When we were in seventh grade, many, many, many, many moons ago, we enrolled in our school’s first-ever computer science class. It was fun. We programmed in BASIC, and made our Commodore 64s say embarrassing things out loud about our classmates. Like, in the middle of Mr. McCurdy’s lecture, someone’s computer would blurt out that “RICH-IE ROD-RI-GUEZ IS A PO-SER.” That always got a big laugh.
Our big project for the semester was to build an electronic weather station. We got divided into teams, and each team was responsible for a different component. One group had to design and build a rainfall gauge; another would make something to measure the wind direction and speed. It was all supposed to feed data into our computers where they’d be organized and displayed in a coherent way.
Well, to make a long story short, the station never got built. We soldered a few little bits of circuitry together, but we never came anywhere near realizing Mr. McCurdy’s original vision of an operational meteorological data center on the roof of our school. As it turns out, it’s just as well. Because we only had to wait 20 years or so to see the Thermor Home Weather Station, which is everything we kids were trying to build and more.
Once you set it up, it measures indoor and outdoor temperature, wind speed and direction, rainfall, barometric pressure and other weather-y stuff. If you go for the BIOS station, it’ll display the key meteorological conditions on your television screen or PC monitor. (True meteorology nerds might prefer this model, as it comes with cool weather-analyzer software.) If you get the version with the home monitor, your current weather conditions will be displayed on that. Either way, you get detailed, ultra-local weather reports without having to put up with any of the annoying hairspray test subjects that usually deliver such information on TV.
You know, the other reason we aren’t too broken up about our failure to manufacture a working electronic weather station is that all it would have gotten us was a one-day sale on Woot. Nice as this item is — and it is nice — it’s not exactly the new iPhone, is it? Its designers are probably not basking on a beach somewhere, lapping shots of rum from the smalls of Brazilian bikini models’ backs. So it’s not like we missed our big break.
Plus, it’s better for the consumer that we weren’t the ones to build this thing as children. It’s put together much more solidly than the rickety hunkajunk we were working on. Boy, were we hopeless with the soldering gun! It was a mess. You have to believe that the Chinese kids who assembled the components in this thing are much better craftsmen than we were back then. I mean, they’re professionals.
