				| A little late for the summer season I know but I finally got around to adding something that's been driving me nuts all summer when looking at my wind pages, yes that's right temperature and pressure differences. I also tweaked a few things. Take a look: http://nwwind.net/wind.php
 
 Note: the temperature diff is calculated to show summer "thermal wind" generating differences. It can be a little confusing as to "which direction" it means. If anyone can think of a clear way to get that point across on the pages I'm all ears, I've thought about using arrows like I do for the wind direction. I might add the arrows to the pressure diffs as well
 
 Now that days are getting shorter there are a couple other things that have really been annoying me (which is how I prioritize what I do next for my site) that I hope to add, no promises

 Constructive feed back, thoughts, ideas appreciated...

				| Mike I love the interface you've come up with, slim/trim/fast/no-nonsense. 
 Awesome job.

				| Thanks for doing this. Very useful info. collected together like this. Between you and George Mclean maybe i can convince myself to send pager back to iwindsurf. 
 It would be great if users could send you information about the location of each sensor and any tips on how to interpret the readings for actual wind on the water and you could post this somewhere? Anything to save time and gas

 I'll be gradually working on some more things, don't want to open my mouth and then never get around to it (like WAP, sorry guys...some day some day). I've got a bunch of ideas
