I used to post most mornings before work.  I’ve slid on that.  A big reason for that is getting up in the morning.

Due to a…. mishap…. yes…. let us call it a mishap…..

Due to a mishap one night… early morning….no…. we will stick with night….

Due to a mishap one night in Boston over my Spring Break my iPhone died.  It died a shatter filled death.  I always joke that when I injure myself I injure myself good.  Almost die from an appendix bursting, break my collar bone into 3 pieces not two, those sort of things (alright… those may be the only examples I have).  So when my phone died, it died big time.  Glass shards everywhere.  Casing bent to hell.  Good times essentially.

It occurred at a decent time I suppose.  I had grown bored, but satisfied with my phone.  I’ve had an iPhone since the 3G and never really felt drawn to leave the ios ecosystem.  I had been actually thinking, that as my phone neared 2 years old, I had no desire to upgrade to a different phone at all.  But life happens, and the phone breaking was as good an opportunity as any to try something new.

So I bought a Nexus 5.  Google, Android…. all that jazz.  Wasn’t hard to switch.  But what is annoying is the stock alarm clock on the Nexus.  I like using my own music to waking up.  Not buzzing, not an alarm clock, just my phone.  But the stock alarm clock on the Nexus can’t do that, my old iPhone could.  I tried several others.  Warmly, Timely, and others.  They look pretty.  They also try fancy things like “waking you with science” where they start playing noise 30 minutes early at a really low volume to wake you from “light sleep” so you’re less groggy.

I’m calling bullshit on that.  Doesn’t work.  Just wakes me up 30 minutes early and I see the time on my phone and get really pissed I’m not sleeping still.  So I’m still looking a perfect alarm clock for an android phone.

Till then I’ll wake up with buzzing noises.

Extremely annoying buzzing noises.
