It’s no Clocky, but this alarm clock innovates in a way that’s charming in and of itself. Rather than just having an annoying buzzer, not unlike the sound of creeping death to wake you up, it has a big, red, flashing light. Put it close enough to you and the pulsing redness is supposed to do enough to wake you, and only you, up. And yes, it also has an annoying buzzer.

I like it, mainly because I’ve been woken up too many times in the past by my tactless roommate’s BlackBerry while I was trying to recover from the previous night’s festivities.
