I came across this cool alarm clock today from ThinkGeek which adds a different level on to the average alarm clock that you use. The Clocky Robotic alarm is a small alarm clock with 2 wheels on it. It started as an engineering student project and has now been produced. The wheels on the alarm clock propel it off your table and on to the floor. To switch it off you need to catch up with it. The one problem is that it turns and twists out of your way. This is surely going to get you out of bed unless you can fall back asleep and still ignore it. The chances are that most people will want it to shut up, and the only way to do that is to catch it and hit snooze.

iPhone Clock Breaks Again with DST Switch
March 14, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Each time the clocks change in preparation for the summer, it seems that iOS devices have problems with making the change. Last time, alarms broke and this time it seems the clocks are switching an hour in the wrong direction.
This time each year, clocks move forwards an hour in the US (followed by the UK and other places shortly after). A quick search on Twitter reveals that this wasn’t the case though for a number of iPhone users who have essentially posted on twitter wondering why they woke up a couple of hours later than expected.

November 24, 2007 by Leave a Comment
The Life Clock is a unique idea which has little LCD people living inside it. It works as an alarm clock and from what the translation says, the people living inside turn out how you are. If you are sloppy and get up late then they will turn that way. If you get right out of bed then they will become more affluent. It costs just $31 from Amazon in Japan.

Daylight Projection Clock
September 7, 2006 by 2 Comments
Projection clocks are kind of ok but you really have to squint to be able to see the time. However, the Oregon Scientific Projection Clock is different. This clock’s projector is light sensative and can adjust accordingly to the various light levels that change through out the day. The clock looks quite cool and I wouldnt mind having this in the house. What ads more to it’s coolness is the ability to wave your hand at the sensor to change display settings and even turn off the alarm. That last part is not good for me though… I need the alarm to keep going 🙂
The face of the clock is a black smooth surface which shows the time and temperature and ads to the sleekness of the clock.
Features
* Daylight LED projection displays time and temperature on any surface in any lighting condition
* Displays the indoor temperature
* LCD display with animation of time and temperature
* Features an alarm clock with eight-minute snooze function
* Touchless snooze function”motion over clock activates alarm snooze function

* 180Ëš projection rotation
* Projection focus
* Displays digital, day, and month for easy reference
* Celsius or Fahrenheit temperature display
* 12/24-hour clock format
* Adaptor included for continuous projection
It costs $89.95 and is available from Oregon Scientific.
