stavros is one of my favourite posters on HN, and the writing on his site is full of beautiful turns of phrase like that.

> The Timeframe is a beautiful, battery-powered, high-resolution e-ink device that sits on my desk and reminds me of the inexorable grind that saps my creativity and drains me of the will to live.

From https://www.stavros.io/posts/making-the-timeframe/

edit: Ever since I read the Timeframe article I've been itching to do the same thing myself, but I suck at these things so worry that I'm just going to end up with more piles of electronic parts in my cupboard of broken dreams.

Thanks!

I'm currently making something inspired by your Timeframe, but using an OLED panel, as a 2nd screen for my desk - but almost the same form-factor and a similar design.

I'm trying out a faux 3D-printed wood process with wood powder-infused PLA, sanding and staining, and a faux wood grain I baked into the geometry using a displacement map, though. Hoping to make it all posh.

Speaking of a beautiful turn of phrase: "...more piles of electronic parts in my cupboard of broken dreams."

		I call it the "cupboard of infinite possibilities".
