# Radio-controlled
Get time from sattelites, so it sets itself to the right date and time automatically.
Very handy, just a bit strange that every tuesday is 'die'-day.

I guess the days are in German. Wednesday is 'mit' and Thursday is 'don'.

# a black LED alarm clock
that you can't see at night without pressing the light button. Useful.

I have a lovely red LED with extra big numbers so I don't have to squint to realise that I still haven't been able to get to sleep despite it being 04:30 AND THAT I HAVE TO FUCKING GET UP IN 2 HOURS TO DRIVE 80 MILES TO WORK

# this could be the answer
I put blackout blinds in our bedroom. Now at night the entire room is lit up by LED's and other standby lights and smoke alarms etc all bouncing around off the chrome fittings

# Yeah, but I'm sort of a clock addict.
A quick count shows five clocks in my room, plus my watch, mobile phone and computer.

Ooh, I haven't changed two of the clocks yet.

Edit: one of the clocks is a mirror, the display behind it lights up when you clap your hand or touch it. Also, my BlackBerry shows a nice clock when I put it in the charging cradle next to my bed.

# No, I'm a gadget addict.
With too much money.

I currently have: 42" HD TV, Over-the-top computer with 24" HD Touchscreen, tons of MP3-players, flash-drives and battery chargers, two notebooks, a laser pinter, a inkjet printer that prints on cd's, a PS3, a Dymo LabelWriter, a beamer, a picobeamer, an HD videocamera, four mobile phones (I only use one), four pc-remotes, and so on. EDIT: I forgot my portable dvd-player and my decibel meter.

Too bad I can't buy a girlfriend :'-(

# My bad: 'picoprojector'
It's a miniature beamer. Like this, but mine's just a little box, instead of a phone.
