Eh, I seriously wouldn't rely on a website to wake me up. Computer pukes. Power outage. Etc. I'll stick with my trusty cell phone which will stay powered up even through a power outage. BTW, my song is "I got you babe" by Sonny and Cher. +1 for anyone who get's the joke. ;)

This, then cell phone 10 minutes later. Easy enough, and I might give it a shot.

Waking up angry is exactly what I want.. at least I'll wake up that way.

This is a solution in search of a problem

- Get an alarm clock that plays cds

- Burn/insert cd

- All set! Plus you aren't wasting power by leaving your computer on all night

PS: I recommend Massive Attack - Future Proof. The slow start is pretty much perfect.

my laptops and various other machines are on 24/7 anyway. Why should I buy more hardware and burn...cds?

The idea of burning cds makes me think of my adolescence. Seems rather primitive, unnecessary and inconvenient.

This is pretty much all I want out of an alarm, not that I'd pay for this since I could hack up the js myself.

Am I missing something, or does this just redirect you to your video when it's time for the alarm to go off?

Some people may prefer it to an alarm sound, but it's hardly a new idea.

Am I mistaken in assuming this is based on your local servers timezone? I set a test alarm and it didn't go off.
[+] corin_|15 years ago|reply
No, it's based on your local time, although it does seem to be a bit buggy.

I'm in Japan and it worked for me.

Wouldn't it have to start out lightly to be considered "lightly"wake.me? I was hoping the site would start with a low volume and slowly become louder over time.
