Wake up to your klokoo-clock
If you broke your alarm clock because it made you mad yesterday, so you ended its pathetic life, or even if you didn't, you might consider waking up to an online alarm clock at Klokoo.com. You might even say the Klokoo improves on the traditional alarm clock by offering new and different options to wake up to, including an adequately obnoxious rooster crowing, that classic alarm bip-bip sound, and your choice of hip-hop, rock, trance, and "french songs."
Besides your choice of music, you can also enter an rss feed (hopefully www.downloadsquad.com/rss.xml) to be displayed so that when you come to and scramble to your computer to turn off the alarm, or turn it up, you'll have the day's fresh news sitting there waiting for you.
Perhaps a few features would make this idea even better, including a multiple-feed rss reader, nothing fancy, but a way to get news from several sources, as well as the ability to enter your own internet radio station URL to be played upon wake-up would be especially helpful. The design isn't complete, and it is a work in progress, but it is an interesting approach to the age old problem of being awake. Coupled with enough strong coffee, you're on your way!
What better way for the geek to greet the world than use the web? Watch out for the trance station, that is almost more soothing than "wake-up" material, but to each their own.
Thanks Vincent!
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies.

It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

http://onlinealarm.net is wayyyyy better than this. No fancy bells & whistles - just the most annoying alarm you've ever heard.
