Today's post on Hivelogic uses that blogger's WeatherPop icon as a brief, graphical way to exult over the fact that, yay, it's snowing. (Dude, what are you, ten?)

Anyway, I have some issues with the current weather icon in my menu bar, specifically that I live several hundred miles inland where people have never seen a lighthouse, and it is only because of my own advanced cultural indoctrination that I can look at a picture of a lighthouse and think, "gee, it must be foggy outside."

There must be a better graphical way to indicate fog.

Additionally, I'm confused about something. Sony Ericsson makes the T610 in three different colors (aluminum, red and blue), but only the aluminum one is available in the U.S.

And yet, the T610 icon in iSync, as well as in Salling Clicker's menu extra, is...why, is that red?? I do believe it is!

This irritates me because I wanted a red T610, and I can't have one, and now my Mac is making fun of me. Now it mocks me by playing nothing but songs from the Beatles' weird period.

It has evolved cruelty. Heaven help us all.
