Tyrant alarm clock

Alice Wang’s tyrant makes waking up a little more important… via Engadget.

This alarm clock steals your mobile phone and randomly shuffles through your contact list and calls someone every three minutes after the desired wake up time.

This looks like a concept piece, but you could actually build one of these in few ways… Bluetooth snarf a phonebook, or just allow contacts to be transfered, use the phone SIM and GSM module, or connect up with a web service that shares your contacts with your phone and dial’em up via Skype.
