Clocky

[jrtom]

Clocky is a clock for people who have trouble getting out of bed. When the snooze bar is pressed, Clocky rolls off the table and finds a hiding spot, a new one every day.

. . .

I don't like being told when to wake up but I've come to terms with the idea that I have to. In designing Clocky, I was in part inspired by kittens I've had that would bite my toes every morning. Clocky is less of an annoying device as it is a troublesome pet that you love anyway.

This is brilliant, and also pretty damned funny. I especially like the suggestion that Clockies may, in a future version, conspire with one another to handle especially recalcitrant sleepers.

Oh, OK. Well, that does suck. If you make plans that are easily generalizable (i.e., to which a couple of extra people could be added, like going to a movie or performance or something), let me know; I can't guarantee that we'd be able to make it, but it would be cool if we could work it out. (We need to get out more often, too, so driving up to LA is seeming less of a barrier than it might otherwise. :P :) )
