    I normally don’t post gadget concepts because mainly they never leave the design’s portfolio and enter production. Also, most are dumb. But not this one. I can get on this concept train and ride it all the way to dreamland.

    The Day Maker, as explained by designer Michale Kritzer, is a bedside iDevice charger that doubles as an alarm clock. The fun comes when the alarm buzzes and the phone will pop — like toast! because toast is a morning food! — and then you have the option of grabbing your phone and starting your day. Or, as I would, slam the phone back down into the clock for a few more minutes of sleep. Clever and tasty.
