Defusable alarm clock is dy-no-mite

Mike Krumpus of Nootropic Design (and creator of the Video Experimenter Shield which is the heart of Matt Richardson’s Enough Already hack) is at it again with his Defusable Clock.

Of course that isn’t actually dynamite, Mike wrapped wooden dowels in paper. More interestingly, he used an ATmega328 to power the board so anyone Arduino-savvy can hack their own. He’ll be offering kits in the near future; you can sign up for an email notification on the project page.

TalkO’Clock: “P2P alarm clock” for people who want to wake up/be woken up by strangers

If you're the sort of person who likes to wake up strangers, or talk to strangers first thing in the morning, then TalkO'Clock might be right for you. It's a P2P matchmaking service that allows you to volunteer to serve as someone else's wake-up call (or to book a stranger in as your waker-upper).

TalkO’Clock allows you to choose whether you want to be called by a male or a female stranger, and it has a robot – CallO’Bot – lined up in case no one is available at the time you have to wake up.
