• Switched to darker gray background for wind image display. Darker gray provides better contrast and readability.
• Display wind direction when wind speed is zero. Users would like to know which way the wind vane is pointing even if the wind isn't blowing.

• Switched to default Java platform look & feel (from system L&F)

System look & feel was too unpredictable between Windows, KDE and Gnome desktops. Using default Java makes it look the same everywhere (it looks like Java everywhere).

COVID Vaccine Risk Assessment

Dr. Campbell goes over the official COVID vaccine health risks, and then describes one specific way to avoid risk: Aspiration (pulling back the syringe to check for blood before injecting). Aspiration will indicate whether the needle has entered a vein or artery, which dramatically increases the risk of adverse effects. Note that Denmark is the only country with aspiration as part of the protocol. Not the UK, and not the US. 

End of the Line for COVID?

UK Physician Dr. John Campbell has been analyzing the actual data on his YouTube channel. He seems to be more objective and informative than the mainstream media. 

How long will it take public policy to respond to the actual data? The writing has been on the wall for quite a while, but mandates remain in effect.

Journalists and Research Grant Grubbers Setting the Wrong Expectations

These people ought to be ashamed of themselves.

• Modified Wind Image rendering for faster updates

When WxMonitor is downloading the backlog of data from the previous 12 hours on startup, it animates the display so you can see what transpired while you were away. However, the Wind Image display takes quite a lot of resources to animate at the full incoming data rate, so I made it update at 10 frames per second. It still looks smooth and you can see everything. The full dataset still gets pushed through all the filters, so the highs and lows are accurately recorded. The goal is to get to real-time data display quicker.

Physics Isn't Pretty

Beauty should not be an objective for a scientific theory. I think the idea of beauty comes about when we look at a successful theory, and its elegance and its consistency with nature strike us as beautiful. Sabine gives us a summary of the state of physics as it exists today.
