This is pretty cool, although I will admit my imagination may have went a bit wild in the few seconds which passed between my reading the title and the page loading. I conjured an image of an 8-bit dynamic animation of weather across the globe.
This looks more like 16-bit weather though. 8-bit machines didn't generally have high resolutions (= 1x1 pixels) with that many shades of color. The best had either or. In contrast, the weather guy looks like a PC EGA era illustration.
The antialiased text and raster images are kind of killing the illusion. I feel like they got the look of the guy reasonably 8-bit looking, in sort of a Maniac Mansion way. SVG images probably would have looked a lot better here though.
Centigrade or Fahrenheit?
Grenada the country or the first result from yahoo's geocoder (i.e. some street with "grenada" in it's name in a US state)
unrelated ... if it is the West Indian country - how is the technology / hacker scene there? I spent early internet working in Dominica (Commonwealth of)
Fahrenheit, though 46C would have been way off in the other direction :) And it did seem to recognize my location properly, though I can't verify where the backend actually pulled weather data for.
I'm just here for a vacation, but have spent some time exploring. The technology scene seems rather limited overall. I think you could easily find a spot to work from for a month or two. Cost of living is lowish, Internet access does not seem to hard to come by, people are friendly and the island is very safe. But you're not likely to come across a whole lot of other like-minded hackers (IMO).
