TIX Color Code LED Clock, Black Review
Review of TIX Color Code LED Clock, Black.
Price: 47.95 USD
Manufacturer: Cube Root
TIX Color Code LED Clock, Black – Product Warranty:
Product Type: Weather & Time > Desk_Wall_Clocks
To the uninitiated, it looks like just an attractive piece of contemporary LED art. But to the clued-in, it’s one clever clock. Once you crack the “code” of its display (dramatically revealed in the sentence), you’ll see how easy and fun the TIX Clock is to read. You simply count the number of colored, LED-illuminated squares in each of the four fields on the brushed chrome faceplate! The fields correspond to the four numbers on a digital clock. So in the picture at left, the time is 12:36. Get it? And whoever coined the phrase “time stood still” wasn’t referring to the TIX! While it does have a “static” mode, you can also set it to change which squares are illuminated in each field every second or minute, creating an ever-changing pattern that always indicates the correct time. Whether adorning a desktop or mounted on a wall, the TIX Clock gives time a new twist. Includes AC adapter. 10-1/4″x3″x1″. Black.

Galileo Thermometer with Barometer Globe Review
A review of Galileo Thermometer with Barometer Globe.
Price: 24.95 USD
Manufacturer: Chaney
Galileo Thermometer with Barometer Globe – Product Warranty:
Type of Product: Weather & Time > Weather Instruments
This beautiful Galileo thermometer reads temperatures from 64 degrees Farenheit to 80 degrees Farenheit. When temperature rises, the liquid inside the glass tube becomes less dense, causing the colorful, liquid-filled bulbs to sink one by one. When the room cools, the reverse occurs and the bulbs start to rise. Read the gold medallion on the lowest bulb in the uppermost group of bulbs to get the current temperature. The thermometer is paired with an etched glass barometer globe. Variations in barometric pressure are associated with weather systems and these changes are immediately revealed by the water level in the spout. A low level of liquid in the spout indicates high-pressure and fair weather ahead. A high liquid level means bad weather is imminent. Mounted on a wooden base, this pair makes a handsome desk or maltlepiece accessory and a definite conversation piece. Size: 10″H x 4 1/2″W x 8″D, weighs 2.6 lbs.

Oregon Scientific Crystal Weather Station Review
Review of Oregon Scientific Crystal Weather Station.
Price: 99.95 USD
Manufacturer: Oregon Scientific
Oregon Scientific Crystal Weather Station – Product Warranty:
Type of Product: Weather & Time > Wireless Weather Stations
If only the TV weatherman were this clear and concise. This eye-catching weather station features a crystal block with laser-engraved 3-D icons representing the Sun, clouds, and rain. One of them will be illuminated at any given time, with light projected from the base, to indicate the weather forecast for the next 12 to 24 hours. Each icon illuminates in a different color – red for sunny, blue for cloudy, and green for rainy – revealing the weather status at a glance, even from across the room. The midnight-black base displays LED time and indoor temperature readings, which can be set to alternate automatically or with a wave of your hand over the built-in infrared sensor. It plugs into any 110-volt wall outlet with the included AC adapter. If you want the dew point and an animated satellite image and the pollen index and a five-day forecast, all served up by a talking head, grab a TV dinner and turn on the Weather Channel. But if you’d prefer an elegantly simple, high-tech home weather station that’s also a classy conversation piece, get the Oregon Scientific Crystal Weather Station. Dimensions: 7″ x 4.5″ x 1.5″
