Stuff To Pimp Your Cubicle
Ambient Weather Beacon
Never see the light of day? This ambient device will keep you posted on all that you're missing as you wither under the florescent lights. It updates itself wirelessly, changing color and pulsing to reflect the latest weather forecasts. It uses the same color scheme as the Weather Channel -- green for temps in the 40s, orange for 60s, etc. You can also use the device to track other important information, like the stock market's ups and downs, and whether outside conditions are ideal for golfing. Sadly, you won't be playing
