Our commenters on the Chumby hollowed-out book are right: we need a Chumby guts Photoshop competition. But in the meantime check out this “Chumbaphone,” which squeezes Chumby guts into a wooden clock, adding brass horns for that authentic Wi-Fi experience.
This clock, spotted at Design Miami, features an LCD face playing a 24-hour loop of a man erasing and redrawing the time every minute. Well, that, or some poor soul needs food and water ASAP. [Thanks Buster!]
Like a giant Tokyo Flash watch, this binary clock installation at the Technical University of Wroclaw, Poland, was erected by students hoping to promote the technical nature of their university. How noble.

Dance, dance to much booty in the, um, wrists? Your fingers have to dance like they’ve never danced before to shut off the alarm. Hope you don’t suck at Tap Tap Revenge. $US16. [Thumbsupuk via OhGizmo via Engadget]
This is the iLuv iMM153 Desktop Dual Alarm Clock for iPod, which has a bed shaker that is supposed to wake you up better than any alarm. Obviously, these guys haven’t tried this with me yet.
