Blinging in the Rain

Winter's coming. Days are getting shorter; it's getting chilly and threat of rain looms. Sure, you could check out the weather report in the morning before you leave the house, but then you lose that extra five minutes of sleep that are oh, so important.

For those who enjoy the warmth of their bed more than sitting through the weather reports of zany morning television hosts, here is the Ambient Forecasting Umbrella. The umbrella's handle has a built-in receiver that retrieves daily weather reports from Accuweather.com. A blue LED light on the handle will flash to let you know the exact possibility of precipitation. The more likely the chance of rain, the quicker it flashes!
