and now in engadget...

Wow. The day after Gizmodo made a post referencing my brother's sophomore year project, Engadget puts up a post today about his anemone clock. What great coverage! And how bizarre since this has been around for ages---I mean, I put together that website for him back in 2000 I believe. Interesting how in the Engadget comments, people are upset about the fact that his clock reads "9:11", thinking that he's being really disrespectful. In reality, he made this clock in 99 or 2000...so it's just a weird coincidence that he has that read-out. He's been getting contacts like crazy, which is cool...except that it's stressing him out during finals. There are so many hits to his website, it's insane (considering he had a daily average visit rate of around 8 hits--it's soared to almost 1,500 today). Poor guy doesn't know what to do with all this attention: he's been getting tons of emails and questions about where to buy it---it's a freakin' homework assignment from college! He'd have to patent it and then sign a deal to manufacture it...but then, would it be too late? Help? Anyhow, kudos to my little bro'--I'm so proud of him.
