Brilliant idea of the week for the sleazy slacker such as myself:
Google Calendar + Data API + home-grown program widget + mp3s = automatic alarm clock.
Imagine never having to set your alarm ever again. Imagine entering meetings, to-dos, plans to go for an early morning run, whatever you desire -
when you think of it - and never having to set your alarm clock when you go to bed. Imagine being slowly woken up to your favourite music with ever-increasing volume, without ever have actually set the alarm yourself?
Sweet.. because really, how much of your life has been thrown down the drain while sitting on the edge of your bed watching the little red numbers cycle through 12am-12pm, 12am-12pm, and then *whoops*, you go past your time and have to do it all over again.
