I was super fortunate to get a chance to speak with Mike Boylan, the creator of Mike’s Weather Page. Many a time have I and my co-workers used the information there to help fine tune response plans.
Found at spaghettimodels.com, Mike’s Weather Page offers a comprehensive collection of tools and data to track weather events. Mike’s Weather Hero journey is truly inspiring. What started as a side project in 2004 has grown into a trusted resource for weather enthusiasts, emergency responders, businesses, citizens, the military and many others.
Mike's dedication to providing accurate and accessible weather information earned him the prestigious Governor’s Hurricane Conference Tropical Meteorology Award in 2021. He is the first private citizen to have been awarded this honor making his achievement even more remarkable.
Mike’s Weather Page helps countless individuals and organizations prepare for and respond to natural disasters. As you’ll hear, Mike’s humility and passion shine through as he tells his story. We get a little weather geeky towards the end as we discuss various hurricane modeling efforts. Mike is well versed in this subject.
Join me, as we get to know Mike and hear his story. Let me know what aspect of Mike's story resonates with you the most?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
