Visual data: phone & wind
Monday, 6 December 2010
We are among the data-intensive iPhone owners, and one of the things we use The Technology for is GPS and traffic info when we’re on the road. A week or so ago, we got this mapping glitch, which was kinda pretty, but not so useful.
Maybe it was the mountains?
If only it were that simple….
All this yak-yak is to avoid one major topic of the day for me—windy-coldness. Meaning the windy part. Awake-asleep last night, noticing it all day, and still noticing it as night locks in.
Yaknow, it’s difficult to photograph the wind—stills, I mean. You can capture Krummholtz-afflicted vegetation, which shows the long-term presence of wind, but it’s not a visual capture of the wind itself, dontchknow?
