Clocky

Thu, 31 Mar 2005 12:00:00 +0000

Clocky is, quite simply, for people who have trouble waking up.

When the alarm clock goes off and the snooze button is pressed, Clocky will roll off the bedside table and wheel away, bumping mindlessly into objects on the floor until it eventually finds a spot to rest. Minutes later, when the alarm sounds again, the sleeper must get up out of bed and search for Clocky. This ensures that the person is fully awake before turning it off. Small wheels that are concealed by Clocky’s shag enable it to move and reposition itself, and an internal processor helps it find a new hiding spot every day.

Yet another meta blog by wacky brit. The idea seems to be catching on fast.

Blogdex

Mon, 06 Aug 2001 12:00:00 +0000

MIT’s Blogdex crawls weblogs (like mine) for popular links. Nice concept – somewhat like Google’s, except more “current information” based. The page of only weblogs has a good list of weblogs (not as comprehensive as Eatonweb), and Rebecca’s written a good history of weblogs.
