Let Your Computer Watch For Auroras!

titus-g writes "Well what with this being the 11th year and all, and getting to the right season for those of us in the N hemisphere to enjoy some nice nights outs getting hypothermia, how about building your own automatic aurora detector? Details are available at http://angwin.ece.uiuc.edu/~haunma/ I would link direct to the detector page but the waterfall pics are quite nice (details and links are near the bottom in the projects section)." Well, for those of us who are frightened by waterfalls, here is the Aurora Monitor Project, "[a]n automatic notification system designed to help you observe the northern or southern lights."

Instead of getting laid in the real world, you're using your computers to look at areolas.
