Abstract: A clock has a solid state memory or other storage medium containing many messages, each of which preferably is appropriate to a particular date, time of day, week, season, etc. The clock is self-contained, without connection to any network for message content. In setting the clock the user can choose that a message be selected by the internal microprocessor at the appointed time. A specific embodiment is a clock radio which can be set for alarm, radio programming and/or day-specific message. The stored messages are presented in verbal form for the user, via digital storage or voice synthesizer. In specific forms the clock or clock radio contains messages relating to similar dates in history, horoscopes based on the user's birth date, anonymous-type programs, or other messages that have appropriate content for a particular time or date.

Abstract: A clock, preferably a clock radio, has a solid state memory or other storage medium such as a CD player, containing many messages, each of which preferably is appropriate to a particular date, time of day, week, season, etc. The clock is self-contained, without connection to any network for source of message content. The clock or clock radio is settable for a wake up or other type of alarm function (such as appointment alert) by the user, and the user can choose that a message be selected by the internal microprocessor at the appointed time. In one form the messages are horoscopes, and the clock includes a means for the user's inputting of this specific user information. A specific embodiment is a clock radio which can be set for alarm, radio programming and/or day-specific message. The stored messages are presented in verbal form for the user, via digital storage or voice synthesizer.

Abstract: The concept of an astrological watch is that of a watch which provides a daily horoscope based on ones astrological sign. The astrological watch matches up with a birth sign. The watch contains a computer chip that provides daily horoscopes for the sign of the person, based upon their birth date and time, covering one entire year. An LCD readout allows the person to read their individual daily horoscope each day. In addition, the astrological watch provides the function of a standard electronic digital watch.
