So last night I received an email about a new comment that had been posted:

Hello,

Clocky, the alarm clock that runs away to get you out of bed, received a lot of attention back when he was only a prototype. We have recently launched him commercially and we think your readers may be interested in the story!

Clocky features a customizable snooze time, a sleek new look, and is available in 3 colors. You can find pictures of Clocky and a press release available for download here: http://nandahome.com/nanda.presskit.zip. He is available online for $49.99 USD at nandahome.com and at the MOMA design store in NYC. More retail availability will be announced soon.

Feel free to contact us if you need more info.

Thanks!

I was at Sam’s house, so I told him, “I don’t know if my readers would be interested, but I am!” We got online and looked at their website for the little running clock. I have to admit, I’m sold. The little running alarm clock is the cutest thing.

I  know some people are offended by this kind of advertising, but as an advertising major myself, I think it’s great. Word of mouth is by far the best way the best way to get the word out about anything. And blogs are all about word of mouth. And like I said, I’m sold. If I had $50 extra to spend on an alarm clock, this would be the one.

 It’s at least worth a trip to YouTube to see it in action.

I must be behind the times, because I just yesterday discovered a whole new world - Technorati.  It’s a sort of social networking site for bloggers. I love reading blogs online, hearing about what people all over the world are doing. My favorite part is the watchlist where you can add topics that you are interested in and it pulls up blogs that talk about that subject. I can read about people all over who are making granny squares (my current craft project).

Come check me out at Technorati! 

Ah the innocence of children.

My parents have given us some stuff that they have purchased for our new home. One of my favorite things they gave us was a Pop Art toaster that toasts pictures onto the bread. Our toaster toasts a coffee cup and a sunshine on bread. I can’t wait to use it!

At a yard sale they picked us up a waffle maker that makes waffles in the shape of Bugs Bunny. Our food is going to be the coolest in town.
I had never heard of anything like the Pop Art toaster. You can imagine my surprise when we were shopping at Tuesday Mornings and saw the vast variety of waffle makers and toasters available. I think my favorite is the Pooh waffle maker (”There’s Pooh on your toast!”)
