my love – hate releationship with theweathernetwork.com

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2013.04.25

Every day I go to a website for lies. It's theweathernetwork.com, and they do abuse me with innacurate forecasts and discouraging tales of the days to come.

Today they've released a much, much improved version of their website, it is much more readable and engaging. And unless I'm dreaming, it's also a bit faster.

And the best news? Though there is ice on the building next to ours, this weekend will be sunny with highs pushing 20ºC.

rand()m quote

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.

—Sigmund Freud
