Over on Boing Boing Gadgets, our John's gone ape for a retro airplane-cockpit-styled alarm clock that does nothing except wake you up and look fabulous. I'm with him -- this stuff makes me want to stand up and salute.
St. Louis Aerial Clock Radio brings 1920s airplane cockpit aesthetic to your bedside table, Discuss this on Boing Boing Gadgets
Absolutely gorgeous. The St. Louis Aerial Clock Radio apes the cockpit control mechanisms of a 1920s airplane, with four separate digital windows displaying the time like an altometer. But that's about it: it's merely a radio and alarm clock, without even a line-in jack or iPod dock connector. £49.95
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
