Cuppa Clock
A thermoelectrically powered e-paper clock on a coffee mug. | |
During the workday the display is kept updated, powered by a small storage-capacitor charged by a thermo-electric cell. After a few hours of being heat or motion-less, the e-paper pixels revert to a static display until the clock is heated or picked up. The timekeeping portion requires almost no energy
at all and can easily keep running for a week or two unassisted.

good, don't understand it but it sounds real good. |

an uninformed pastry tastes just the same as the uppity kind gone to college and all, but... "cuppa" is a slang term for "cup of coffee". (post nudged in the general direction of comprehensibility) |
|
|
I'd prefer a clockwork (pendulum aided) method of keeping my cuppa warm. |

//alarm... nears minimum drinking temperature// I thought of that too, but my habit consists of a sip a couple times a minute, so I'm usually aware when it's near the critical point and has to be nuked/refilled. |

[FT], the term "cuppa" refers exclusively and specifically to a
cup of tea, not coffee. |
|
|
"beverage of choice", besides, a cup-of-tea brings to mind china not pottery. |
