Newport News, Va., and the region surrounding it, has been called the “City of the Bible.” I can’t say I’m a big fan of this nickname. We are a town of many churches, lots of churches, and a good deal of churches in one place. However, I am not a believer in the Bible. I like to think of myself as a rational, intelligent person who makes up her own rules. But I digress.
In the last year, the entire area surrounding Newport News has experienced a rash of weather-related disasters. This video shows the new weather station at the town’s edge that has a digital map on it that shows the weather for the next day. I can’t help but think of it as a weather forecast.
I’m not sure whether it’s a coincidence or the fact that the people who live in Newport News are not on the map, but I’m sure it’s all a coincidence.
Well, like all the other videos of the video, this one is a little more self-aware. I think it’s because of the fact that there are so many digital maps on the screen. They are all connected, and they all seem to be connected. So when one of the sensors picks up on a signal from a certain station, they all send this signal to this station, and in this case, they are all connected. It would be almost impossible to not notice something like this.
I think the reason that this video made me pause for a bit is because it’s so self-aware. I could almost think of it as a time-loop, where every time I look at it, I’m starting over from scratch. I would have to pause, look at the map, and try to figure out how to get back to the beginning again.
This is a really cool thing that is happening in real-time. It’s called *time-linking* and it’s basically the idea of your computer having a web page that links back to itself.
The newport news weather stream is so self-aware, its like you have a time loop. Each day you start at the beginning and it keeps looping you forward. This has been done with other streams, like the news and weather, but it’s so self-aware that if you watched it for two seconds, it would have started looping itself.
If you’re like me, you have a little time loop going on in your head as well. No idea why, just it’s there. When I try to watch the weather stream, I just get confused and I’m like, “Oh, here it comes!” And sure enough, I get looped.
I really wish I could say this, but I don’t. I don’t know what the hell I’m thinking. It’s not like I just watched it. That’s ok. That’s all I’m trying to say so far.
I’m not sure if I’m actually in a position to read this. No, I’m trying to explain what I’m feeling about my current weather. I haven’t seen it this whole time. Not really. I do have a tendency to feel the world is so much more chaotic than I expected. I get so used to it, when I see it, I wonder why. I think it might be because I have a tendency to feel all the things that I see are chaos.
