Check this out, this must just appeal to a specific generation.
Alarms Clocks
I was a little frustrated this morning at a hotel I was staying at in Sydney overnight. For the first time ever the alarm clock in the room was not turned off when house-keeping reset the room. So at 6.30 this morning I was woken by a badly tuned radio noise. Now I know 6.30 is not so bad and yes it could have been worse, but I had a wake up call for 7.30 and only got to bed just before midnight anyway, and I’m one of those people that once I’m awake it’s hard to go back to sleep.
Anyway I always read with fascination the alarm clocks that appear on thinkgeek.com (my favourite geek shop). Firstly, I wake pretty easily so I look at these clocks never with the intention of buying, just out of interest. Secondly I think this one takes first prize. They have built an alarm clock with a wifi connection, pre-configured to talk to your bank account. So the more you hit the snooze button in the morning, the more money it donates to a charity. I guess you can add to the incentive yourself more by adding a charity you don’t really like to support.
Career Aspirations
My son had a friend for a sleep over last night, and we took him out to dinner. On the way in the car we were talking about what you want to be when you grow up. My son’s friend said he wanted to either be a doctor like his father, or a evil genius. What a choice!
I thought my wife loved me…
Until she made this shirt for me!
So i retaliated and made one for her too, but truth be known she has the better PR. I had to lobby for days just to get a link from her site to mine on her homepage!
