Do you have the time?


I don’t know but these clocks don’t rock, they’re confusing. I guess they were meant to be made like that for some reason that only the designers know.


Speaking of clocks, this one here is very interesting.

WAKE n' BACON

WHAT: An alarm clock that wakes you up with the smell and sizzle of cooking bacon.

WHY: No one likes to wake up, especially by an alarm. This clock gently wakes you up with the mouthwatering aroma of bacon, just like waking up on a Sunday morning to the smell of Mom cooking breakfast. Unless you're Jewish.

HOW: A frozen strip of bacon is placed in Wake n' Bacon the night before. Because there is a 10 minute cooking time, the clock is set to go off 10 minutes before the desired waking time. Once the alarm goes off, the clock it sends a signal to a small speaker to generate the alarm sound. We hacked the clock so that the signal is re-routed by a microchip that in responds by sending a signal to a relay that throws the switch to power two halogen lamps that slow-cook the bacon in about 10 minutes.

Now we’re talking about waking-up. So if you want to buy this alarm clock, you can’t, sorry, it’s just a design, not a product.
