Clocky Lives!

Last year I heard about this fabulous prototype alarm clock coming out of MIT called Clocky. An alarm clock on wheels that moves around beeping, annoying you to the point you have to rise, chase it, and turn it off? Put me on the list to purchase! I have sleeping/rising issues--I've gotten to the point where putting the alarm clock in the kitchen so I have to walk downstairs to turn it off is the most viable option to get me to wake up.

I am pleased to let you know Clocky is now on the market.

Okay, and I also want to see if the cats adopt it and treat it like a kitten. Will they groom Clocky? Will they play with it? Will they figure out how to turn it off? Because I can't use them as an alarm clock anymore--they've decided morning is sleepy warm time. Cain lays on my chest to trap me so Sidecar feels safe enough to lay beside me. Mencken contemplates making coffee, but eventually decides I am not worthy of such courtesies.
