Progress Bar Clock Concept Transcends Nerdiness by Being Actually Useful [Clocks]

By Dan Nosowitz, 1:30 PM on Sat Aug 22 2009, 12,149 views (Edit, to draft, Slurp)

This progress bar-inspired clock design from Mintpass actually includes a great idea: Clip up to 24 rewritable tabs onto the clock to mark appointments. It's a neat visual organizer on a clock that might otherwise be too gimmicky.

Each tab sets off an alarm that is disabled by turning the tab itself 90 degrees, showing the progress of your day's work along with the actual clock's progress bar. I love the tabs idea: It gives a clear visual demonstration of events that day, and being able to write (and erase? Or just replace?) each item's title is a really nice touch. It wouldn't be as jam-packed as my iCal, but it'd show big items in my to-do list at a glance. So, Mintpass? Please make this thing. [DVICE]

Very cool idea. I would buy one of these if not too pricey. It would be a great idea for a desktop clock as well. forget the clock paradigm, progress bar metaphor would be great.

Posterous added as an official Send To location in Google Reader

Just trying out the new Send To Posterous feature on Google Reader. My blog imports Posterous as well so I'm also looking to see how well that works at getting Google Reader Content into my blog, via Posterous.

Wonder Twins - SDCC Exclusive

According to the article Zan and Jayna will also be available on Mattycollector.com but you can only get gleek with them at the San Diego Comic Con. You got to have gleek. Sigh, this is going to be a tough set to get I bet (for any reasonably priced ammount)

WowWee's Rovio

I think this Wi-Fi enabled streaming camera robot looks very very slick.

From the page WowWee's Rovio gets reviewed: it's one awesome robotic sentry - Engadget:


WowWee goes out of its way to make one thing very clear about the Rovio: "this is not a toy." That being said, it doesn't make the patrolling sentry any less fantastic, as critics over at Robots-Dreams proclaimed that it was "intuitive and a pleasure to use from the moment you first open the box." From the painless setup process to the unparalleled mobility, reviewers sounded like they were grinning from ear-to-ear during the entire writeup process. It performed its robotic sentry duties with vigor and valor, and the review crew couldn't help but note that this bugger was "positioned to be the hottest robot for the upcoming holiday season, and for a long time to come." In other words, if you've been on the fence about dropping three bills on this thing, all your worries about it potentially sucking just got thrashed.
