kingbunky 3 #1 March 18, 2005 from mike's list: the boys (and probably girls) over at MIT came up with 'clocky'. when the alarm goes off, you hit the snooze, then it rolls of your bedside table and hides so you have to get up and find it to shut it off when it goes off again. i need one of these.

I have to do this about once a month, but then they usually get up when they hear my footsteps. Unknowing attempting to take out all 4 wheeled vehicles remotely close to the landing area!

QuoteDear Clocky List Subscriber, Just wanted to send you a friendly little update on the alarm clock that runs away and hides when you hit the snooze button. News .......... In October, Clocky was awarded an Ig Nobel Prize in Economics for ensuring that people get out of bed and go to work on time, theoretically adding more productive hours to the day! On Friday, December 9th, around 7:40 a.m. EST, Clocky will be demonstrated on NBC\'s Today Show. And Clocky will be a part of the New York Times Magazine\'s annual \"Year in Ideas\" issue, out on news stands December 11th in the U.S.! Status .......... If you haven\'t already heard, Clocky is about to be put into production and will be out by early next year. We are working hard to get him on the market as soon as we possibly can, and we think you will be happy with our \"ready for market\" design. He will bear some resemblance to his predecessor (pictured on www.clocky.net), but, among other changes, his body will be smaller, he will have a larger display and snooze button, and he will come in different colors! More details on his features will be forthcoming. Because you\'ve already signed up for our mailing list, you will have a chance at a Clocky giveaway. After the drawing, subscribers will also have the first chance to buy Clocky online, before he hits stores. More details including price and commercial availability to follow ... Questions? .......... If you have any questions or comments, please email us at questions@clocky.net Take care and happy holidays!
