Yeah, I went deep into the rabbit-hole… It was thinking “I wonder if I can add this thing, and this thing…” and pretty soon I end up with this.
You can move the different windows around, turn on/off windows, play videos, drag weather map into a new location, and read some quotes from SJ.

Wow that is really great. It looks cool and moving everything feels really smooth.

I’m trying to understand a situation where I would need to know the weather, get a Steve Jobs quote, AND learn about an obscure British band. I’ll have to think on that.

Looks like https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com is down again… weather forecast not coming through.
Slick! A “desktop” full of “apps” would make a great portfolio page. It’d be interesting to see the menu bar working. Perhaps a semi-functional “browser” using iframes, too.
Rabbit hole indeed.

That’s a good idea… never thought of that approach.
I think the calculator, various tic-tac-toe, pomodoro timer and simon says game will be great additions to my “desktop”

Added “Wikigle” to my portfolio… the wikipedia search engine/viewer.
Added Wikigle icon.
Added background music from the Tribute page
All window/frames can now be moved (including the weather map)
All window now are properly stacked over on top of one another, when you click and move it.
