] The Anemone Clock is an alarm clock that was designed to
] awaken a person with a little more personality. Unlike
] other alarm clocks, the Anemone clock challenges a person
] when awakening. The twist to this clock is that when the
] alarm goes off the clock rumbles intensely, therefore
] making it a little harder to find the off switch. The
] clock also bounces away from the origin, due to the
] rumbling, thus creating another challenge of getting out
] of bed and chasing the clock around the room, kind of
] like a pet. After capturing the clock, one must hold on
] to the clock while the clock rumbles the person awake.
] This clock was designed because alarm clocks are just to
] easy to turn off, which generally leads back to sleeping
] again. The Anemone clock awakens a person by means of
] sound, light, movement, and interaction.

Sounds like fun, except that I suspect that my "other" pet
alarm clock would take a great interest in getting out of bed
and chasing the clock around the room and then reducing it to
small rubber and plastic pieces. Noisy, expensive chew toy.
