The DHT22 sensor is pretty bulky - but it is cheap. Take a look at other breakout boards from Adafruit, Sparkfun, etc for
other alternatives.

Here is what the log data looks like (2000mAh battery - approx 21 hours - in my office, all day and overnight)

##Bonus Tip...

[Sistema](http://sistemaplastics.com/) is a New Zealand company that makes plastic lunch boxes, food containers, etc.

It turns out that their small *KLIP IT* containers make great cases for Arduino projects. They are relatively cheap and
come with clips and a rubberized seal. I've not tested how weather proof they are in real conditions but they look
really good.

Their [200 ml Rectangular box #1520](http://sistemaplastics.com/products/klip-it-rectangular/200ml-rectangular2) can handle a *two* board stack and
the [400ml Rectangular box #1540](http://sistemaplastics.com/products/klip-it-rectangular/400ml-rectangular) box can handle a *four* board stack.

Add a bit of foam or something like that to hold your project in place. The plastic is easy to work with if you want to
drill holes, etc.
