I've been working on a simple weather station for my father-in-law, but
the rate I'm going, it may be a birthday present, or next Christmas...
Wind speed, direction, temp inside and out, and possibly humidity as I
have a circuit modules omewhere around here for that. I've already done
this as a Stamp project, but I'd like to try it more from scratch.

It makes a cute little ornament/decoration and cost about as much as a greeting card.
