Sunrise clocks already on the market have these features:
clocks with wheels that require you to chase after them to shut them off.
These last 2 options dont have lights, making them cheaper ($50 or so)
Using 1 material and pushing it to a new level
Peel and stick flooring (for a future project)
Most mobiles I've seen online are all Calder knock-offs, where as this one is fresh and exciting. I can see modifying this idea and using colorful, etched glass cylinders, staggered at different heights with lights inside.
Have peep holes or have round green windows like at herbivore in Berkeley.
I'm thinking of something more playful, colorful, asymmetrical and hanging from the ceiling. Possibly suggest the tent using translucent objects instead of fabric.

Problem:
When manually trying to line up two columns of information, even if each line has the same number of spaces, they don’t always line up vertically. In this case blogger won't even let me spacebar over the states and country, so just pretend they are lined up, but a little off skew:
Sacramento California
London England
Denver Colorado
Portland Oregon
Solution:
To make the columns line up perfectly, you can do create a table and then change the lines to white to hide the table.
First - draw a table. In Microsoft Vista you got o Insert – table.
Second – type in your information. It should look something like this: (The vertical line all the way to the left should appear, but for some weird reason here in blogger it is not. Just use your imagination.)
| Sacramento | California |
| London | England |
| Denver | Colorado |
| Portland | Oregon |
Third - click on the lines and move them closer to the words. Mess around with the table options; you can do all sorts of things like alter the line spacing.
| Sacramento | California |
| London | England |
| Denver | Colorado |
| Portland | Oregon |
Forth- Right click and go to “boarders and shading”
Change the color to white and you should end up with a list that is perfectly spaced:
| Sacramento | California |
| London | England |
| Denver | Colorado |
| Portland | Oregon |
Hint – you can use this same technique of changing text or lines to white to control formatting. If you have a line of text that is magically locked in place and won’t let you indent, tab or bullet, type in any letter, hit tab to make the spacing the way you want it, and then change the random letter to white- problem solved!
