The FroggyBox is a sensor-pack in a plasitc frog with a serial interface (a wireless USB adapter is available), containing a thermometer, a barometer and an hygrometer -- basically everything you need to turn a PC into a weather station, especially when you add their forthcoming wireless plastic rooster, which contains an anemometer, weathercock, and heliograph.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
