Clocks have had the same general design and means of telling time for centuries. Sure they’ve progressed technologically from say a sun dial to a digital clock that displays numbers, but the overall concept is the same. Also true, attempts to radically change the way time is displayed such as some clocks which show the time in binary or with some other creative combination of fancy shapes and or characters are often hard to decipher.
The Word Clock however is actually fairly easy to glean the necessary information from. The designer and creator was inspired after seeing a similar clock on an industrial design website and decided to try his own hand at home made geekery. This clock will certainly test your geeky skills as you’re going to have to get your hands dirty. If you don’t have 120 LED’s laying around the house, you might want to start there. Other things to brush up on would be your etching skills, and knowledge of circuit boards and other things geek. Hey, actually being a geek isn’t for the faint of heart.
