Wake Up and Smell the You-Know-What

by domestika on August 16, 2008

“More bacon insanity!” crows a recent note from the gadget-loving DJ.

Typically man-like, he claims to be pining for a Wake ‘n’ Bacon alarm clock.

Never mind a blaring buzzer in your sleepy ear, or even the questionably less-jarring sounds of morning radio, this wake-up call will cook your breakfast as it wafts you to wakefulness with the nose-tingling scent of bacon.

This concept for an alarm clock would let you pick which fragrance you’d like it to emit, and set a timer. Fall asleep to the sweet scent of lavendar, for example, and wake to home-baked bread. Sadly, it’s all cartridge-based; actual flowers and baked goods not included.

My pleasure, Jay - you always find the very coolest gadgets. Speaking of which, I know someone who would be quite ridiculously enchanted with Darth Vader’s T.I.E. Cam.
Okay, make that “several people” who would be quite enchanted… ;)

I dunno how cognizant I am of smells when I’m asleep. I think the blaring noise suits me better. Whenever I wake up to the smell of bacon I never get downstairs fast enough to get some. :P
