LED Alarm Clock Blocks are too pretty to smash

If you're a habitual destroyer of snooze buttons, there's at least a smidgen of a possibility that picking one of these up could stop that habit. Seiji's stylish LED Alarm Clock Blocks (¥8,190; $76) rely on a trio of LED-filled boxes to convey the time (right down to the second), and best of all, the trifecta can be arranged however you'd like (horizontally, vertically, etc.) in order to please your fuzzy eyes in the AM. Unfortunately, you'll still have to use that spare travel clock while this thing gets imported from Japan, but you know what they say about the early bird...

Do I need some coffee or did that "early bird" saying not correspond well with the first part of that sentence?

"You'll have to wait while it gets imported from Japan... but you know what that they say about the early bird catching the worm..."

Is Japan the "early bird"? Because the sun rises in the east? What?

I think Darren Murph needs the coffee...

As in, "buy it fast". Like, before it sells out. Did you never go to preschool?

[Pochi @ Jul 9th 2008 11:56AM]

@HunterXI

What kind of insult is that...? A lot of people don't go to preschool at all. I did, but I don't remember analyzing proverbs there. I remember napping my ass off though.

Oh, and we know what it means, man. It just makes no sense in the context he used it.

[iHoppipolla @ Jul 9th 2008 2:12PM]

@Pochi: You didn't analyze proverbs?

Obviously you did not go to the Steve Jobs transcendental school for those who can't read and write good.

And Hunter, Pochi is right.

Early bird implies that there is something in a sparse amount and those who make haste can achieve that "something". What does waiting for something have to do with making haste to acquire something?

Would be cool if you could change the colours of both the LEDs and the cases

[edzy @ Jul 9th 2008 2:30PM]

HA

no need to hypnotize yourself first thing in the morning.

Though, that would be in the ultimate prank category.

Or you could just buy this one off think geek for $35. Granted, it's green only, but cheaper and in black :)

Its lack of a snooze button... clock-blocks you?

[Jimmy @ Jul 9th 2008 11:59AM]

Too big. The table would need to be huge. Maybe if they shrunk them to 2cm squares.

[snoob.go @ Jul 9th 2008 12:43PM]

Three in one of the new-style table clock, but the body and the white-friendly blocks from the station yard, such as sex and age everyone loves to watch his tools.

LOL :)

Best quote from the google translated page:
"The large time display is easy to see clearly the presence of dynamite from a distance!"

[Salsa Shark @ Jul 9th 2008 4:05PM]

So Darren thinks this clunky thing is "pretty" while eMachines computers burn his eyes and make him tear out his hair?

Wow.

[H@ckbert @ Jul 9th 2008 4:47PM]

i like it ... mhhhhh it would look so nice on the corner of my desk...

i hope it gets distributed later in an english/german speaking world..

[Justin M @ Jul 10th 2008 7:44AM]

Very nice clock.

I can't believe that there aren't more clocks like this on the market... I'm sure that there are many clocks like this.. but they're hard to find.

[Tuxy79 @ Jul 10th 2008 6:21PM]

I would buy it.
