Music in the mornings?
I’ve been having a hard time getting up in the morning. Since moving to SLC, I’ve been relying on my cell phone’s alarm clock – not the most pleasant way to wake up in the morning. So I’ve been thinking that music is probably a better plan.
It got me thinking about a clock that I saw on the ISO50 blog a while back – the Porsche Design P´9121 by Etón . I’m a big fan – at least from the front, it’s striking. My friend Adwoa remarked that it’s a very “male” design – I suppose I see what she means, but I’m strangely okay with that. It seems a lot less elegant and graphic in the 3/4 view though – I suspect I’d need to see one in person to judge it. Regardless, the price tag on this puppy is $600 – I’m nowhere near the point that I’d be comfortable spending that much on an alarm clock – I’m not sure I ever will. So for the time being, I will be digging out the radio alarm clock I’ve used since I was in grade school.

The radio alarm will work for now, but it’s old and kinda ugly, so for kicks, thinking about a do-it-yourself approach. A quick Google search yielded a simple alarm from back *way* back in 2005, as seen above. Not a clue how hard it would be – I can’t find any sort of instructions or advice, and I have the very tiniest bit of electrical experience. But I think it may be time to get more – I think I may be wanting to do more some more electrical work in the future.
