Hayat Benchenaa Radio Alarm Clock by Carol T Chung
Hayat Benchenaa, where have you been all my life?? Hayat has created a radio alarm clock that puts my four devices to shame. This is how it works. When the alrarm is set the Sfera dims and the music fades as you fall asleep. When it goes off in the morning, you have to reach up and tap it to activate the snooze. Then the Sfera rises and after 10 minutes goes off again, which causes you to rise up out of bed even more to activate the snooze. This process is repeated until the Sfera reaches the ceiling, which forces you to get up and pull it down to deactivate it.

With a pleasing grid-based design, the programmable buttons function as...

Clocky Revisited
The last time we told you about Clocky it was a prototype, but it recently entered the production phase and is now available online. A new and clean design, Clocky is now more compact and the beefier new wheels make it more durable. Oh, and if you want Clocky to stay put, just disable the wheels and hit the snooze as much as you'd...

Kelly Dobson's Blendie
I know I wasn't the only kid humming along with the household appliances trying to find the right harmony to make my head vibrate. Right? Um, anyway, MIT Media Lab's Kelly Dobson must have because one avenue of her work takes that interaction and flips it around. Blendie is part of her series called Machine Therapy which was undoubtedly influenced by her childhood spent...

Peyton's Podcast
Our friend Svenja noticed in this week's episode of the WB's 'One Tree Hill' that Peyton, one of the main characters, recorded her thoughts on a podcast. In the show's credits, after the usual 'songs you heard in this episode' promotion, viewers were invited to link to iTunes. There, as this week's feature, you can subscribe to a season of Peyton's teen angst. We'll...
