ATC5K: We're Way Too Chicken to Use this Helmet Camcorder

We're not really that extreme. Wait...we're on the internet and can be whoever we want to be...

We're so fucking XTREME. When we skydive without parachutes into our kayaks, we always tape our adventures on the Oregon Scientific ATC5K camera! Sure, its 640 x 480 resolution at 30fps doesn't sound amazing, but it can withstand rain and snow while recording our adventures on an SD card. And once we've exhausted our supply of 50% Red Bull/50% Mt. Dew out of our CamelBak, we can relive the adrenaline rush by watching our adventures on the ATC5K's 1.5-inch screen!! (A rarity in helmet cams.) For the rest of you couch potatoes, the ATC5K will be available for $199 this August.

Oregon Scientific Delivers Watch for Serious Weather Addicts

When it comes to forecasting the weather, I often think that sticking a moistened finger into the air is about as accurate as all of that fancy doppler radar. However, there is no shortage of weather addicts out there that religiously check the news and treat weathermen like they were friggin' prophets. It appears that Oregon Scientific has developed a weather forecasting watch made specifically for these types of people. More »

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.

Oregon Scientific Weather In Motion Clock Keeps an Eye on You and the Weather

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. –Travis Hudson 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. –Travis Hudson

Oregon Scientific's WMS802 WeatherNow II uses free data broadcast from MSN Direct to show you the temperature, wind speed, the high and low for the day and a three-day forecast.
