Avoid Annoying Roommates From Having Their Alarm Clocks Wake You Up

I used to have a roommate who could sleep through his alarm clock like a champion. If there were some kind of bizarro Olympics for this sort of thing, he would have a world record that would never be broken. I actually didn’t need an alarm clock, I just needed his on most days. At least he played decent music, and didn’t have that annoying buzzer.

There is now an invention to have an alarm clock that should (theoretically) wake only you up – The Chirp Alarm Clock (via Technabob). The Chirp Alarm Clock comes with a detachable, vibrating clip that you place somewhere near you – your pillow, your shirt, your private parts anywhere – and it vibrates when the alarm goes off. To stop it, you need to place the chip back into the alarm clock, or else that rage-inducing beeping will begin, thus ruining your day.

The clock is only in pre-production and trying to determine pricing over at Quirky. Right now it’s around $18 US, so I’m sure we could lower that, can’t we?
