I wonder why). So, there you go. I at least find it much easier to use, and I'm hoping that the students will like it, too.

your page is much easier to read. nice job.
has school started for you or does it start next week?

It starts Monday. I'm soooo so SO not ready to hit the grind again, though.

yeah. i'm ready to go back to school but i don't want to. you missed one heck of an ice storm here. but sounds like you had some pretty shitacular weather too.

do you have any instant messaging programs?? yahoo, AOL, etc.

I have yahoo, AOL, and MSN, but the only one I ever really use is AOL. My screennames are:

AOL: phantasmagoriast (easier to copy and paste than try to spell)
MSN: miraje5@go.com
Yahoo: miraje2

Shitacular weather, indeed. We have the deepest snow in the state right here in Ames...17.5 inches. I get to walk to work in it here in a few minutes. Fuck me for not getting my camera from Jeremy before he left for his DC trip. That would make some great shots!

cool. i'll add you to my yahoo list. i need to get AOL. i know quite a few people with it. instant messaging and LJ are my ways of keeping in touch with people.

wow. 17.5 inches. that's a lot of snow. brrrr. is it windy. man, if we had that much here and the wind came up we'd be snowed in for a week. haha

Having taken the class, I agree that the page was ugly and had some useless information. The only thing I reccomend changing is the color of the links in the far left column. The maroon on purple is hard to read.
