Clocky became fickle the night before filming and Gauri was up until the wee hours of the morning making sure that the prototype Clocky was going to behave on camera. Luckily, Clocky got up his nerve for the live segment. Watch Clocky make his way around the GMA set: Posted in Press Wednesday, April 6th, 2005 Gauri was interviewed by Sean Cole for NPR today. He came to visit her at the M.I.T. Media Lab to find out what Clocky is all about. Clocky is still a prototype and has kinks to be sorted out. At one point, Gauri demonstrated her proof-of-concept Clocky and Sean suggests that Clocky is trying to “hump” his tape recorder. He’s still a pup, it’s not his fault! Listen here.
