Forget traditional weather applications and standard forecasts. The Author Forecast, which is currently raising funds on Kickstarter, is set to transform our approach to weather updates by merging real-time local information with thoughtfully chosen literary quotes. Developed by Author & Co., this unique device turns the routine task of checking the weather into a poetic dialogue with writers from around the world. Whether starting your day with the words of Hemingway or immersing yourself in the prose of Virginia Woolf, the Author Forecast infuses everyday moments with literary charm.
Beyond its literary focus, the Author Forecast is also a beautifully designed object. With a sturdy white oak casing and polished brass details, the device radiates timeless sophistication. Its E-Ink display, offered in two sizes, ensures excellent visibility while being energy efficient. Every element of the design, from the user-friendly controls to the eco-friendly materials, has been meticulously considered to produce a device that is both functional and visually appealing.
This device connects to the internet to refresh its collection of over 5,000 literary quotes, providing an experience that is always evolving. The “Sundial,” a golden wheel reminiscent of the sun, offers a hands-on way to explore the features of the Author Forecast. Options for customization let users tailor their experience, from changing temperature units to adjusting how often quotes refresh. Boasting a durable battery and automatic updates through Wi-Fi, this device integrates effortlessly into everyday life.
More than a simple weather tool, the Author Forecast acts as a conversation starter, a wellspring of inspiration, and a homage to the power of words. It serves as a reminder that even the most mundane parts of our lives can be enhanced with beauty and meaning. Discover the world through the insights of renowned authors, one weather quote at a time. This is not merely a forecast – it’s a literary journey.
