No More Snoozing

[hastur]

I didn't mean any disrespect towards Gutt or yourself(I still play with my cube now and then also). People just seem to use the word "novelty" as a bad term with negative baggage. People that invent those things are brilliant!

As always, I have another book suggestion: "Multiple streams of Income" by Robert Allen. I'm not saying you MUST apply the principles in the book, but it'll give a basic idea of what I mean.

Sorry, don't mean to preach or seem 'snooty'

Whenever I decide to ride the bus to school (I'm occassionally too lazy or short on gas to drive from Spokane to Cheney), there's always this guy on there with his rubics cube. The man can put that thing together in just a few minutes... it was cool the first time, but now it just seems kind of pathetic (gotta start wondering how much time he's actually spending with that thing if it's so easy for him).

Anyway, I just use my cell phone as an alarm now. Just set it on my table across the room with its charger so I have to get out of bed to turn it off.

haha ya really, cant this problem just be solved by having an alarm clock out of arms reach?

To walk across the room and turn off a cell phone or alarm clock doesn't take much brain power. Walking through the room and trying to find the pesky noisemaker takes critical thinking and firing of certain brain neurons to force your brain out of its theta wave state into an alpha wave and waking you up.

Do I seem to high on this idea?

During school, I was the snooze button king. My father would come in early morning before I woke up and hid my alarm clock all the time. This idea just hits home for me

Rubik's Cubes ( ) are awesome. I have about 10 of them combined at work and at home. I am one of those who can solve one as well...normally takes me about 3-4 minutes to do leisurely unless I am trying to go fast. Then it takes me 2-3.

I also love this idea. I am so bad with alarm clocks that usually, my "alarm clock" is my roommate's girlfriend or my neighbor. On my clock, it is so easy to simply turn off the alarm clock that I never press snooze, and end up sleeping until Noon. this thing would help.

Though I would miss my current "alarm clocks" rousing me from a good 4 hour sleep...

That sounds neat...but I think I'll stick with my good old snooze button as well, it is yet to fail me. (Since mine won't allow you to snooze more than 4 times.)


Sort of looks like a meatloaf...

LOL Joshboy !!

thats insane there is a guy at my work that does it about that fast too....and he makes like the last 8 or so moves without even looking at the cube. the futhest ive got is getting 3 sides .. after that point i cant make the other sides right without destroying the ones i already did right. ive actually thrown it in frustration before

I heard about these radios a little while back as well. A friend and I started kicking around the idea for a good ole fashioned RFing. Imagine sneaking into someone's house and setting these clocks up all over the house, hidden so that they are out of view. It'd be like Chinese water torture.
