Unrelenting Frustration: Alarm Clock Edition

Note to the world, never buy me this. It would be in seventeen pieces the first morning it went off. This, this bad thing, is a Mensa alarm clock which wakes you with a varying pattern of lights that you must replicate to turn it off (kinda like those Simon games, but pure evil). If you don’t repeat the sequence correctly, it gets louder. The cost for such a source of torment to you and yours? $41.

Why do people make things?

Here’s a device made specifically for my brain.  Art Lebedev, pervayors of cool stuff I can’t afford, have released a clock which tells the time in words rather than with numbers.  Apparently, I’m not the only person who has to shoehorn their brain into “change numbers to words mode” to read the time out loud when someone asks…or I am and this is just a really cool concept.  Either way, its far too expensive at $190, so I won’t be buying it any time soon.
