Oregon Scientific's MR238 combines weather station with mirror

While we'd be the first to admit that it doesn't hold a candle to the mirror that warns you when you're eating or drinking too much, we do like Oregon Scientific's MR238 Mirror Weather Station. The device works like most of OS's other wireless weather stations; you put one unit outside, and you get a digital display showing both indoor and outdoor temps. In this case, however, the display is incorporated into a mirror, rather than a desktop unit. Since both checking the weather and performing our daily ablutions are (usually) part of our morning routine, this is a piece of dual-use technology that we might actually use. Only downside is that the indoor temperature reading will be that of the bathroom where the mirror is, which is hardly useful info.
