Haha fair enough.
I want the lights in the room to turn on, or better yet fade on. Waking up in the pitch blank sucks (in the summer its light when i wake up and i love life, in the winter its dark and every morning i hate waking up).
The only way I can think to accomplish that is with an Arduino. I know there are alarm clocks that do it for you, but i'd really like to wire it into my ceiling light.
