Just need to give the Freerunner some wheels (pun intended)

Very clever. This is the kind of innovation I look forward to from this group.

It should be possible to distinguish between intentional shaking and being thrown across the room, which would not reset the snooze but would keep on ringing.

Or you could use the accelerometer to "wind"up the clock/snooze. Just shake it two times to snooze for 1 min more or something like it. And after each snooze you have to shake more and more to get the same snoozetime, i.e. for the second snooze you'd have to shake say four times to add one minute.

    I have a similar problem, but came up with a slightly different
    approach.  I tend to snooze too much, so mine focuses on the snooze
    button.

    You'd start with 1 big snooze button that snoozes for x minutes.
    After x minutes, alarm sounds again, but there are now two or three
buttons. Maybe you have to hit them in a particular order. Maybe pick
    2 that are the right color. Snoozes for another x minutes.
    Next, has a screen with 9 buttons (big enough to use with fingers).
    The buttons flash (maybe play a sound) in a pattern. You have to
    repeat the pattern to snooze again.
    Etc

Have snooze time configurable. User enters comma-separated list. Last
    number in list is repeated. Ie "10,9,5"

    What do you think?
