"Eye of the Storm is your personal hurricane weather
center. It tracks and plots hurricanes and their wind fields
from the time they are born as tropical depressions until
after landfall. Three different map styles are interactive
and colorful and show the range and distribution of hurricane
winds. Database driven, it includes over 2000 historical hurricane
tracks for your own analysis and animation. Automatically
downloads detailed advisory information via the Internet,
plays audible watch and warning alerts, and includes customizable
satellite image retrieval. All maps can be printed, or copied
to the clipboard for pasting into other graphical programs.

Son of Weather Grok is an application that displays weather
conditions for cities from around the world. It taps into
NOAA's (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) data
center using 4 letter ICAO codes for Airports.
Son of Grok will show the temperature, sky conditions, humidity,
wind speed, pressure, ceiling, visibility, and much more.
Weather data is usually updated hourly from NOAA, and you
can set Son of Grok to get this data at specified time intervals.
The data is then displayed in an easy to read format using
fancy-schmancy sky condition illustrations like you see on
the news, along with the details in a small scrolling ticker
and drop down list.

"TopoDraw allows you to draw new waypoints and tracks
directly onto a 2D map simply by pointing and clicking. You
can also use TopoDraw to present navigation data gathered
with your Garmin GPS unit on a 2D map. You can turn any graphics
file into a map for use with TopoDraw. Use any jpeg, gif,
tiff or pict that you find on the internet, export from a
CD-ROM atlas, or scan from a real topographical map.
TopoDraw integrates support for Link2GPS. You can upload
data created with TopoDraw directly to your GPS unit with

"A Mac OS X implementation of Richard Dawkin's Blind
Watchmaker algorithm, designed to show the power of natural
selection to achieve seemingly improbably results. The program
evolves one string into another using selection and random
mutation, demonstrating how fast a result can be achieved
with comparatively little effort. "

Orbitals is completely real-time and interactive. It runs
at 35 frames per second even on a standard iMac, and provides
high graphics quality. Users can directly interact with the
object they are watching. This means real-time mouse-rotating,
changing quantum numbers, zoom and more. With all this features,
Orbitals is still very easy to use.
