Sometimes it would be cute to have a themometer in the office. Provided you are not concerned about the power usage. This project creates a DVD with a number of pictures each containing a temperature and some graphics. They are accessed by pressing keys on the remote control. But the temperature sensor emulates the remote to choose the correct page based on the current temperature. Cute idea I think…. Not quite as cool as my XBox, but right now I dont have a temperature sensor connected to it either.

MobileMag has a press release for an add-on for Motorola Cell Phones. According to the site, this device allows you to add up to 8 GBytes of Flash Memory to a phone. I am still trying to work out why you would need so much memory on your phone… 8 GBytes. My cellphone has 32 MBytes and I am not used 31 of them, so I think this is slight overkill.
