“Mark” the Start of your Day with the Alarm Clock Slate
Published by Matthew Jeppsen March 10th, 2008 in News, Off Topic, Shopping
“Annnnnnnnd wake!” This is pretty far off-topic, but I had to share it. The Directors Edition Digital Alarm Clock from ChinaVision is a digital clock designed to look like a high-end film slate. And yes, you mark the slate to stop the alarm. Sweet!
Specifications:
* 24 Hour Clock Display (Military Time), Hour, Minute, Second, Deci-Second Display
* Date Display (Day, Month, Year) 10 Minute Alarm Length
* Clapper Motion to End Alarm
* Built in Wall Mount and Destop Hinge
* Dimension: 185 x 225 x 26mm (LxWxD)
I must have one. Get yours here for $36. Oh, and a FreshDV t-shirt goes to the first person to hack the clock to display real data for use on-set.

Great clock, just be careful with the vendor. Chinavasion ripped me off on shipping costs - I paid for UPS delivery, they sent with an inferior mail service which took forever to deliver and had me running all around town with paperwork for customs clearing. UPS would have done all the legwork for me and delivered to door.
Besides, Chinavasion is a broker which means they get a substantial cut (this is why the clock is so expensive) and take time to ship your order. Wish I knew the manufacturer’s address - hacking the clock that you buy direct from factory is much more rewarding than that bought from a reseller.
Ahhh, good to know, George. many thanks for the heads up!

A bit more detailed account of my trials with this shipment can be found at http://www.scottsimmons.tv/blog/2008/01/01/directors-edition-digital-alarm-clock/ . Risk-takers in countries other than Russia may still be willing to buy and hack the clock - it is a smashing idea to make an intelligent clapboard out of it! My daughter who is a video editor likes it just as it is.
I picked one up for my Fiancee for her birthday, but unfortunately it does not include a power adapter for the US, so I have to figure something out for that so she can actually use the thing.
