Clocky

Juniper Foo | Apr 18, 2005

If not for the Chinese belief that it's belly bad luck to give a clock as a gift, Clocky is a bloody marvelous present for those who just can't get out of bed in the mornings. Disguised as a brown shag carpet on wheels, Clocky apparently rolls off its perch onto the floor and plays hide-and-seek as soon as the snooze bar is hit. Devious? We think not. The sleeper is forced to get out of bed to locate the clock when next it starts shrieking. Imagine, multiple Clockies! Unfortunately, MIT Media Lab is still sleeping on this dream project.
