Wake Up To Your Own Voice!

For this Friday's Dick's Gadget Warehouse I found the Wake Yoo Alarm Clock. This was a clever device that was around for a few years but didn’t make a big noise. When I said didn’t make a “big noise”, I meant in sales. The Wake Yoo website now says: “Might be for sale" – and it’s one of those ‘parking websites’ which has nothing to do with the clock.  The idea of the clock is clever. You record your own message or sounds right into the Wake Yoo Alarm Clock built in memory chip. It’s only a ten second chip, but it was enough to record your own reminders or wake -up message.  And it was really easy to do. Just hold the big 'record button' on the front of the clock and start recording the message. That message will wake you up every morning until you decide to change it. You could have given this clock to a loved one and let them hear your voice every morning or you could record something you think might motivate yourself to get going in the early hours. There’s a built-in volume control that let the message playback loudly for heavy sleepers. It sold for about $20. You can still see it here and there on the web, but all the places that list it have “no longer available” printed below the clock. It was available from about 2001 to 2005.

Again, thank you all for listening! I LOVE recording the Daily Giz Wiz with Leo & I'm thrilled others enjoy our silliness, I mean, our seriousness!
