This is one smart device. When you have no visitors, the Party Timer is simply a cool digital clock, but as you start hanging out with more of your friends, this gadget analyzes the noise level and displays what sort of party you are having.

The Party Timer predicts 9 different party types, simply by analyzing the average sound level in your home. The ratings range from the quiet “No Party” to the extreme “Atomic Party” which is comparable to nuclear war breaking out. — Andrew Dobrow

The Mirror Image Digital Clock might help you “reflect” on time you could of spent doing something else. Hardy har! Puns are funny. The Clock has an inverted readout on its base which then reflects into readable numbers using a mirror to project a mirror image.

Because of its slightly bent face, which points downwards to the inverted numbers, the mirrored surface acts as a unique messenger boy for your LED numbers. We don’t know how easy this would be to notice by other people who have no idea about its mirror goodness, but at least you’d know how cool you are. Available now for Â¥68,250 (appx. $571 USD.) Aye caramba! *whisper* Expensive! — Andrew Dobrow

The chill of winter might be slowly leaving its icy grip behind, but it’s never too early to start preparing for next winter. And what else would a geek use other than a radiator with a clock in it? This Tubor Mirrored Radiator is the complete definition of geek-chic.

Its mirrored surface contains a back lit panel which creates a halo-like glow around itself, creating an illusion of warmth. Even better, the Mirrored Radiator runs off of both water and electricity, depending on your energy wiring and is available in two sizes. Oh, and don’t forget about the digital clock! — Andrew Dobrow

In the 80’s, Casio was the king of campy gadgets that they knew would make us look back from the future to giggle and prod at. The Casio Robot Alarm Clock doesn’t fail in that venture either.

The stumpy, and almost awkwardly heavy-looking Robot Alarm Clock would of thrilled any child of the 80’s, both then and now. But what would a child of the present say? “Why doesn’t the chart in the middle mooooove? Where are the blinking numbers? What’s this talk about a clock having arms and a face?”

It’s sad, but true. Children have become so accustomed to the typical digital read-out that we’re afraid most wouldn’t be able to tell the time on an average everyday analog clock. And schools aren’t doing much to keep our children informed about our time-telling past. Is this what the future has come to? Forgetting everything that has led up to now?

Ok, so we might be taking this a little to far. The nostalgia of seeing this Casio Robot clock just has a way of playing with our heart strings more then any drama movie or digital clock ever could. Eh, the robot looks stupid anyway. Maybe the 80’s weren’t the fabulous times we remember. — Andrew Dobrow
