The truly geeky thing to do would be to ignore the weather because you'rer too busy coding.

Well, I did write a little script that tells me the temperature from my computer so that I don't have to get up and walk to the door or look out the window! Recent result:


Current time: Nov 01, 11:01 am CDT

Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport
A Few Clouds 43°F (6°C)


Barring that, a reasonable alternative would be to convert NOAA weather maps to ASCII art and transmit them to your Atari 2600 through a hacked up game port. Any takers?
