I found this thing about the Microsoft Imagine cup 2011. Its a student tech competition focused on finding solutions to real world issues, which I thought was relevant to our last 112 project.

Have trouble waking up in the morning?

I have trouble waking up in the morning, and got very good at sleeping through my old alarm clock. I got so frustrated one day that I googled “most annoying alarm clocks" and found this webpage. I then ordered my new alarm clock and haven’t missed a class since (:

So if you’re anything like me take a look at the site bellow, and order your new alarm clock.
