Etch a Sketch clock

Awesome.

I wouldn’t be getting any work done!

Neat.

I just had an amazing nerdgasm.

Not so great…there’s a 30-second period every minute where it doesn’t tell you what time it is, because it’s busy erasing and rewriting.

Imagine a large turntable, its circumference lined with sixty of these machines, facing outwards - the turntable rotates 6 degrees each second (completing a full rotation in one minute, There’s a window through which you can view the machine displaying the correct time, including seconds - once it has passed out of view, it begins writing the time to be displayed a minute hence.

In fact, if it only does take 30 seconds to draw the time, then we’d only need 30 machines on a turntable rotating twice per minute - and each machine would get two duties per minute.

Oh, like your time is sooo important. :smiley:

So why does he need a second one, on his wrist?

totally awesome. this from a geek wannabe. :stuck_out_tongue:
and yeah, i want one for my office desk.

I want one that renders web pages. Granted, 0.03 fps frame rate means flash games aren’t going to be very playable…
