We like strange USB gadgets: Brando’s new gizmo plugs into a USB port and gives you accurate temperature and humidity measurements, on a second-by-second basis, whether you like. It even logs the notes for you, in a spreadsheet-friendly fashion. So that you can, you know, predict whether it’s going to rain on your laptop. perhaps you put a lengthy lead on it, and dangle it out the window? I don’t know. For those of you really into that kind of microclimate info collection, it works amoung -40ºF and 120ºF, measures humidity 0-100% and works with XP/Vista. Available now for $24. [Geek Alerts]
