Daylight Saving Time can make waking up the morning after “springing forward” or “falling back” the most confusing times of the year. Fortunately, the Internet is now home to an absurdly accurate clock that can instantly put any confusion to rest.  Time.is tells you whether your computer clock is fast or slow — down to ±5 millisecond.  Though Time.is boasts about being the world’s most accurate web clock, before its latest upgrade, it had been thrown off by as much as 300 milliseconds because of network latency. Now, the site’s accuracy has been significantly improved by using your current location to compensate for the minimum latency of your connection, giving it almost-perfect accuracy.  When I sampled Time.is, it told me the clock on my computer was 1.7 seconds slow. It also knew I was in Brooklyn, N.Y. and sent me this helpful alert: “Brooklyn switches to daylight saving time at 02:00 on Sunday, March 11. The time is set one hour forward.”  Advanced users can take advantage of Time.is’s calendar, favorite locations and find the time difference between two locations. The clock is truly global — you can adjust the first day of the week (Saturday, Sunday or Monday), the date format and the time format.  Have you seen any other great time-telling resources online? What about mobile apps? Share your go-to clocks in the comments.  This avian-themed offering will add a touch of whimsy to your bedside table. Once you've chosen your BirdBox from the four colors available, and downloaded the free app, you've got a sweet (or should that be tweet?) way to wake up in the morning.  The iPhone fits in the box and displays an analogue clock through the hole. You can tap the screen to see the birds inside and wake to the sound of the birds cuckooing -- much more pleasant than blaring alarms.  The App Station speaker dock is a handy bit of kit. It can run off the mains or batteries, stands horizontally or vertically, and can play content while docked. On the clock side of things, the iLuv companion app will transform the setup from mini media center to a capable clock complete with weather info and Internet radio.  Jonas Damon's gorgeously retro wooden block dock will appeal to fans of vintage style. Obviously inspired by the faux wood alarm clocks that graced our parents' bedside tables, Damon says "this dock returns meaningful form to the sliver of a device that will wake you up." A flip clock app completes the look.  Like the iLuv option, but for UK and European iPhone owners, Exspect's clock dock works with the companion app to make the iDevice a part of the clock face. It charges your iPhone as you sleep, and you can choose to wake to audio from your iPhone, the FM radio or a buzzer.  "Nothing says morning like a piece of toast popping in a toaster," says Day Maker designer Michael Kritzer. "With that in mind, Day Maker, a bedside phone charger/alarm hub, lets you know it's time to rise and shine with a little added 'pop' from your phone alarm."  With the ability to hit snooze by pressing the phone back down, the Day Maker is a witty and unique take on the iPhone alarm clock dock. A Kickstarter listing is pending, so stay tuned for more.
