We've all heard of and probably seen potato clocks, which were (perhaps still are) digital clocks powered by electrodes stabbed into a potato or two. I had one on my desk years ago, and it runs fine until the potatoes start to rot. I switched to potted plants, and it worked there too as long as I remembered to water them...until the electrodes corroded, that is.

Anyway, in a significant one-upsmanship, how about a Potato powered web server? It's gone offline now because the author got tired of replacing rotten potatoes, but still... beats any battery powered microcomputer I've ever had or seen. Green power too, as long as you compost the rotten potatoes.

Weather here is threatening, rumbly, and breathless. Humid, though not terribly hot, and just waiting for rain. So far just a little drizzle, though.
