Join Do Gong Alarm Clocks ring the bell?
These are some Gong Alarm Clocks, and they are designed for the Wrestling and Boxing fans in your life.
They are modeled after the ringside bells that are at these matches, and I am not certain how they work.
Allow me to explain. According to my Source, the wrestling alarm clock sounds for 3 counts before it counts you out before it sounds the gong. As for the other boxing version, it will count to ten before it “buzzes”.

The IQ alarm clock
I don’t know about you, but I can’t really figure out at what point in time to I become truly awake. We once covered devices like the SleepTracker that find the primary “wakeup point” of the user, but this IQ Alarm has a different idea.
Imagine if you had an alarm that puts you in a mentally ready state so that you will want to get up, because you are too intellectually stimulated to go back to sleep again.
That would be the IQ Alarm, a concept device that wakes the user up with the usual alarm sound, but in order to make the alarm stop, you have to answer one to three questions.

Insignia’s Infocast – The Facebook, Internet Radio, YouTube, WiFi Alarm Clock?
I was thinking, with all the high tech stuff I have, why is it that I still have one of those alarm clocks that starts my day with a decidedly low tech “click” followed by the dreaded, increasingly louder “beep beep beep”? I mean seriously, shouldn’t I be able to do better than that?

Anakin Star Wars LEGO Minifigure Alarm Clock
Are you a huge fan of Star Wars? Chances are pretty good that that is the case, since a huge number of the populace grew up on George Lucas’ space opera, and the current generation also had their brush with the prequels (which didn’t really live up in terms of storytelling although they did fare a whole lot better where special effects are concerned). Well, this has certainly led to the commercial juggernaut where Star Wars merchandise is concerned, and among the latest offerings would be the Anakin Star Wars LEGO Minifigure Alarm Clock. This £24.99 purchase will feature a relatively large LEGO minifig of the young Anakin before he started down on the path to the Dark Side, complete with the almighty snooze function (great to skipping Master Yoda’s classes) and backlight function which can be activated by pushing down on his head. Of course, his still human hands and legs can be moved (according to the limited degree of freedom for all LEGO figures).
Check out the Lunchtime Lengthening Clock
You don’t have to work for the “man” long to know how slow the clock moves during worktime, and how fast it goes during lunch.
Fortunately, this Lunchtime clock is designed to speed up twenty percent at 11 AM and then slows down twenty percent at 11:48, which adds 12 precious minutes to lunch.
This will allow for an extra hour worth of lunch for the whole week. Not only that , it will be back in sync in 1:00 PM real time when the 1:12 PM lunchbreak ends.

Melting Bookshelf Clock
They say that time and tide waits for no man, but here is the Melting Bookshelf Clock which will certainly help you view time in a totally different manner. In fact, for those who prefer to delve into the world of magic mushrooms might actually think that they have the ability to bend time to their whims and fancies, although we know that that itself is more of an overactive imagination than anything else. Looking as though this is something from the world of Alice in Wonderland, it is actually a conversation piece that is both artistic while precise. You could very well say that this is proof that time is not rigid, but is fluid instead, as the entire timepiece does look as though it is about to flow down to the floor. Powered by a single AA battery, it does leave your guests wondering whether this is a clock or a piece of art at first glance. The Melting Bookshelf Clock will retail for $14.99 a pop.
