Audio Spotlighting
To complicate things i found the perfect technology for my alarm clock that unfortunately detracts from my original light based concept.
This tech enables sound to be directed to a specific place and its application as an alarm clock that doesnt wake a sleeping partner is perfect.

Saturday in Design
Fortunately I live in Surry Hills and could walk around to a few of the showrooms during Saturday in Design, despite being tied down with work. I visited Artemide on Cleveland St, then Warehouse 625 and then the studios on Flinders St. While it was a good incentive to get me to see some of these showrooms, i had already seen half of them. I have to admit the studio space in Warehouse 625 which is usually empty was nice to finally explore, and the free food was a bonus. There was a student who won the chance to show her piece on Flinders st and it was inspiring talking to her about it. Otherwise i felt the whole event was geared to interior designers and architects where companies were simply marketing in over-drive for the event. There were some inspiring and beautiful pieces but all in all it was a bit of a wank and i was embarrassed to wear the bright orange lanyard around the streets of Surry Hills (though i did have the option of catching a mini-bus the 200 metres up South Dowling!)

Alarm Clock development
I saw a light by Edo in Surry Hills today which could help me solve my problem (switching the alarm clock to an upright stance)
it looks very sharp. the light is a row of LEDs that shine from a strip cut out of the bottom of the horizontal tube.
If i went with a similar shape i am thinking i could put the clock face on the vertical section so that its read sideways and therefore easily read when in bed. I then have to figure out how you will read the time easily when your upright......
on a side note there was this awesome studi italia lamp there too which you move with a magnet from outside the glass.
