It is a very special day today, yup, Happy 1500th daily feature! The IEM daily feature started just over 6 years ago and has been entertaining and informing (note the order) the public most every day. The featured image is a montage of individual 6x6 pixels from each daily feature image. You can see how much I love White in the image.

Three years ago, the IEMChat Project was developed as a prototype to fascilitate the real-time collaboration of the operational meteorology sector. Since then we have been riding the S-Curve with the most recent few months becoming the rapid adoption of the project as illustrated by the daily project usage measured in total messages sent over the system. IEMChat is now used from sea to shining sea in parts of nearly every state!

Today is a great day! Today is the celebration of the IEM's 1,000th feature! After 4 years of features, we continue to come up with something interesting and, most importantly, an unique feature title most every day. Since we live in a democracy, you got a chance to vote on the daily feature starting in 2005. It is no coincidence that the highest rated feature is the only one with my picture in it. The irony of the text in that feature was that the camera was nearly hit by a weak tornado in September 2005. Some of my favorite features include: MCC, MCS, MCV equals MESS, A pile of data!, Tornado or Not Tornado?, Insurance Policy, and Hot, Hot, Hot. Care to share yours?

Today is the third anniversary of the IEM Feature. Back in 2002 the daily feature was added as a way to keep people updated with what is going on with the IEM. We have posted 739 features since then and are flattered that so many people enjoy reading it each day. It looks like Mother Nature wishes to commemorate the anniversary with near record warmth today! Temperatures may be even warmer than some of those cold days back in August 2004.
