Ten (intentionally) annoying alarm clock designs. I've blogged about some of these before, like "Clocky" the #1 pick.

I find the puzzle one notable because I've had the idea to do something similar, like writing a program that wouldn't stop making noise until I added two long numbers together. But I'm afraid that I'd just shut the speakers off, or unplug the computer. So using a physical puzzle intrigues me.

Another low-budget idea: Lock your alarm clock in a box, and put the key far away somewhere. Maybe next to the coffee machine.

that was amusing. I don't have a problem waking up and getting up with a mundane alarm, but I suspect if I did, I would "accidentally" forget to turn these devices on more often than not.
