The Just A Moment Clock

By Abby McVay on Monday, Nov 5th 2007 No Comments

Yet another odd clock to adorn your walls. It seems that more and more strange clocks are coming out of the woodwork. I feel a bit odd having a normal clock, I might becoming a bit of a minority. This Just A Moment Clock is odd, but it does keep a sleek and sophisticated look to it.

wayfinderSure, you could buy one of these and pretend like you know something about following directions and using a compass, or you could just quit playing macho and go buy something with GPS and a touchscreen. No seriously, how many of you out there actually know what a compass is let alone how to use one?

I learned, thanks to the BSA, I am pretty sure it’s a requirement along the way to getting your Eagle Scout, but after I learned how to use a map and compass and other markers to find my way if I ever got lost, I started realizing how few other people know how to. With this day and age of everything even my iPod Touch (thanks to some hacking) having maps, and more devices every day, including my Helio, having GPS, its only gotten worse.

Well you see, it’s a clock, and the time, its displayed in binary with lights. There is a row for each hours, minutes, and seconds.

The columns are in binary starting at the left with 32 and then decreasing by half all the way down to 1. I have no clue what the top most row is for, as the bottom three are the rows that actually tell time.

It looks weird, but in a good way, like it could transform into iPodimus Prime at any point. Anyways, the thing perched on its edge are the speaker portions of the device, the front section is the clock and the media selector/controller.

A grand total of 20 watts of output isn’t bad for a clock radio, my Altec Lansing 2.1 system only puts out 12 watts, and I wouldn’t have traded it for a thing, until one of the satellites blew. So there are four quarters if you will to the front of this device, the top right is the iPod dock, top left is the media selector/controller and the bottom two is the clock.

You get roughly a minute and a half before you start losing some of your hearing, but at 113 decibels, if you don’t wake up before a minute and a half, you must be deaf already or dead. You can set the volume, but it maxes out at 113 decibels.

There is also a thing to vibrate the bed, I would assume you’d place the item beneath the mattress. Hopefully, for your neighbors sake, you can use that combination and wake up with a lower volume setting than 113 decibels.

Remember when you were a kid and you got those little spy kits that had the 3D writing thing where it supposedly hid the message, even though you could read it as long as you didn’t try and focus the two? Same concept, but with a clock.

The Seeing Double clock from ChillyChilly has the hours and the minutes transposed over each other in red and green. The hour and minute hands have different color filters on them, the hour hand is red, the minute hand is green, so when the minute hand is over one of the 12 locations, only the red shows through and its whatever minute marker that is, 5, 10, 15, 20, you get the idea.

Combining gadgets always offers a bit more simplicity. Its even better when they make some sneaky statement, such as the Time is Money Clock.

When I first saw this thing I thought it was a dual purpose alarm clock and coffee maker, but its not, just the projection clock. You can dim the light behind it, or change the focus if you want.

Me, myself, and I, as I sit here writing this, am thinking about ways to mod it to make it better, such as changing the clock face, applying a light filter for different colors of like, things like that. That would make it cool, or if it was weather proof and you could project it outside, just screw people up by setting it to the wrong time.

This Vader alarm clock has a frickin laser to display the time on your wall, ceiling, face, wherever you aim it pretty much. It will also display the Vader name.

There is a Vader figurine on the left of the alarm clock, and a red hemisphere on the right. The hemisphere acts as a night light as well as a snooze button of enormous proportions.

Mod – Hard drive clock

By Chris on Monday, Sep 17th 2007 No Comments

We see a lot of strange and geeky clocks around here. Most of them are just silly or cheesy. Ones that use PC parts generally just use them as a face with the regular clock mechanism ticking around it. Well this clock hack is certainly one of the most original, as it uses the platter and needle from the hard drive to tell you the time.
