books full of cool engravings, each with comes with a pithy little "motto" and a caption of some sort. apparently these did numbers in medieval europe, but I like to browse them for tattoo ideas. a bunch of libraries have scans!
pretty sure i saw someone on here rec a clock radio instead of a phone alarm... now i don't open my eyes and immediately look at my phone and instead enjoy the classical and jazz from the college radio station in the morning. yes this ancient beast has a terrible speaker but the form factor is unrivaled
