Ora ilLegale Clock Elegantly Handles Daylight Savings Time Adjustments

If you ask me, the supposed ‘pros’ of daylight savings don’t even come close to outweighing the ‘cons’ of having to change all my clocks twice a year. Even if these days the only device that doesn’t adjust itself is my microwave, and I never program that clock anyways. (It’s the principle dammit!) But if every clock was as easy to adjust as the Ora ilLegale, which you simply tip to the left or right, I might be more accepting of DST.

The clock was designed by Denis Guidone, and while it only exists as a fancy render at this point, it will eventually be produced by NAVA. But let’s be frank, you can probably save yourself a boatload of money with nothing more than a block of wood, a jigsaw and a DIY clock kit.

Three Sixty Table Is A Lazy Susan For Skaters

By Andrew Liszewski

Here’s another piece of cleverly designed furniture that you could probably just build yourself in order to save a boatload of cash. The Three Sixty Table was designed by Studio Mauerer Hendrichs and features three sets of trucks and wheels from a skateboard (and a half) allowing the 40-inch glass top to rotate just like a lazy susan. But if a weekend spent sawing, drilling and stealing decks from the local hood rats isn’t your thing, you can just go ahead and buy one in your choice of German oak or walnut wood finish from The Future Perfect for $1,795.

Palm’s Mojo SDK for webOS in pictures


Okay, look, we like the Pre. We like it a lot, actually — but failing our ability to get hold of one of those any time soon, we’ll gladly take a boatload of screenshots in its place. These shots, taken from a late-2008 copy of the Mojo SDK, show some core goodies like messaging and Synergy contact management — there’s still a lot of stuff missing, yes, but this version has been floating around for a few months now, so the build demonstrated on Pres at CES was likely a good deal fresher. Head over to Engadget Mobile for the full gallery!

Big thanks to Boy Genius for hooking us up with shots from his tipster!
