My so called life*

“Dear Prof. AWB,

I was in your British Literature class in the fall of 2006, and for that class, you gave me a grade of C. I need to have a better grade for this class. As far as I know, I got an 86 on the first paper, and I didn’t complete the second assignment. I don’t know what I got on the final essay or exam.

I would like for you to change my grade to at least a B. If this means I must complete the second assignment, I will attempt to set aside time to do so. Please address this matter immediately.

Thank you.”

“8AM is a task lamp constructed simply of braided electric wire. The flexible wire, once passed thru an aluminum clamp, undergoes a “change of state,” elegantly transforming into the structural body of the lamp itself. Following the simple construction method, the 8AM task lamp is also powered on/off in an elegant manner. By touching the aluminum clamp, the user is able to trigger the ever-increasing levels of light output. This simple system consisting of a wire and a clamp, can take on various forms to fill the home, office, or lobby with a pleasant wash of light.”

And the snooze button, the way I found the site:

“We all know the Snooze button. The Snooze button was first marketed in 1956 by General Electric-Telechron. The Snooz-Alarm. (Hey, it’s the 50th anniversary of the Snooze button! Where’s the parade?) Telechron made a wide variety of clocks from about 1917 until 1959, merging and unmerging with General Electric along the way. (Visit telechron.net for all the details.) In 1959, Westclox marketed the Drowse. Notice the separate buttons for 5 or 10 minutes. And as usual, a woman’s finger pushing it.”
