+ECO Clima Control Solar Powered Weather Station
By Andrew Liszewski Oregon Scientific’s new +ECO Clima Control weather station will report the effects of global warming, without contributing to them. It’s the company’s first model to feature a solar panel that’s used to charge the device’s 600mAH rechargeable battery. So leaving it out in the sun for just 8 hours will soak up…

Weather Station Shower Mirror – The Forecast Is Rainy And Humid
By Andrew Liszewski When you’re hacking away at your face with a sharp razor I’d suggest staying focused on the task at hand, but if you’d prefer to multitask and be more productive in the mornings, this shower mirror with a built-in weather station will kill a few birds.

WoodStation Weather Forecaster
By Andrew Liszewski I still don’t see the reason why anyone would invest in a standalone weather device when accurate forecasts are available via almost every other gadget on the market, from phones to even the Wii. But the WoodStation manages to somewhat justify its almost $150 price tag since it’s made from a stylish…

Oregon Scientific’s Meteo Weather Forecasting Watch
By Andrew Liszewski One of the things I really liked about the now-defunct MSN Direct service was the weather forecasts delivered directly to my over-sized watch. But I guess this Meteo Watch from Oregon Scientific might be an adequate alternative. Instead of downloading weather data from an over-the-air broadcast, the watch measures and analyzes barometric…

Digital Rain Gauge Improves Upon The Graduated Cylinder
By Andrew Liszewski Outside of scientific and research applications, I’m not really sure why someone would need a rain gauge at home.

Twilight Fiber Optic Umbrellas
By Andrew Liszewski If you feel umbrellas are less about keeping dry, and more about making a fashion statement, these Twilight Umbrellas should at least ensure you stand out in a crowd.
