Granted the USB thermometer won’t be standard gadget gear for the average geek, but for the ubergeek, the USBFever TEMPer thermometer is a must have.
Designed for ease and convenience the TEMPer USB thermometer simply plugs into a USB port and records the ambient air temperature of a room. Although a prudent geek wouldn’t plug the Temper directly into a computer the device does ship with a USB cable to separate the monitoring device from the host computer (avoid radiant heat).
The Temper USB thermometer tests and records temperatures between -20C to over 100C (4F to 212F) and ships with configurable software to record intervals as frequent as 1 second or every 12 hours. The data can then be exported into Word or Excel for number crunching.
This super geek gadget is $19.99 with $3.00 shipping anywhere in the world.
