Time Change

Ah, I never remember the time change. Actually, I was thinking it was probably this weekend, but for some reason thought it was Sunday night, not morning.

My stupid phone alarm, which supposedely has a monday through friday wake-up call occasionally decides that weekends qualify under this constraint, and went off at 6:30. To make matters worse, said phone also does not set the time automatically...so it was actually 5:30.

Gotta love technology.

Speaking of technology, have you seen this lovely chesnut?


It's a solar-powered haloween lantern from Fright Catalog. Now, I have to admit it would be really fun to have this for my lawn (if I had a lawn) on Haloween. The big question that comes to mind is: where the heck do you put it the other 364 days of the year? Might be nice to epoxy it to the trunk of the car...

The other thing that I find interesting is this: Does it really matter that something I use once a year is solar powered? Does the pollution saved in batteries actually counter the additional manufacturing pollution it takes to make solar cells? Then again, why can't I just have a cord?
