Dead Tree Forecast

Today's customized Weather Underground forecast. Click for full PDFThe Weather Underground, a weather service possibly named after the leftist movement of the early 1970s, is one of my preferred web sites for obtaining weather information and forecasts. They have all kinds of weather-related services available, including marine and aviation weather and even weather blogs.

Today, I stumbled upon their Daily Forecast Flyer feature, which allows anyone to create a single-page flyer with the current local weather, regional and world weather, and the forecast. It seems like a really neat tool to use in a business, like a travel agency or a hotel, where customers may plan their activities based on weather forecasts. It also makes a pretty fun toy, as you can see in the flyer I linked at the top of this entry.

Go pretend you own a hotel in some exotic land and check it out!

Oh, and if you're going to be in the Boston area on June 15th (Father's Day weekend), you should definitely check out Beer Advocate's Night of the Lagers (beer list), which aims to "destroy the popular misconception that all lagers are yellow, fizzy, and boring."
