GeekSugar — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 07:03:45 -0800

I absolutely love cool clocks, and this one is no exception. For some Sunday fun, check out the Scroll Clock by toki woki. I've provided you with a sneak peek below, but basically it's a visual masterpiece, consisting of many tiny moving scroll bars - just like the ones you use when surfing the web!

QlockTwo Clock: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 15:45:47 -0700

Forget old, traditional clocks with those lame arms - the QlockTwo (around $1,200) timepiece is breaking all the rules over here. Set in a wooden box with a custom color glass face, this clock uses little lightup words to tell you the time in five-minute increments. Not only does it give you an update every five, but for all you traditionalists who need a more accurate quote, you can check the little (more familiar) clock in the bottom corner.

Need the time my friend? Well, it is five to 11. Says so right there. But you're on your own for the a.m. and p.m. specification.

The Forecaster Clock Acts As Your Personal Weatherman

I thought I had found the solution to weather updates with Umbrella Today - a neat site that will text you when you need to take an umbrella with you that day. Guess again!

A new little invention called the Weather Man Forecaster Clock ($43) features weather forecast icons (sunny, cloudy, rainy) and a cute little weatherman guy that comes with 15 different outfits, so you know exactly what to expect when you walk outside. Other features include an alarm clock, sunrise and sunset times, and barometer pressure trends. It doesn't get any easier than that!

Robot Clock: He'll Solve Your Daylight Savings Time Problems

GeekSugar — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 06:00:01 -0800

Clocks are on my mind this week as my body and schedules continue to be out of whack because of Daylight Savings. I'm thinking of just chucking out all my clocks and getting new ones, because I am that freaked out.

First on the replacement list? This Robot Clock ($36).

Robots are calm, unemotional, immune to Seasonal Affective Disorder. Just get me to work on time, robot.

Photo Frame Clock: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 15:45:01 -0700

I'm pretty good with my snap judgments on things, but this I really don't know about. On the one hand, it's a creative way to display photos and read time, but it's a clock . . . with photos in it.

The Photo Frame Clock is $40 from Target, and one thing I am certain about is that it would make a great gift. Er, should I make that gag gift?

I'm perplexed. What do you think?

The Font Clock, For the (Rich) Font Lover in You

GeekSugar — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 10:05:02 -0700

The love for fonts goes deep here at geeksugar, whether it's for the freebies or the eager identification.

Now you can express it (albeit steeply) with the Font Clock ($450), which has twelve different classic fonts inside of it.

You get the retro design of a classic flip clock (also beloved here), with the satisfaction of identifying what design is used to tell you it's half past midnight.

Geek Tip: The TiVo Clock Easter Egg

GeekSugar — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 10:00:08 -0700

Easter eggs are rad little treats for geeks; others may ask what the point is, but you know: They're just cool. This Easter egg is for TiVo users, and while the result is not mind-blowing, it's handy and practical, and you'll probably know about it before any of your friends, so here we go!

Press Select, Play, Select, 9, Select. A little TiVo clock will pop up in the bottom right corner so you can check the time.

Of course, you can just click one button - Info - and get the time, but then you also block the top of the screen with all the other program info, and the other main reason you'd want to do this is simple: Because you can.

Cool, Funny, and Sometimes Annoying Alarm Clocks

GeekSugar — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 11:00:17 -0700

As hard as it is to get out of your warm and comfy bed in the mornings, you might as well wake up to a cool clock to start your day off right. Clocks can add some serious personality and design to a room, but the dreaded alarm can be a thorn in your side on those days when you just want to stay under the covers. If you hit the snooze five times every morning like me, you need some clock-to-human interaction to get you out of bed, rather than just pounding the heck out of the snooze on your old clock. Hence, I've compiled a list of clocks that are not only functional to tell time, will help you rise and shine, but that lend a geeky touch to the bedroom as well.

Enter Key Wall Clock: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 07:00:19 -0700

Here's a cute clock that both geeks and non-geeks can enjoy equally. The ENTER command clock, which I found on 7Gadgets, is guaranteed to add a touch of tech to your living or work space-something I could really use above my desk! Each clock costs only $15 and measures 10" H x 10" W. Too geeky or geek chic?

D-Day Count Down Clock Keeps You On Track

GeekSugar — Sat, 25 Aug 2007 08:00:58 -0700

If the online 'Seinfeldian Chain' method of marking days on your calendar is too laborious for you, you may want to consider the D-Day Count Down Clock.

Sure, its name sounds utterly depressing, but the clock's shape (it looks like a real movie set slate) provides a sense of glamor and productivity. The clock keeps track of all your life’s special moments, using the motto that "you are the star of your own life." While it has normal digital calendar and clock functions, you can also program it to countdown to special days or goals.

Cute for an office or kid's room, no?
