Carpet Alarm Clock

Everyone loves to hit the snooze button in the morning. If you’re like me, you set your alarm clock a little bit early so you can smack the snooze button a couple times before finally getting up. However, the Carpet Alarm Clock aims to solve your snoozing syndrome by forcing you to get up to turn it off. That’s right, this thing forces you to get out of bed to turn it off by stepping on it. Genius! It’s also got an LCD to display the time.

The Carpet Alarm Clock was designed by Sofie Collin and Gustav Lanberg. One more pic after the jump.

Digital picture frames are nothing entirely new. Neither are digital frames with speakers. What makes this digital photo frame different from the rest is that the Mustek PF-A950PS sports NXT flat-panel speakers. No cheap mono speakers here. The NXT speakers provide rich audio to go with your images. The frame supports MP3 files for audio, AVI, MJPEG, and XVID for video, and JPEG for photos.

Nyko, known for making third-party accessories for gaming consoles, has released a wireless attachment for the Nintendo Wii’s Nunchuck. Simply attach the wireless transmitter to the bottom of the Wii-mote and connect the receiver to the Nunchuck and voila! You can now fling the Nunchuck at your TV.

Called the Cord-Free, it is powered by 2 AA batteries and gives you a range of 15 feet. For $20, I suppose that isn’t too bad of a deal, if you don’t mind the added bulk to the Nunchuck.

Press release.

But, I do like Strawberry Pocky. Cheetos and Strawberry Pocky sauce just might be the perfect cheese and fruit combination, right?

Ah, the crazy Japanese…
