Ever find yourself in the position where your favorite TV show comes on in two minutes and you can’t find the remote? I hate that. Now sure, with the advent of digital video players (DVRs) most people are setting their boxes and forgetting it. But you still have to find that damn remote. Then again, if it’s on your wrist you don’t have very far to look, do you?
You all know people who are slaves to the clock: What time is it? What time does it have to be done by? What time are you supposed to be there? Sometimes, you just have to say “Whatever.”
There’s no need to fall in lockstep with the regimens of the bustling bodies outside: With the “Whatever” clock you can reject their meticulous punctualities and chronological obsessions, and just say that one word that can answer all their questions. A great gift for those people who live live at their own time.
What time is it? “Whatever.”
What time does it have to be done by? “Whatever.”
What time are you supposed to be there? “Whatever.”
The “Whatever” clock can be mounted on any wall and measures 1 1/2″L x 7 1/2″W x 7 1/2″H. Pick one up right now…err…or whenever over at X-treme Geek for $24.95.
Okay, there are clocks, and there are kickin’ cool clocks. Then there is the Time Cube, which could easily be a step up from the kickin’ cool clocks category.
At first glance, you might thing the Time Cube is some time machine from the Victorian era. Kind of like that time machine in that recent Time Machine movie, the one with that guy in Memento. That movie wasn’t all that great, and this Time Cube won’t take you to the past or the future, but it will show you the present time.
The Time Clock starts out as a simple box, but then splits into triangles. The largest triangle shows the hours, the medium one shows minutes, and a quick-moving small triangle for the second hand.
Ah, now that Christmas is, for the most part, over and you’ve opened all your gifts, you should concentrate on what you are going to exchange the unwanted gifts for.
Might I suggest you satisfy your inner geek and use that disposable income to purchase the 3-in-1 watch that has a ruler, calculator, and oh yeah, there’s a watch too.
To be honest, this is the first watch that I have seen to ever have a ruler attached. Even though it can only do about six inches, sometimes that is all you need. I suppose a tape measure would have been asking too much.
Even though this is the first watch I’ve seen with a ruler, it is of course not the only one with a calculator. I mean, that really is old news! I remember there used to be this one add on television where you could get it for $19.99. Heck, Michael J. Fox wore one in the Back to The Future films, if you look really close.
I’m wondering if this Vulcania Watch isn’t some Star Trek reference to the planet Mr. Spock is from. After all, it does seem logical for a company to make a watch that looks this cool.
Apparently, the Vulcania is some sort of steampunk reference. I’m clearly not getting this, but perhaps designer Fabrice Gonet was going for something like that.
You can view the time in a few different ways. For example, the hours are seen on the wheel, and the minutes are on the circular dial. There is even a small window to display the day.
The coolest thing is that the owner can view the inner mechanisms of the watch. This is done with some very cool sapphire glass panels on the front, back, and even the sides.
If you’re like me, you set your alarm to go off just before the news and weather reports on the radio. That way, you can lie there and not have to get up yet still get the weather report. But what if it’s one of those mornings where you keep hitting snooze over and over again and you miss the weather? Since I rely on the report to figure out what to wear that day, it’s a bit of a problem if my snoozing ways ruins dressing appropriately for the weather conditions. Who wants to wear a sweater if it’s going to be 70 degrees outside?
The Sharper Image offers the Waterdrop Weather Station Clock. This multi-function alarm clock features U.S. Atomic time and date and an alarm clock setting. With the hands-free infrared sensor, all you have to do to silence the alarm clock and activate a five-minute snooze is to wave your hand in front of the clock’s infrared sensor. (No, waving a rude gesture at the clock will NOT give you more time to sleep!) Activating the snooze will also illuminate the screen for five seconds, giving you a clear view of the time.

Generally, I don’t repot on watches, as they are so…untimely. Yeah, that was pretty stupid, I know. This one caught my eye because it is so untimely.
This is a watch made of parts from the Titanic. That’s right, the Titanic, the ship that sank on its maiden voyage, taking 1,500 lives. I said untimely because this watch would have been cool ten years ago, when Titanic was released into the theatres as one of the biggest movie hits ever.
So, anti-kudos to the Titanic-DNA watch for coming up with something that’s a little too late in the latest fad department. Also, thank you for taking a piece of a history and making a watch on it.
That’s right, the Titanic DNA watch is mad from materials found from the original romantic ship itself. That’s right, those really thick-hulled submarines descended in order to bring up pieces of scrap from history, just to make you a watch. Too bad they couldn’t find the blue Heart of the Ocean jewel.
I’m a person who can not get up for work in the morning without an alarm clock. It is impossible for me to get to work on time without one. (The people who get up without one should be checked for cyberneticts.) Even though I need an alarm clock, that doesn’t mean I can’t geek out with my choice of alarm clock.
ThinkGeek has the Executive Neverlate Alarm Clock. This alarm clock has so many features(full feature set below), I’ll just highlight the main points. Read the rest of this entry »
