    Few devices receive as much attention to re-design as the mousetrap and alarm clock.

At a predefined time, the modified alarm clock silently (or noisily) kicks off a servo to wind open the shades. Nothing like the deep, battleship gray skies of mid-western suburbia to rouse a young mind from sleep. Video after the break.[Via Hack A Day]
