Arduino kit beams low-fi Google Weather to VGA screens

Trying to find another approach to use that aging VGA CRT screen hogging space the closet? Try making your individual dedicated weather screen by mixing together Google’s meteorological data stream and a few Arduino magic. It appears like parsing that Google Weather data was a little a challenge at the miniscule 2KB of RAM, but a tinkerer going by the handle Zmashiah has managed to do it. He’s even managed to cram in a couple of extra graphical flourishes, including icons and background themes that modify counting on the temperature and time of day. The entirely PC-free device grabs the info through an Ethernet connection and flashes up your complete weather goodness in stunning VGA. Any meteorological mavens reading this will grab the complete shopping list and procedure on the Instructables link below.
