Runaway alarm clock
(Credit: Nando Home)We have seen a Hello Kitty alarm clock, a flying alarm clock and even a sonic boom alarm clock. But Clocky may be one of the most interesting alarm clock concepts.
Not only does this alarm clock wake you up, it BASE jumps off your night stand and runs away to make sure you are really awake. You need to chase it down to turn it off.
Clocky, PopGadget noticed, came out as a concept prototype last year and is finally available at Nanda Home for about $50.
The alarm clock offers one snooze option of up to nine minutes and after that takes off over rug or wood floor.
for me, if i still used an alarm clock, it would be great. i used to have a snooze alarm right near my bed and another alarm clock across the room.
I can see it now:
1) Hit snooze
2) nine minutes passes
3) runaway alarm clock
4) becomes cat's toy
5) and you never find the darned thing
6) until you trip on it, barefoot.
I got a kick out of the concept but that thing is NOT nice.
