We must have missed the memo explaining the world's growing problem of ignoring their
alarm clocks, but on second thought, maybe it's just time (ahem) for manufacturers to crank out solutions to the issue that has quietly been around for centuries. Not too long after the ever-mischievous
Blowfly hit the market to force drowsy individuals to rise and shine, Nanda Home is offering up the rugged (and oh-so-devious)
Clocky to those who are ready to deal with their addiction to snooze. Ready to roll in almond white, aqua, and mint colors, this dual-wheeled alarm clock gives users just one free round of snooze before it darts around the room, blaring its alarm and zooming across floors until the exhausted owner manages to locate, load, and fire his / her shotgun at the free-spirited toy. Watch out, though, as this bugger can even leap from three-foot heights without missing a tick, and it's finally ready to shake up your morning routine for a relatively modest $49.99.

This was posted on slickdeals.net a while ago, I really want one of these things.
I would buy one, but I'm too tired...
I'd buy one, but I would smash my head on a piece of furniture chasing it around the room at 6 AM.
This sounds like fun.. I was 15 minutes late to my first class today because i slept through my alarm.. again.
Got one and it's awesome. The alarm is loud though and they should put a sample of it on their site. Sounds like R2D2, remixed. Great idea and product though. And the interface/buttons for setting the alarms are great. It takes me ages to change the time on my Nixon watch, but I set the Clocky alarm once, while referencing the manual and never had to look at it again.
So it peels out on your face to wake you up?
I actually know the creater. She is a very sweet and down to earth girl. This is a small world. I am moving to MARS...
I can see it already:
Forget to turn it off at night on Friday. Get up at 6 A.M. Trip on something or other on the floor and break a leg. LAWSUIT!

What a great mood to be awake in! LOL
Alarm clocks are an enabling technology - they enable us to abuse our bodies by interrupting sleep. A better solution is to get enough sleep so that you awaken naturally at the required time.
Amen brother aros!
Maybe that's why they call 'em "alarming" device instead of wakeup device. You get alarmed. Totally!
These have actually been out for a few years now. I saw them in a magazine about 2 years ago.
Good way to play a joke on a roommate, parent, girl/boyfriend. I would buy it just for that and then use it because I hate getting up earlier then 8am.
But where is the oh so cool shag carpet covering???
Honestly, this is awesome. If I see one in a store I'll probably buy it (and dye it black).
lol our economics class has been following this for a while. i tink you can buy the shag cover...tempted 2 buy it...
check out this awesome clocky commercial on youtube, linked from the actual site :)
