Don’t Carry This Clock When Traveling

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smart Home, Misc. Tech,

This week, a hand grenade made its way to the Canadian border. Another one, which turned out to be a toy, was discovered at the McNamara Terminal at Detroit’s Metro Airport. Now you can join the group with the Hand Grenade Alarm Clock. Made of PVC, this clock has to be thrown to turn itself off. This is a perfect gift for those who want to vent their anger when disturbed first thing in the a.m. It’s available at CScout for $39.00.

Darth Vader Hangs Out on Your Nightstand

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smart Home, Misc. Tech, Movies,

Let the force be with you, even at night. The Darth Vader Alarm Clock projects the time onto the ceiling, with a red snooze alarm button that doubles as a nightlight. Of course Darth’s lightsaber also lights up, just in case you can’t sleep and want a middle of the night challenge to the evil dude. Available next month, $29.99 is a small price to pay to contribute to your Star Wars collection of useless, yet beloved memorabilia.

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smart Home, Misc. Tech, Music,

This is more than just your ordinary kitchen appliance. The Cooltone mini-fridge can hold 20 cans of your favorite brew, 4 two liter bottles, or six wine bottles and comes with more accessories than you probably ever though you would need on ice. It has a digital, top loading CD player, integrated speakers, a digital AM/FM tuner with up to 32 preset buttons and LCD, a link for your PMP, and an integrated alarm clock with snooze. There are also inputs for headphones and external speakers. The refrigerator comes with remote in case you drank all the Cooltone’s contents and can’t seem to get up to shut off the music. All this, and perhaps a hangover as well, can be yours for $260.00.

Over on Unboxing Live, we just published a video looking at the unboxing of the aXbo SLEEPPHASE Alarm Clock. Much like the SLEEPTRACKER watch reviewed by Gear Live previously, the SLEEPPHASE Alarm Clock specializes in waking you up when you are in your lightest phase of sleep. When that happens, you feel more rejuvinated than tired. The alarm clock monitors up to two wireless bracelets (meaning it works for two people), and tracks your movement near your programmed wake-up time. Check the video for all the details.

Clocky Pesters You Into Wakefulness

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smart Home, Misc. Tech, Music,

We have written about Clocky before - over a year and a half ago when he was just a concept. He is now here. While most alarm clocks awaken you with annoying chatter or strains of the latest hit by Beyonce, Nanda’s Clocky runs around your nightstand, jumps off up to 2 feet, and randomly scampers around the room emitting beeps with a flashing screen.
In order to have his freedom to scuffle, he utilizes 4 AAA batteries which should last 6 to 8 months. If you catch him before he jumps, you can set the snooze button and if he becomes a little too frisky, you can disable his wheels. Clocky measures 5 x 3.3 x 3-inches and is available in three colors (and in shag in the future) at Nanda for $49.99, although the aqua and mint models will not be available until after the holidays.

2006 Holiday Gift Guide: Tivoli Audio Music System

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Home Entertainment, Music, Men,

If you are looking for something different in the home stereo area, look no further than the Tivoli Audio Music System. This is an all-in-one solution that actually works - very well. The user interface is super-simple, and the buttons on the unit are exactly what they need to be. Nothing too advanced for anyone here. The Tivoli Audio Music System packs in an AM/FM tuner, CD player, and even an auxiliary input for your MP3 player of choice. The LED panel is perfect at 32 characters, and it even dims itself when you turn the lights off so as not to disturb your movie-watching (or sleep) experience. Our favorite feature? The SpacePhase setting, that makes audio sound even more clean and full - seriously, it rocks.

NES Controller Alarm Clock

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Design, Smart Home, Video Games,

For those who can’t seem to get enough of the feeling of having a video game controller nearby, waking up to one may be the treat to start the day off right. This alarm clock, shaped like one of those old-school NES and Famicom controllers, wakes you up to the Super Mario Bros theme song. How do you turn it off? Simply button-mash on the A button. If that doesn’t get you up, we aren’t sure what will. Even better, though, is the included mini-game. It goes something like this - hit the A button as fast as you can, trying to beat your previous speed. Do it fast enough, and you unlock a new alarm tone. All this for only $25 USD? Sign us up.

SLEEPTRACKER Watch Review

SLEEPTRACKER

Update: If you think the SLEEPTRACKER watch is cool, check out our video of the SLEEPPHASE Alarm Clock!

A few weeks ago we told you about a product called SLEEPTRACKER. The SLEEPTRACKER watch is unique in that while it tells you the time and has a built-in alarm like every other digital watch, this one actually monitors your sleep and wakes you at the moment that your body would best adjust from moving from a sleeping state to being awake. Does it live up to the hype? Find out after the jump.

Clocky: The Hiding Alarm Clock

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Misc. Tech,

Description Meet Clocky. Cute little bugger, eh? This device is simple an alarm clock that aims to wake you up, allowing you one press of the snooze button. You see, when Clocky’s alarm goes off, and you hit snooze, it rolls off of the surface it is sitting on and finds a hiding spot. The direction that is travels is completely random. This means that when the alarm goes off again, you are going to have to get up to find Clocky in order to turn off the alarm.
