I noticed today that the Sesame Street Terror Alert thing was busted today. It was a sad day. But, I tracked down the XML Web Service they were querying to get the current Terror Alert level, straight from dhs.gov.
So, I whipped up my own version using the images I still had cached, so we are using that now instead.
Though, since it is now mine, I can do whatever the heck I want to with it to really make it crazy :D
If you want to use it on your site, just plug in the following as the source to a standard HTML image tag:
http://www.sprigler.com/services/terror.aspSo, something like this:
<img src="http://www.sprigler.com/services/terror.asp?q_set=finalfantasy">
If you look at the homepage of the Sprigler Collective or my blog, you'll see what you get as an end result.
I've added a few options as well. So, if you get bored, you can come up with your own, you just
need 5 images, and i'll set it up for ya :D
The 5 levels are low, guarded, elevated, high, and severe.
I also added an option to see the full set of images for whatever set you speficy:
