Kottke Interviews Mr. Sun about the Weather Widget

DashboardThis is quite possibly one of the weirdest posts I've ever read.

In the post, Jason Kottke interviews Mr. Sun (who has his own blog) about his agreement to lend his likeness to OS X Tiger's Weather Widget. In the interview, Mr. Sun notes, "So yes, I agreed to lend my likeness to the OS X weather widget. Is it where I want to be right now? No. Is it an honest gig? Yes, I think so. I've been thinking about starting a blog anyway; someone needs to let those other Sun Shadys know they are just imitating."

You know, I'm glad to hear that Apple took the necessary precautions to properly secure permission from Mr. Sun to use his likeness. Otherwise, they could have really risked getting burned. Get it? Burned!

I wonder when Kottke will interview Mr. Cloud and Mr. Thunderstorm?

It's not accurate because you forgot to tell it that you're in nowhere, and you have to customize the weather there. Cmd + Opt click the weather widget to get to nowhere, like in the Keynote.

I wish they would ask Mr. Sun if he likes his likeness being used on the weather widget, even when the sun is not out. Man, that thing is never accurate.
