Wake up - the cool way

Today my iBook woke me up - with some nice music that faded in. I found a really, really great designed alarm application called Awaken.

Awakens interface is simple, beautiful and userfriendly - it's the way that interfaces should be! An alarm clock is a very simple application, but the interface can be done in a very bad way (I have tried some other alarm applications where the interface was just horrible). Here is a little screenshot from Awaken:

Other that that, there is a very interesting post about alarm clocks: Alarm clocks are bad. How to wake up and feel better. A recommended read.
