Everything you need to get your day started on a weather forecasting station you’ll want to keep in your bedroom. Why the bedroom you ask?
Well, besides telling inside temperature, outside temperature, and the weather forecast for 12-24 hours… its also an alarm clock and radio.
One excellent feature is this clock sets itself every night to the time server in Boulder, so you’ll never ever have to set this clock. It even changes to accommodate daylight savings!
How could it get better? The illuminated touchscreen tops this unit off for super slick features.
So wake yourself up and when you turn off the alarm, you’ll know everything you need to know about the weather to get your day off on the right foot.

Boy I wish this was around when I was huntng down where the carpenter ants were that invaded my house. I used the old fashioned method - keep tearing down walls until you find ‘em.I still got sheetrock to replace.

If you use rechargeable batteries you are certain to find this gadget interesting…
The AlphaPower charger operates in four modes for optimal battery performance and longer life. Newer batteries are completely discharged and recharged once when no maintenance is necessary. To rejuvenate older batteries, the AlphaPower charger’s “Refresh” mode discharges and recharges batteries 20 times; bringing most older batteries back to life
Features four LCD displays that indicate how much longer until batteries are ready for use, and a test mode to tell you how much power is left in each battery !
Best of all is the price - which at $39.99 is fantastic.
Summer storms are on the way - though it sure doesn’t feel summery right now where I am. Should you lose power - this flashlight with an identity crisis comes to the rescue!
an ultra-bright LED flashlight, digital AM-FM radio, and weather-band radio with NOAA severe weather alert feature. There’s also a digital clock with calendar, and even a built-in thermometer. If the batteries get low during use, use the built-in crank handle to operate and charge the unit.
at $49.95 it’s a pretty good buy.
On the other end of the spectrum of alarm clocks is this interesting little guy, its fully controlled by your voice. The voice activation is prompted by the trigger phrase, “Alarm Clock,” enabling you to hear the current time, listen to recorded memos, turn on the night light function, and find out how many alarms are set using the following voice commands; “What time is it,” “Play Memo,” “Night Light,” or “Any Alarms.” The snooze function is activated without requiring the use of the trigger phrase by saying “Snooze,”
While this wouldn’t be so good for me - some of you might have the strength of will to deal with such an intelligent clock. (I’d get one if it had a “nag” feature)
Heres a neat little gadget - its a clock that runs on nothing but water. Nice large LCD displays time, month and date. A great way to go green even if just a little.
