Coolest Alarm Clock Ever!

[x635 4,066]

I remember seeing this idea somewhere on TV a couple of years ago, where it was developed by college engineering students and won an invention contest.

Really cool idea!

Zzzzz...huh, wha? #@$%!! Come back here!

Sleep. The demesne of Hypnos and Morpheus. Once the playground for the exhausted geek, now a wasteland of antiproductivity. Are you writing code? No. Are you pwning n00bs? No. Are you farming gold so you can buy that mount in Silvermoon? No.

Sleep when you die, man. Staying awake is the only way to get things done anymore. So when your weekly intake of REM is limited to the single digits, you need an effective waking mechanism. Something to jog your mind as well as your body in an effort to pump blood back to your extremities and grey matter. Clocky is here! All Hail Clocky!

This little wonderful wheeled alarm clock started as an engineering student's project. Having trouble waking up herself, Gauri Nanda developed Clocky to shriek annoyingly and effectively, waking you up. The fun doesn't end there, kiddies. It leaps off of your night stand, and drives around your room, making random turns and racing away from your grasp. Now you have to get out of bed and hunt the little bugger down to turn it off.

Now, you're awake, and it's time to get things done. Booya.

that is a cool idea, however if i ever got to it after waking me up like that i might throw it through a wall/ window.

I'd have to buy 20 b/c I would break 'em all trying to catch it with my anger that'd cause me to cut it in 2 with an ax. Also, couldn't you just set your alarm clock on your cell to vibrate. I then put the cell underneath my pillow. Only problem is to make sure house time and cell phone time are correct.

It would make one heck of a prank for the Firehouse though!

If I had to chase my alarm clock around first thing in the morning, it would piss me off the rest of the day.....
