The Time Table - a clock so big you can eat your dinner off it
Wanna make sure your guests leave on time and that the entrees are served with prompt Swiss precision? How about getting a Time Table...
Dunno about you, but I don't really like the idea of a huge digital watch screen blinking over my food. I waste enough time as it is... Wanna make sure your guests leave on time and that the entrees are served with prompt Swiss precision? How about getting a Time Table... more -
Rind Over Matter
You've tried a normal alarm clock. You've tried the alarm clock that plays bird song to wake you up. You've even tried paying someone to throw water over you. But have you tried bacon?

Best of Craigslist : Stupid clock with day, month and date read out
Thought this was funny:
"I bought this stupid clock on E-Bay for my 86-year old aunt, because she is getting confused. Unfortunately, I didn't realize until it arrived that you have to manually change everything, every day, except the time.
Every day. Push three buttons. If you forget for a day, or only push two buttons, the large, black and white read-out that is so easy to read, is wrong. I found it made her even more confused. If the stupid clock said something, she believed it. I would call her up and tell her what day it is and she would argue with me, because her stupid clock said something different.
Stupid clock. I bought her a new one that automatically changes every day.
This stupid, battery operated clock is free to whomever wants it. You will find it easier to work in harmony with it if you are a fairly cognizant person. On the other hand, if you are not always cognizant and want to drive your family crazy, this is the PERFECT clock for you. " Thought this was funny: ... more -
Puzzle alarm clock demands more than mere wakefulness
"Puzzle alarm clock: the simple, profoundly irritating idea at its heart is easy enough to guess, but why, then, is the puzzle itself so simple? It's a toddler's learning toy, a matter of bashing three shapes into the corresponding holes. Perhaps the idea is to force you to retrieve them from the other side of the room first—but then why not merely place the alarm clock itself out of arm's reach?
At $40, it's a little more expensive than a Tomy toy, too. Wake me up when there is a 20-move Japanese puzzle box version, or one inside a Rubik's Cube."
I am excited a little bit about the concept. I am recently having trouble waking up on time because I press the snooze button several times and then i oversleep. This could help me wake up easier but I think I might get used to it over some time. Nice idea though! I wonder how many people will actually buy it.

Lifetime Clock measures in years
So I am guessing you get the clock when you are born?
Apparently you aren't expected to live past 84. What if you do? Are you expected to start the clock over? What if you were born on a leap year?
What does the big hand do, and what does the little hand do?
So many questions. So I am guessing you get the clock when you are born? ... more -

Time Change is a Killer
And not just for your internal clock and sleeping patterns. With the sun going down earlier that means more people walking around in the dark. According to this study, that means pedestrians are 3 times more likely to be hit by cars. So make sure you've a) set your clocks back; and b) look both ways before you cross the street. And not just for your internal clock and sleeping patterns. With the sun going down earlier that means more people walking around in t... more
