Organizing with Tweeter Lists

I’m currently trying to come up with a system to organize the various people I want to Follow on Twitter without everybody’s Tweets being jumbled together; because for me, since there will often be gaps between when I check in to my account, that could create a dilemma.

I think using multiple Twitter Lists may be the solution, once I come up with an organization scheme.

“Wind Chill Factor” and “Heat Index”

Okay, the meteorologists often say, “…making it feel like xx degrees.” Who exactly does it feel that temperature to? I thought applied science, which meteorology claims to be, was usually based on standards.

So, does The National Bureau of Standards (USA) have a guy, let’s call him Joe, locked in a room in Boulder, Colorado, and the wind or heated temperature feels like xx degrees to Joe? If so, shouldn’t it be called the Joe Wind Chill Factor and the Joe Heat Index? … Otherwise…

Well, this is just another of my many pet peeves.

“Snow eater”

*Is this a new meteorology term?* One of the local weather men used this phrase last night, apparently as an excuse for why we didn’t get the eight to ten inches of snow predicted by some earlier (which we seem to be getting a bit more of now). Something to do with dry air, blah, blah, blah…

This brings a couple other weather related things to mind…

Okay, this is better...

Moved over on to my Windows XP box. Am now able to type in the posting text box, rather than just in the "Title:" box. As was the case on my other box, which is still running Windows ME, and does run into a few snags on some of the sites with newer JAVA content.

I have no idea what I'm going to be putting here; I'm barely adding anything to the other official blog, but for some silly reason I decided to set this one up here.
