Robotic alarm clock
challenges snoozers

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.: Before you hit the snooze
button a second time on this alarm clock,
you’ll have to hunt it down.

The shag carpet-covered robotic alarm clock
on wheels, called Clocky, rolls away and hides.

The clock is the invention of Gauri Nanda, a
graduate student – and occasional over-
sleeper – who works in the Media Lab at the
Massachusetts Institution of Technology. Nanda
said she wanted Clocky to remind its owners
of a troublesome pet.

Um, yeah. Obviously, I'm back. I've been back for two days, actually. Canada was... amazing. Toronto was gorgeous. Went to Ottowa, Montreal, Quebec, and some other places. East Coast. ...yeah.

i've been through there once....

It's pretty cold here in the winter, but it's really hot in the summer. I like our winters better. Was born in the winter. You?

I'm a winter baby too ^_^ So was my brother actually. My dad is the only one in my imidiate family that was born in the summer.
~Leaf~

Does your brother like winter too? Mum was Winter baby, but Dad was Autumn, I think.

i think he does, he went to school where they get even more snow then here, so i'd say he likes it. ^_^
~Leaf~

How much further north can you get? Maine? Canada? Alaska? At the very least, he doesn't mind it.

Mom was born 2 days after me (er... you know what I mean) but she doesn't like the cold very much.

He's still in michigan, just a different part of the U.P. up in the large hook off to the west.

Lol my mom perfers the warmth too, she's the same month as me. Maybe it's a mom thing -lol-
~leaf~

Oh, I see. I wouldn't mind going north, but I'd rather not live too far south. Why do people want to go to tropical islands anyway? There's so much sun!

Maybe it's a get-older thing. Maybe when we're older (yes, I know you're older than me) we'll like warmth more too.

LoL maybe so, i should like warmth more, as i'm arthritic already but i still love the cold and i can't sleep if it's more then 55 degrees out (can't sleep well anyway) i have to have a fan on me. it sucks.
I'm just a cold weather type ^_^
~Leaf~

Oh well, you like what you like.

O_O You're even worse than me! I can sleep up to 77 or possibly more if I'm tired enough. A fan is a pretty good idea, though...

yep! i'm horridable....(yes i wrote that wrong on puropose) wheeee e-bounces around-

Hyper-osity! You read Terry Pratchett, right? Ever read Hogfather?

-blinks- nope, but i've heard of it.
~Leaf~

*blinks back* Nope you never read Terry Pratchett or Nope you never read Hogfather?

nope to both ^_^
~Leaf~

Oh! Well, Terry Pratchett writes the Discworld series which includes the Hogfather. I recommend it/him very much! ^_^

lol alright, i'll keep that in mind.
~Leaf~

^_^ Yay!
