Description

Windmaker is an ambient weather widget that applies the current wind conditions to (almost) any website. Visitors are invited to submit a zip code and a web address. Windmaker parses the submitted website into text blocks and images, and sets these pieces in motion according to the current strength of the wind at that zip code.

Windmaker uses a United States ZIP code to fetch local wind conditions from the Yahoo! Weather RSS feed. It then parses a Web site into individual pieces such as text blocks and images. Finally, Windmaker sets these pieces in motion according to the strength of the wind.
