From bestdesi.com comes a top ten list of the most annoying alarm clocks in the world. I like the selection of clocks. All are pretty much annoying which of course is part of the deal, but what the better ones seem to feature is a rather challenging activity to turn the alarm off. I really like the one that pops four puzzle pieces out and demands that you a) find them and b) place them exactly in order to turn off the alarm. The clock that scurries about the room looking for a place to hide before you can catch it and disable to alarm is a close second. The alarm clock that requires a second person to lob the alarm grenade into the room is of limited usefulness, but then I have to admit my bigger challenge is staying in bed and rising slowly…perhaps even luxuriating in gradual wakefulness. An interesting collection of gadgets.
Thanks for the link back :)
A further perhaps less annoying alarm clock surfaced at Gizmondo today. This one wakes you with the smell (but only smell) of brewing coffee to ease your waking to the exigencies of the day.
