This is a fun and amusing gift from my wife. A novelty clock with different liquids with differing weights. You can rotate the clear section and watch the liquids change places like an hourglass.
Cool.
Trekrospective
A look back at Star Trek, from the Original Series to the Abrams Reboot.
Final Fantasy X
A game about the ghost of an underwater football player who travels through time to save the world from a tick that controls kaiju satan. Really.
The Gameplay is the Story
Some advice to game developers on how to stop ruining good stories with bad cutscenes.
Artless in Alderaan
People were so worried about the boring gameplay of The Old Republic they overlooked just how boring and amateur the art is.
Project Frontier
A programming project where I set out to make a gigantic and complex world from simple data.
That is cool. I got a time piece, too.

It’s pretty cool, except that you have to press the button on it to get it to light up, so you need both hands free to see what time it is. My three year-old loves it. He counts the number of lights lit up and tells me it’s howevermanythatis o’clock. Very cute.
A friend/former co-worker of mine has a similar binary desk clock:

When I first saw it, it took me a few seconds to realize what it was. Definitely a very cool toy. Jeremiah was able to read it just by glancing at it; for the rest of us, who didn’t use it every day, it was a nice bit of mental distraction. Nothing like puzzling out the time in base 2 to give you a sense of accomplishment and self-worth when you’re otherwise frustrated with the latest design argument or bug :-)
My first impulse would be to shake it real hard to end up with a bunch of lovely colored bubbles. Yes I have issues.
The liquids in your clock have different specific gravity (density).
Yeah, but they all taste the same…
Mmmmmmmmm…Chronologistic.
how do you read it?
