I can't believe no-one has suggested kids. You can have mine for a while. I'd like a sleep in! |

In this part of the world, we don't have to worry about DST. :) |

I'm no help in your clock search but the feature on my alarm clock I love is that it doesn't just start blaring at full volume. It works itself up to a loud setting from a low one. It doesn't scare the beejeebus out of us in the morning. |

I am not sure about the atomic clock on this one.

For the OP, I have an Emerson Smartset CKS1851 and it works fine (*shrug*), but I found this:
maybe this can help |

Cellphones for the win...!!! |

I would make sure that you can plug your Ipod or Zune into it. That is just me though. |

On the fun side, ThinkGeek.com has a few quirky alarm clocks for sale. My brother has the Flying Alarm Clock but I think he has stopped using it since the morning it broke a key off of his laptop's keyboard.
Edit: He now wants the Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker

This clock doesn't set itself, but I set it when I got it and it has drifted less than 30 seconds over several months time. It does give you the ability to set a different alarm time for every day of the week, or turn certain days on/off. I'm really happy with this one.

Buy a rooster.
If it doesn't help you wake up, at least you have a Saturday night dinner available.

As per my original post, my current clock is an Oregon Scientific, and I'd be happy to go with another one from them, but I can't find a clock made by them that supports a weekday-only alarm. Do you know of one?
Thanks,
~Terry

No good. Manufacturing is inconsistent on these, as evidenced by the fact that the 5-7-2 feature does not work properly in some cases, what with the wife waking the husband up on the weekend to take care of chores and such.
Also, in the event I do get one of those, there's no warranty and the restocking fees are very steep.

Hey Terry,
This one seems to offer what you're after, with the exception of the weather data. |

Problem with that is I frequently put my phone on vibrate or silent.

The alarm on my phone works even if it's on silent. |
Mine doesn't. It's based on Windows Mobile 5.

I'm allergic, plus they don't adjust to daylight saving time, and can't be set not to wake you on weekends. :-รพ

Alarm Kitties aren't that reliable. Mine waits until I actually start moving which is usually about 20-30 minutes after the radio comes on. |
