A Blog of Geek Eccentricities
Ever seen the binary clocks they sell at Think Geek? A coworker has one and I have no idea why they would want to obfuscate time like that.
OK, I love it.Except that 3(pi -0.14) is not equal to 9.Other than that, I love it.
At least these ones have numbers. The one that are concentric circles with light appear to be made just to not tell time.
"Except that 3(pi -0.14) is not equal to 9."Well, it is hard to see, but on the clock face 3(pi -0.14) is offset by approximately .143 degrees to account for the approximately 17.2 second difference from 9.
