I’ve posted about alarm clocks before and how they never break and how cheap I am and I won’t go out and spend money on something because mine works just fine.
However, that is before I heard about the Chumby.
It has a screen on it, it’s hackable, wifi enabled, I can control it from my computer!
It sounds like a computer geeks dream alarm clock. Like if you took a bunch of geeks and told them to design an alarm clock, this is what you get. Which incidentally is exactly how the Chumby came about.
Here are a couple more links about Chumby.
