Kenneth Finnegan has been working on thermocouple adapter called SerialCouple:
The SerialCouple line of boards are simple, easy to use single-channel thermocouple adapters, meant to be an interface between a thermocouple and a computer or other embedded system. Shown in the pictures are the model one boards, which are meant to be plugged into FTDI-like USB-to-Serial adapters, but a second model based on RS-232 is in the works.
Via the forum.
To think I just finished the PCB design for one such module :P
