Smart umbrella forecasts weather

If you live somewhere outside of sunny Southern California you may have to use an umbrella a lot more then, well, never, and one of the worst problems with an umbrella is deciding whether or not there is a good enough chance of rain. If it ends up not raining, then you look stupid for carrying it around everywhere, and if it rains and you don�t have it, then you look stupid and wet. Well now have no fear because your umbrella is getting Accuweather feeds while you�re on the go, and if there is a 60% or more chance of rain, then the handle will pulsate blue. Once the chance of rain gets over 60%, then the blue LED will pulsate that many times per minute. For instance, if you manage to count to 100 pulses in a minute, then you can probably see the rain falling down around, because there is a 100% chance of rain. The Ambient Forecasting Umbrella is perfect for those not in Southern California who can�t seem to figure out when it�s going to rain so they get an umbrella that does all the thinking for them. — Nick Rice
