It’s the same for all of us. We’re just trying to pass the time and get all of our work finished so that we can enjoy those two magical days known as the weekend. The weekend is a magical land where the sun shines a little brighter, the birds sing a little softer, and dreams linger like clouds in your head allowing you to sleep in and catch up on rest.

Yes, the Weekend is awesome. And this clock keeps track of the weekend. For you see, there’s always another weekend just around the corner.

The Early Bird alarm clock from Fred & Friends will wake you up gently with the sounds of birdsong. The little bird icon even glows, like some sweet avian angel of addiction, subtly reminding you that Twitter awaits on the intertubez.

This bird themed alarm is easy to set and comes with automatic snooze. Which I suppose beats a shotgun sound effect to quiet those birds.

This clock tells time with it’s googly-eyes, so no matter what the hour, it’s always goofy. It’s from designer Mike Mak, who states that the “Eyeclock is a pleasuring clock which gives pleasure while telling you time.”

I don’t know about you, but being pleasured by googly eyes doesn’t seem all that pleasurable. If the photos are any indication, the right eye circles around as the minutes tick by, while the right eye swirls slower for the hours. Sure, it’s cute, but would you want to look at it all day?

Want to wake up in the morning only to have your brain trained with a retro memory game? Here’s the ticket. This alarm clock will not shut up until you play a version of the vintage game and get it right.

If you correctly remember the sequence of lights and press the buttons on the clock in the correct order, you can earn some peace and quiet, then either get out of bed or go back to sleep. On the other hand, you can always smash it to bits. I don’t see any info on price or availability.

Out of all of the gadgets that we own, alarm clocks are our least favorite. They are probably the most hated gadget period. Anything that wakes you from your peaceful slumber on a daily basis deserves to be smashed, if not thrown out the window to be run over by a dump truck.

That’s the idea behind the Smash Clock. To turn off the Smash Clock’s alarm, there’s no fumbling required to find the right button. Just punch it. The top is nice and soft. By punching it aggressively, you wake up more fully, not to mention the fact that you’ve gotten some aggression out of your system first thing.

Jud Turner has some skeletons in his closet. Lately he’s been letting them out and creeping out the world at large. A few days back we told you about his Bio-cycle. You know, the thing that looks like a Terminator on a bike.

If the Bio-cycle clues us in on the future of Terminator transport, this “Trilo Temporalis” trilobite fossil clock shows us that fossils were creepy, like to tell time, and are itching to get into the whole Steampunk thing. The working antique clock embedded in the head illustrates the passage of time and the connection between prehistoric and modern eras.

Here’s a great design that can’t make up it’s mind as to whether it’s from the future or the past. We like it. The Time Tuner was created by Istanbul-based Antrepo Design Industry, who decided against the traditional digital clock face. It instead boasts an analog style that resembles a radio tuner.

It’s a lot like our favorite watches from Tokyoflash. The numbers along the length of the dial light-up to show you the hour. At the same time, an illuminated vertical red line moves across the dial for minutes. If you’re looking for a clock with style, look no further.

Swearing has lost it’s luster, let’s face it. Words that used to have an impact just don’t do it anymore. We’ve become de-sensitized. We need a new way to sling profanity. Like with a clock. The Super Electrofluorescent Profanity Machine will generate random four-letter words for you at the rate of one per second. The machine was constructed from fluorescent vacuum tubes, and also tells time. We just love clocks that use vacuum tubes, but we never thought we would see them swearing.

It will cost you $125, but if you have the money, it’s an interesting take on the whole tube/clock/swearing thing. According to the designer, every four-letter English word could possibly show up on the display. To prevent gibberish, the device is programmed to display pronounceable words, not just random letters.

You have to love these antique designed radios. And it looks all the better for not having an iPod dock. The St Louis Aerial Clock Radio was inspired by airplane cockpit controls of the 1920’s. The radio has toggle switches and a tuning dial that lights up.

Probably the most interesting feature is that it displays the time in 4 separate circular digital windows. It’s constructed of Steel and plastic and will only play AM/FM channels. Not a single input for you MP3 player, which is pretty refreshing. The Aerial Clock Radio retails for £49.95, which is a bargain for this kind of design.

Check out this retro Pin Art Clock. 3000 pins will tell you the time. It’s like you have Pinhead from Hellraiser trapped in a box and he’s forced to rear his head to tell you what time it is.

“Inspired by the popular Pin Art toy that uses moving pins to form the impression of one’s hand, this creation makes watching the clock a mesmerizing experience. The minutes click ahead with a sound that evokes the classic flip of the numbers at airports or train stations, combining aural ambience with visual style.”

Here’s a clock for those who have no clock and a spare lemon tree in the backyard. The tree will come in handy since this clock is powered by the energy of a lemon, which will power it for a week or longer. The design is intended to remind us that nature is still our direct energy source.

When life hands you lemons and a lemon powered clock, most people would just make lemonade and get the time from the microwave. But some of us will put lemons on our clock, and through the sour sucking power of citrus, attract fruit flies until we give up this novelty clock design.

This old school retro TV looking thing is actually an alarm clock that will wake you up with classic game show themes and color changing text patterns. Luckily it includes a remote so you can shut it off quickly. It doesn’t say which game show themes it plays, but rest assured they are going to be annoying.

Just imagine waking up to the Price Is Right theme. Or not waking up and having that music influence your dreams. You’d be stuck in a nightmare gameshow void. “Come on down! You’re the next contestant on ‘Let’s Wake Up To a Crap-gadget’.” No whammies. No Whammies. Stop! I’d like to buy a vowel. I’ll take “Really pissed off and not ready for work” for $600 Alex. And so on.

Just when you thought it was safe here comes yet another wacky clock. A very boxy and not swell to look at clock. This one is a lot like the Coin Lamp, in that it is a money hungry device. This Money-Saving BanClock makes you insert a coin of any value or currency before it will shut up. I think that’s called extortion. This clock/bank will hold about $25 before it needs to be emptied.

You’ll need a supply of coins by the clock so you can shut it up without punching a hole in it. What’s with these savings devices though? It used to be that people were disciplined enough to save on their own without a device encouraging them.

Nixie clocks may be the best way to keep time that man has invented. So when you combine the Nixie clock with a table, the results are surely awesome right? Yes and no. The tubes look great on the antique table, the problem is that it is a very small table that will fit on a desk. What we need is to up the tube size and up the table size. Maybe make it mantle size to put on your fireplace mantle. Somebody needs to get on this right away.The nixie clock needs to go giant, and now! How about a giant nixie clock on a building? On top of a stadium. Yes, let’s go bigger people.

Geeks with no Dark lord to bow down to will want to hang this Darth Vader clock on their wall. Then once a day bow down on one knee and ask “What is thy bidding master?”. That’s probably when your mom will sound off from the other side of your door and tell you to do some laundry. That is thy bidding.

This clock is actually kind of sad. Vader just looks silly impaled with clock hands on his forehead. It’s from England’s Wesco Limited and measures over 6 inches tall, features glowing red eyes, and includes a Vader sound effect. It also requires 3 x AAA batteries. It will cost you $34.99 in disposable geek income.
