Need a "Clocky" to Wake Up in the Morning?
Does your favorite student hit the “snooze” button a few too many times each morning? If so, consider getting him or her a "Clocky" runaway alarm clock.
Designed by a MIT grad student as part of an industrial design class, Clocky ($50 at www.nandahome.com) sports two oversized wheels and instructions to jump from the bedside nightstand, move in random directions, nest in a hiding spot and beep all the while.
To turn Clocky off, the student will first have to get out of bed and find the plucky device. The subsequent adrenaline-fueled search might just be enough to get him or her awake for the day.

Wow, I could really use one
Wow, I could really use one of those. Waking up in the morning is the hardest thing for me to do. Luckily i've never been late to class, but i do tend to skip alot of things that need to be done in the morning just to get to class on time.
This is pretty neat. I'll
This is pretty neat. I'll have to go check it out in person. I'd love to see how it "jumps" off the nightstand and hear how loud it is. As it runs away, it may be easier to sleep through if it's not loud enough.
Very cool and cute idea though!
