Fun Gadgets – The DIY MP3 Alarm Clock

Here’s a fun gadget to wake you up in the morning the DIY MP3 Alarm Clock.

Waking up sucks. Gone are the dreams of controlling vast worlds of computer codes using only our thoughts; gone are the fantasies of bikini clad night elves. What we are left with is the piercing klaxon from our alarm clock, angrily commanding us to wake up. Wouldn’t it be nice to be awakened by the soothing sounds of the beach? Or maybe sweet jungle noises with monkeys and guitars? We think so. And that’s why we bring you the DIY MP3 Alarm Clock – to put you in a better mood from the moment you open your eyes.

With cool retro styling, this MP3 Alarm Clock will let you wake up how you want to. Just plug it the USB cable (which conveniently hides in the back of the unit) and use the software to hand select your alarm. You can choose from the banks of sounds (which you can stack in any order and combination you desire) or stick in your own MP3 file (up to 45 seconds worth). Then you can wake up with an alarm that fits the groove of your life.

Here’s the specs.

• Customize your alarm clock with any combo of included sounds, or use an MP3 file of your choice (up to 45 seconds)
• Hands glow in the dark
• Real metal bells (don’t ring, but ping nicely if you flick them)
• Approx. 7″ x 5″ x 2.5″
• USB cord length: approx. 22″
• Batteries: 3 AA

The DIY MP3 Alarm clock is available to buy online for $19.99 from Think Geek.
