A portable electronic device includes a housing including a computer communication interface and a controller configured for generating, onboard the portable electronic device, a current measure of dynamic information. The portable electronic device also includes a memory storing the current measure and a website address. The controller includes a keyboard emulator providing keystroke data over the computer communication interface to launch an internet browser, navigate to the website address, and transmit the current measure.
