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.

The Biggest Game Ever
Just how big IS No Man's Sky? What if you made a map of all of its landmass? How big would it be?
Trekrospective
A look back at Star Trek, from the Original Series to the Abrams Reboot.
Project Button Masher
I teach myself music composition by imitating the style of various videogame soundtracks. How did it turn out? Listen for yourself.
The Mistakes DOOM Didn't Make
How did this game avoid all the usual stupidity that ruins remakes of classic titles?
A Lack of Vision and Leadership
People fault EA for being greedy, but their real sin is just how terrible they are at it.
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?
