This is really slick. Not just the product itself but also the way Kickstarter has, well, given this project a huge kick start. I don't normally wear a watch but I may just think about it now.

On a side note, this is designed by MINIMAL, a design shop in Chicago. Some really great designs coming from here. Didn't realize that they were the ones behind the iBelieve lanyard for the iPod Shuffle from way back in the day. I can't find their site any more but I remember them also having a very clean single page design for ordering it.

Don't know if I can blame this one on global warming but it was a crazy November 15th weather-wise in Oakland. 74F at 4:21pm (as high as 78F earlier that day). Sorry Seattle folks!

I'm increasingly getting a lot of my Oakland related news from OaklandNorth.net. Very focused and well written articles about the comings and goings here in The Town. Oaklanders should definitely add this to their website reading rotation (or add to your favorite RSS reader).
