Oh, and a display of the outside temperature (maybe inside/outside) might be handy - I would add "weather forecast," but where you are, I have a feeling that's not as vital as it is say, around here, where the need for an umbrella or a heavy sweater is important if the weather is going to change drastically in a few hours, or ever the course of your workday!
