Joshua Schachter, the man behind del.icio.us asks why have we ignored Alarm Clock UI for so long. “While we have spent much effort to advance the state of timekeeping art, … how it has come to pass that something so universally important to civilized society gets so little attention in terms of use and design.” Okay folks, this is a rant worth reading.

Perhaps it is time to just admit that getting up early in the morning is a holdover from agrarian/pre-articifical lighting days and stop worrying about it. One of the great things about the conference call is that it can be done from bed with an immediate post-call return to sleep. First, let’s be rid of time zones and daylight savings time, then we can worry about what is the appropriate time to wake up and how best to do so.
