No, I've got plenty on my plate right now.

The DS1921 is one thing that never worked out. Initially it sold for about
$12 and I thought it would be a good way to get a battery backed RTC with a
10-year life and a temperature probe all in one. Unfortunately, there were
problems with early models and they stopped shipments. Once Maxim "fixed" it
they doubled the price. I never got mine to work (which may have been my
code) and decided it was not worth the effort at $25 a pop.
