Analogy by Jesson Yip

I like it. Now, how to get that as my desktop?

I like it. You can even see when its 'twenty to three' for example.

You could use Safari's webclip thing to make a dashboard widget out of it.

It's a nice clock.

Pleasant to watch, I can't wait for a widget or standalone app.

I may spend the afternoon gazing at it.

That is definitely something to gaze at while doing absolutely nothing else. Very cool. The site says "screensaver widget coming soon", but there's not date associated with the page (other than the copyright date). I wonder when "soon" will be...

You could do a web clipping of it but yes, a widget would be nice. MAybe something for the iphone as well.

I got bored with it after a few seconds. Yes, I timed it.

That is pretty awesome, I like. I'll have to keep an eye out for the screensaver.

Wow, I came up with something extremely similar for a college flash project a few years ago. I admit this one is classier though.

My programming project was a simple analog clock that updated the minute and hour hands as the second hand swept along. I was proud of it, but that was 15 years ago. It was written in C and used the GKS graphics libraries to get the screen drawn. Obviously times have changed.
