Star The Snow Clock
Linked by Kroc Camen on Wed 1st Jul 2009 18:31 UTC
Hardware, Embedded Systems "Snow days are great, but generally you still have to wake up to find out if it is a snow day. [insingertech] decided to make a system to solve this problem. He made an alarm clock that would automatically de activate if school is cancelled. What a pleasant surprise it would be to just wake up and find that you had been allowed to sleep in. It is using an Arduino and a python script to control the state of the alarm based off of an online school closing announcement. You can download the software from the instructable." Via Hack-a-Day

Why is this on OSNews at all? This is the most useless post in a while, for a most useless homebrew piece of hard/software.

Yet you still found it important enough to read and compose a reply. ;)
