Phidgets is a system for connecting various sensors to your computer via USB. They have a number of modules, and programming itnerfaces in a few languages. They're reasonably priced as well. Among the modules they sell are force sensors, light sensors, touche sensors, LCD displays, RFID modules, rotary encoders, and weight sensors. Handy when you want to interface to a PC and don't want to build your own microcontroller module.
