An alarm clock with NTP. Finally. It reminds me of a Pip-Boy. Consider integrating a light source in to it and maybe some USB outs for charging

This seems like more than just an alarm clock with NTP; it's got weather and stuff.

Sorry for self promotion, but If you want an alarm clock with NTP and iCal, you might take a look at my project. https://github.com/russor/ClockThing I'll try to get some pictures up soon.

Indeed TimeChief is a Smart Clock with rich features planning a closed beta early next year followed by open beta. Currently:

* 90s aesthetic theme

* Configuration GUI

* Weather integration

* Google calendar integration

* Retro sound synthesis

Planned

* More aesthetic themes

* More sensors

* More calendar integrations

* More data displays (weather maps)

About USB charging ports etc. This seems like a bit basic. I think everyone is saturated with options to charge things. These suggestions should be remixed to make them more interesting.
