The ear alarm

eartimer1.jpg

The ear-timer is a wearable mini-timer that secretly wakes you up or lets you know when a dish is ready. It is said to be useful for nurses to remember the time to give a patient their medicine, especially because the beeps are designed to be heard only by the wearer. It can be set in 5 minutes or 30 minutes intervals.

I could do with one to remind me that it's time to feed the dogs or get away from the computer and get a life... like now!

From Odd things from Japan.
