Get wake up calls from the Internet

So I was trying to teach my nine-year-old son, Jack, how to set an alarm to wake up in the morning for school. Yeah I could set my own alarm and go wake him up, but I’m a DIY type of guy, like the whole “teach them how to grow corn, don’t just give them corn” philosophy.

Jack learned how to set the alarm easily, and everything seemed great. That was until our two-year-old son, Mack who has a passion for electronics, wasted no time making Jack’s alarm clock his the newest toy.

Placing the clock up high didn’t help either, as little Mack loves pulling the plugs on stuff.

Then I discovered iPing.com. It’s a service that lets you setup wake-up calls online for free. The phone is near Jack’s room so I figured this was perfect.

So until Mack figures out how to login to websites and adjust settings, I think we’re good.
