There’s a new clock radio called Ambient Mist that can also get news and data feeds like weather that are transmitted over a nation-wide wireless network.  But what’s even cooler is that the device has its own e-mail address, so friends can send you messages that appear on-screen.

Imagine the fun you could have with sending messages to people’s alarm clock!  Things like:

“Get up, you lazy bum!”
“Are you gonna be late AGAIN?”
“I pity the fool!”
“The weather forecast is chili today and hot tamale.”
“I’ve got gas!”
