The only use I have for Dashboard in Mac OS X is the weather widget. But the Weather widget is very impersonal: it prints highs, lows, current temperature… lots of numbers! I wanted a widget that would describe the weather in a more qualitative way, so I made an ugly hack of the default weather widget. I call it “Whether.” You can get it here.
It's accurate as fuck!
For reference:
- >70ºF -> “Comfy”
- 51 to 70 -> “Fine”
- 41 to 50 -> “Chilleh”
- 33 to 40 -> “Wear a sweater”
- 26 to 32 -> “Cold”
- 21 to 25 – > “Damn cold”
- 16 to 20 -> “Cold as shit”
- 11 to 15 -> “Fucking cold”
- 6 to 10 -> “Goddamn cold as fuck”
- 1 to 5 -> “Mother-goddamn-fucking cold”
- -9 to 0 -> “OMFGDON’TGOOUTSIDE”
- -19 to -10 -> “SWEETMOTHERMARYMOTHEROFJESUSIT’SCOLD”
- <-19 -> “WTFHOLYFUCKINGMOTHERFUCKINGSHITIT’SGODDAMNFUCKING-JESUSFUCKINGCOLD” (line wrapping issues)
Clearly this is not the widget for you if you’re easily offended.
