It's A Breeze

Really it is. You can see how breezy it is here at The Presurfer when you go to The Presurfer Windy Headquarters.

This is done with Windmaker, an ambient weather widget that applies the current wind conditions to your web site. First, it uses a United States ZIP Code to grab local conditions from the Yahoo Weather RSS feed. Second, it parses your web site into individual pieces such as text blocks and images. Finally, WindMaker sets the pieces in motion according to the strength of the wind.

Try Windmaker with your own web site. It isn't always working and it looks like there's a bug in it somewhere. Also not sure if this works in Internet Explorer.

(thanks Xena and Alex)
