Clock radio with ethernet (ntp, remote alarm set, wake up to mp3s,
etc). Mine is a couple of decades old, time for an upgrade.
I've been thinking the same thing, except the key feature I'm after is
a morning alertness test: to turn off the alarm, you have to play a
game of "simon", repeating some random pattern on four buttons, or
maybe even doing some math or something. The point of all that is
that I too often turn off the alarm without ever becoming fully awake,
and something like that would force my brain to wake up a bit.
And don't forget automatic weekday/weekend adjustments.
