This cool new Author Clock has an easy-to-read, paper-like e-ink display that tells the time through a matching classic literary quote for every single minute of the day. It chooses each passage that mentions the current time from a library of over 13,000 literary quotes that span seven centuries and six continents, has built-in wi-fi for automatic updates, can be set to allow explicit quotes to make the latest minute a little extra spicy, and multiple languages can be chosen. The clock is housed within a white oak frame, has a polished brass base and crown to adjust the settings, and two sizes are available depending on whether you want to place it on your bedroom nightstand or hang it on the wall. Check out the video below to see it in action.

The Flying Alarm Clock

The Flying Alarm Clock is quite possibly the most annoying and frustrating alarm ever created. When the alarm sounds, it launches a spinning rotor 9 feet up into the air. The alarm will not turn off until you wake up, get out of bed, fetch the lost rotor, which could have landed anywhere in the dark, and return it to the clock base. By forcing you to think about finding that missing rotor and making you stumble around the bedroom, you have a much better chance of actually staying awake.
