Another Laser Target Alarm Clock

Remember that Laser Target Alarm Clock that was all over the blogs in the beginning of this year? A new model from the Japanese Bandai company has now been released.

The Gun O’Clock looks slightly different and features two wake-up modes: Normal and Hard. The first one works as the original clock; the alarm goes off, you hit the target, the alarm shuts down. But with the Hard mode you will need to hit the target 5 times.

Tantrum Throwing Alarm Clock gives you a reason to get up in the morning

Sometimes it is difficult to get up in the morning, and if it wasn’t for my infant son, who cries in the morning at 7:00 A.M, I probably would never get out of bed. It appears that Hammer Schlemmer has found a way to create the technological equivalent of a screaming baby in the morning in the form of an alarm clock.

The Tantrum Throwing Alarm Clock will do exactly what its name entails. All you need to do is set it, and it will begin to tap its arms lightly when it goes off. Apparently, it will be sedated when you pat it on the head, which is the closest thing to a snooze button.

If you give it too many snoozes, the alarm will go into a full tantrum where it will flip open its maw like Mr. Mouth, a classic toy from the seventies. Anger isn’t the only emotion that it feels because if you pet the clock, it will apparently smile and even tap its wrists in appreciation.

Not only is this device do alarms, but it can do some fancy dancing if you connect your MP3 player. The Tantrum Alarm Clock runs on 4 AA batteries, and it has a warning light of flashing red lights in his eyes if the batteries are low. You can also plug in an AC cord if you want to for more power.

You should be able to purchase the Tantrum Alarm Clock for about $49.95 off the Hammacher Schlemmer website.

Chococlock dispenses chocolate every hour

If you have a serious love for chocolate and need a way to make the time pass a bit faster while you’re stuck in this office, you might pick up one of these. Every single hour it will present a chocolaty treat to you and you have to snatch it off of the tray before it closes back up again. Which means you’ll have to watch the clock a bit closer, as if you weren’t watching it closely enough before. Sadly watching the clock never seems to make it move any faster, in fact it seems to go slower. Luckily if you need an extra boost you can hit the cheat button.

The cheat button will then dispense a chocolate for you even though it’s not time for the hourly sweets. Hopefully the compartment you fill with chocolate stays cool enough that they won’t melt together. You’ll also have to be mindful and make sure the room itself doesn’t get too warm. It will hold about 30 pieces of chocolates, giving you about 30 hours of chocolate. That is unless you’re too anxious and hit the cheat button a lot. You can pick it up for about $40, sadly it’s sold out of the US right now. The UK site has it in stock though.

This is the Osim Nioi alarm clock designed by Alfie Lake. You won’t hear any beep or mp3 tone waking you up in the morning. Instead, it releases pleasurable scents, like the smell of freshly baked bread, to wake you up. similar to the bacon alarm I see. The Osim Nioi allows for up to 3 different cartridges sorry for lazy people as thr is no snooze.....lol
