Iphone Gets First Weather Prediction App (Review Video)

In our battle against the elements, Dark Sky is definitely a digital tool we want to have in our pocket.
The weather app for iPhone aims to tell you exactly when it it going to rain down to the hour.
And Dark Sky is beautifully crafted to boot. Couple that with excellent graphics and maps, and the app becomes a truly enjoyable way to help you nail down the next downpour."




This screen shot shows you a graphic of the weather over your head, and not just choppy snapshots of the radar every five minutes as in the Weather Channel or Weather bug, but a smooth scroll of the weather's path. 

The yellow line tells you more detail about rain fall then any app on the market. It predicts light, medium and heavy rain fall in ten minute increments.

Below you will see a video of the two smart folks who invented this app and what they intended to do.

Now that is what they wanted their app to do, does it do it? Click Here to see a review of Dark Skys.

  Aunk's commentary: I swim outdoors and play tennis most days in the summer so if it is going to rain in the next hour is very important to me on a daily bases. I brought the app of $399 today. I live in the North East and  will be testing this app over the next week. I will get back to you with the results as an update to this article.

It is So Hot Swimmers Have to Swim in Shifts (Video)

That's right, it is so hot in South Philadelphia that there has been a record breaking turnout of people who want to cool off. So many people want to swim that swimmers have to swim in shifts.




I sure hope this does not happen at my local town pool. So far so good, the temp is high but not that high so we still had adult lap swim at 5 and 7pm for 30 minutes. Some of these folks who are waiting should find a nice tree and chill. Personally I would run a few miles or platy some tennis till it is my turn in again.

Some pools actually have police at city pools to help manage the crowds. And Republicans said there is no global warming. I don't think I can remember swimmers swimming in shifts in my lifetime.

Aunk Back from Vacation

Hetep and Respect good spirits, I am back from vacation, sort of. The summer was filled with a lot of sun, swimming and tennis. I will miss it.



The shot above is me charging forward in the breaststroke.

I continued to dramatically improve my health as I worked on my health book, coming soon. The dramatic improvement of my eyesight and turning my home into a Health Zone are two results that are being added to the book.
