I Love Clocky

As a Carnegie Tech alum, it has always been my practice to mock and otherwise dislike MIT students. Part of it is their attitude; "My cult/university is superior to the cesspool from which you spawned." Part of it is jealousy that they are the "name" engineering school, while others (like, perhaps, CMU) are equally deserving of recognition, and perhaps more so.

Clocky has forced me to put that instinct on hold for a bit. Click the link above, if you haven't already, and revel in Clocky's beauty. It is simple, inexpensive, and tremendously useful.

The only problem I can see is battery life. Motoring around takes energy, and batteries are no fun. Still, forking over for some rechargeable AAs is a small price to pay for the promise of a 100% wake-my-ass-up-on-time rate. Congratulations, Ms. Nanda, you have one helluva concept. Now, license/build the dang thing and get it in stores ASAP!
