Weather Station Tracks Past Weather on Your PC For Some Unknown Reason
This Oregon Scientific weather station records the weather as it happens. It then plugs into your computer and uploads recent weather data. So if you happen to forget that it was hot in July, you can spend a lot of money and go through an elaborate process to remember. I… don't get it.

Here's Oregon Scientific's next trick with atomic alarm clocks that tell you the old in/out temperature and forecast, and this one has a motion sensor that reacts to your presence. When you're viewing the Oregon Scientific Weather In Motion from a distance, it tells you the day of the week and the time in big numerals, with an icon showing you its interpretation of the weather forecast. Move a little closer, and it helpfully gives you more info about the inside and outside temperature (gathered from a wireless module), moving the time data to a smaller size. If you'd rather not feel like you're under surveillance by a goddamn clock, set it to dissolve between one display and the other every five seconds. Neat stuff for 50 bucks.

Oregon Scientific Weather Hub Predicts the Weathery Future
This little device from the weather junkies at Oregon Scientific is like bringing a desktop widget to real life. It has two circular displays that will display the current temperature and the upcoming temperature. It does the magic future-predicting with an internal barometer. I wish it included Wi-Fi or something to more accurately predict the weather over the net, but for $20 I'm not expecting much. More »

Sneak Peak: Updated Oregon Scientific DP100 Projection Clock
Oregon Scientific has had the DP100 projection clock available available for a while now, but an update is already in the works. We snuck our way into the super secret back room at the Oregon Scientific booth and caught a glimpse of the DP100's taller and rounder brother. They were hush-hush about the updated projection clock, but it still looks nicer than the blocky DP100.

Talking Thermometer Won't Guilt You For Eating Wilbur
If your meat could talk, it would probably scream in a high pitched voice about the cruelty of slaughterhouses, the pain of being cooked on the grill, and the indignity of being eaten by a chubby guy in an A1-stained "Vote for Pedro" t-shirt. Which is why there's no technology out there to give a voice to the silent meat population, natch. More »

Faces of Extreme Death: Oregon Scientific's Sweet ATC2K Helmet Cam
Just in time for snowboarding season is Scientific Oregon's Xtreme helmet cam. It's waterproof, uses SD cards, and shoots at 640 by 480 at 30FPS. It's half the size of the original cam, the not so good ATC-1000, notorious for shipping inside of a fully stocked first aid kit. This one also has an LCD showing, presumably, time left to live as your heroic-exploit video turns into a snuff flick. And... More »

Oregon Scientific Giovannoni Weather Station: Italian Designed Forecaster
Oregon Scientific hired famous (to someone) designer, Stefano Giovannoni, to come up with their latest of their 123423523452345998 weather monitoring clocks. The guy is a sci-fi fanatic, and you can see the influence on the front panel's Star War-ish design. It reads off indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity, a forecast for the day, and your X-wing's remaining shield power. The atomic clock is self setting, and sleepyheads will want to note that the snooze lasts only 8-minutes. (When someone makes a 2-hour snooze button, I'll be happier.) More »

Oregon Scientific Handheld Weather Forecaster
In what could be described as something that looks like a MyFi but without the XM, Oregon Scientific's Handheld Weather Forecaster and Alarm clock makes going outside to see if it's raining a thing of the past (as if people did that any more anyway). For about $40 you get a handheld device that displays numerous weather-related facts on the unit's HiGlo illuminated LCD. Need to know the humidity so your hair doesn't look like Larry Fine's? What about the phase of the moon, so you don't accidently go outside and have the whole town running after you with silver bullets? More »

It's Not a Car But. ..
In the old days it was enough to have a Ferrari poster in your bedroom. But for today's pubescent teens, it's all about Ferrari branded gear like this FMP160 MP3 player. It's put out by our favorite weirdo clock-maker Oregon Scientific. Can't say there's much here other than a red, rubberized case and Ferrari tag. But if that gets you going, it also comes with 1GB of Flash memory, support for MP3, WMA, WMA DRM 9 and WAV files and a USB 2.0 connection. Goes for $230 and comes with gorgeous matching pouch, geeky lanyard and headphones. More »
