    Fire

    2258 days ago

    So the fire alarm just went off here in my dorm. I’d just fallen asleep, and had the radio on. It woke me up. At first it was just a faint far off buzzing sound.

    I thought maybe the radio station had gone funny, turned it off. Still there. And growing stronger. I though it must be somebody’s alarm, but it was getting to be goddamn loud for an alarm. I stumbled over to see if it was my roommates. Nope.

    So utterly distressed now, I started shaking my head because I figured it was just my ears ringing. My ears were sure ringing loud.

    About then I noticed a strobe flashing under the door, and opened it, and everyone was leaving. It was a fire alarm, and the first thought through my groggy head was “save the powerbook.”

    I threw on some clothes, and decided that no way was there really a fire. There wasn’t. Someone had apparently smoked up the kitchen cooking a 3am steak.

    The internal alarm clock

    I’ve got this down pat – I haven’t been using an alarm clock for about a year. The only thing I’ve missed was a 6:00 wake up for a soccer tournament I didn’t really want to go to because I had a stress fracture in my leg and running hurt.

    DE-ACCM application note: Hacking an alarm clock

    I’ve been meaning to take apart my alarm clock for a few months now (I wanted to make it sensitive to light, and wake me up gradually as the sun comes in the room) but I don’t have any screwdrivers that fit into it to get the screws out. Here’s another really cool clock idea.
