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)

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!

well, my bestfriend thought this was really cool. who wouldnt? that is, until you actaully hear the damn thing screaming at you at 5:00am. she got it for her birthday in december, and needless to say, does not use it anymore. its the most horrible wake up noise ever. it litterly sounds like an alien invasion is coming into your room to wake you up. and you have no reaction time before it decides to jump off your bed side table and run around. waking up is bad enough, but this little 'Clocky' makes it 10 times worse..no joke. sorry Clocky, but i just cant stand you.

If you’re favorite song is “Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning,” then make room on your night table for Clocky. Clocky gives you ONE chance to get up. If you choose to snooze, believe it or not, Clocky will jump right off your night table (up to 3 feet) and wheel around your bedroom looking for a place -- far away from your bed -- to hide, beeping all the while, before sounding his alarm again. And, yes, you WILL have to get out of bed to silence his alarm. The snooze time can be set from 0-9 minutes, so if you set it at "0" Clocky immediately "runs" away. If you want Clocky to be just like every other alarm clock on the block, and stay put on your night table, simply disable his wheels. Moves on wood or carpet.

I am going to try and be more punctual... and I figure this little guy will help. I've had the same Sony clock/radio alarm clock since the 8th grade and I think I have become immune to the alarm... and the wood paneling is pretty hideous...

I have the amazing ability to elegantly disassemble alarm clocks in my sleep. Really. I wake up late and find my alarm clock lying to the side with the batteries neatly taken out.

So I got Clocky. And boy, is he a tough guy. He looks all cute and huggable, but just when the alarm goes off (which sounds like a mix of a shortwave radio dying and a garbled sputnik transmission) you get 1 minute to get up and turn him off.

1 minute.

Naturally, I miss this deadline, and the little thing goes crazy, flinging himself off my bedside table and careening across the floor in a orgy of carnage designed to get you up. You better not have too many nooks and crannies, 'cause clocky will HIDE in them. Yup. You have to find him and turn him off. By then, you're reaching for the coffee so it's hard to go back to bed.

A great way to get out of bed and ensure you have a terrible morning after a hangover.
