Interesting. I’m going to put that in favorites for New Years.

I’m just going to be sitting in this chair anyway.

Hey, non-EST Dopers, does it pull your settings to adjust for the time zone?

It’s a Japanese domain, so I would say it does.

It actually pulls the time from your computer.

Watch it when it turns over a minute - it turns over the same as your computer clock.

I’ve been looking for this link, seen it before. It’s cool - thanks!
