Zen Alarm Clock

Questions about waking up on time seem to come up in Life Hacks circles pretty often. I've wanted to try one of those "Zen Alarm Clocks" that wakes you up with a series of chimes of increasing frequencies, but they're quite expensive, so I made a virtual one. It's a sound file that you can either schedule your computer to play (if you can hear it from bed), or put on a CD or tape for use in a clock radio or whatever. Share and enjoy, and give me feedback if you'd like.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
