[ale] Weather App (was WAY [OT] but geeky - how do I calibrate GPS barometric altimeter)

[Lightner, Jeff]

One of the things I liked about 30 Rock was it continually made fun of NBC and its parent GE.   After Comcast bought NBC they starting making fun of "Kabletown" their new owners.    30 Rock is in its last season.  Coincidence?  :-)

Ah, dang. :(  Well, for what it's worth, I haven't seen any bad changes since they were bought; in fact the service I've received seems even better.  Maybe NBC Universal is keeping its distance for now; I can only hope it remains that way as finding a weather service I like AND trust is, well, hard.

Thanks for the heads up! :)

Hey, that's awesome!  Definitely will bookmark that one.

Cheers,
