So it's pretty cool that my cell phone has a built-in alarm feature. It's downright awesome that I can set *three* alarms at different times just in case I hit snooze on the first one. And the second one.

Clocky, though, is better even than CATS who come in at the first hint of alarm, knead your intestines, mew politely at first then more insistently as the snooze-reprieves mount in number, and then who finally snuggle up with you in resignation, content with your apparent decision to skip work and spend the day catering to their needs and napping with them.

Clocky is the anti-cat. Clocky screams at you to getup! getup! getup! and before you can smash his little brain in, he... well, he runs away. That's right, he gets the hell out of Dodge, all "Nyah Nyah! Can't catch me! Getup!!"

Oh I know I'm going to hate this little bastid when I get him. And oh, will I get him. (via PopGadget - Personal Tech for Women)

Cool alarm clock on wheels!!

from japan?

it negates me having to set 5 separate alarms!

great invention

If you're anything like me (you know, with sleeping disorders and such), alarm clocks do you no good. They go off, you turn it off and you don't even remember doing it. This one goes off and runs away from you. That should do the trick.

This is a great idea. It's an elusive alarm clock that will jump off of your dresser and run around the room forcing you to actually get up out of your bed and commit to some physical activity. Very annoying? Yes...but that's the point.

There are many things in my life that wake me up.

1: my 2 year old beating me on the head with a harry potter wand
2: my dog jumping on me
3: my wife kicking me out of the bed
4: my wife asking me questions about life, the universe and everything
5: my neighbors
6: random emergency vehicle alarms
7: ennui and angst

Never had i thought about putting ROBOTS on that list until now. This is a robotic, wheeled alarm clock that will jump off your nightstand and proceed to wheel its way across the room, scaring the hell out of your pets, your loved ones and your carefully configured star wars dioramas. It's awesome!!!

Here are some specs:
* Set your snooze time, 0-9 min
* Snooze once before he runs away
* Choose 0 and he runs right away
* Can jump from up to 3 feet
* Moves on wood and carpet
* Press snooze to view time at night
* Screen flashes when beeping/running
* Alarm beeps in random pattern (think R2 on Acid)
* Clocky is small: 5.25″ x 3.5″ x 3.5″
* Want him to stay put? Disable wheels.
* Early low battery warning
* Colors: almond white, aqua and mint and soon in mustard orange!
