Lots of excitement every hour, such as little dancing pirates and skeletons and whatnot.
Stained glass mosaic clock on a recycled glass piece that was part of a light fixture in its previous life.
Glass is shaded from pale bright green to black and, to compliment this, a special grouting technique was used that also shades from pale green to deep green/black. See my blog post for more information and pictures of this clock being grouted: mosaicsmith.blogspot.com/2012/01/more-shading-grout-in-mo...

太口耐的小闹钟，兔子都能一掌握住，听着久违的滴嗒声，仿佛世界都平静了下来
INSTRUCTIONS OF DIAMOND BRAND ALARM CLOCK
1. Time winding: turn the key in the direction of the arrow.Wind up fully in every 24 hours, and the clock will run 36 hours sequentially.
2. Setting time: turn the knob in the direction of the arrow to the time desired. If it is necessary to turn the minute hand counterclock wise while it is over the standard time,it is essential first to turn it back five minutes less than the time desired, then to set it to the correct time.
3. Setting alarm: turn the knob in the direction of the arrow. Turn the alarm dial (or the alarm hand) to the time desired. The alarm time will show up in alignment with the alarm mark on the clock dial.
4. Alarm winding: turn the key in the direction of the arrow. Wind up fully for maximum sequent alarm duration. Note: When turning the alarm key, the alarm "stop" button will automatically set ou.For the double bell alarm clock, it is necessary to turm the moving end of the alarm shutter to the right.
5. Stopping alarm: (a) for the double bell alarm clock, switch the alarm shutter on the top of the clock to the left; (b) for the other alarm clocks, push the alarm "stop" button in.
6. Regulating time: if slow, move the regulator toward the left "+"; if fast, move the regulator to the right "-". To move one graduation on the scale will function about 6 minutes.

Clocks I made for my Architecture of Objects Course. Inspired by Art Deco style desk clocks from the 1920's - 30's
They had a nice clock tower in Jodhpur. It's strange, but I never did notice whether it actually kept the correct time or not. As a betting man, I would have bet that the time on it was wrong, but, again, I didn't notice. What I did notice was the bustling market in the area surrounding the clock tower. There was enough there to easily keep me busy for a full day. Plus, it was located right down the street from my hotel, making it an easy stop on the way to the hotel. It was always easier to tell the tuk-tuk driver "clock tower" than Yogi's Guesthouse.
Here I've added the driver transistors and their base resistors.
Soldering these little guys is actually kind of fun. I used to fear the surface-mount components, and still do with some of the really tiny stuff, but overall it's easier than soldering the through-hole components and requires a lot less drilling. The biggest hurdle is that you pretty much have to make a printed circuit board to use them (though I have seen projects by some brave souls who wire them point-to-point).
I mean, I managed to solder these 26 transistors this morning while my hands were really shaky - I shouldn't take stuff like this on until after I've eaten breakfast, I guess.
I use the trick recommended on this page (in the white box toward the bottom) except I use tweezers. Melt a tiny blob of solder on one pad, then take the component up in the tweezers and press the appropriate lead onto the solder blob and re-melt it. That tacks the part in place and you can then solder the other leads really easily.
Once again, I've mostly blobbily oversoldered, but I can live with it.
I've got a few beachy photos to be posted soon, so don't give up on me yet!

I don't have a good shot of the fully-opened flower yet, but you can see it here (drora's photostream):

The flowers of this very interesting plant, Capparis spinosa, are starting to open in the afternoon (shown here). Only half an hour before dusk they are fully opened and are visited by bees. In the night, their white color and pleasant smell attracts Hawk moths. The flowers last only till the next afternoon, and after 24 hours, they wither.
The stems of Capparis spinosa are covered with curved thorns, bent inwards. It’s easy to put your hand inside, but make yourself a stock of plasters ready if you wish to pull it out…
The unopened buds are very good as pickles! I did it myself, they are very good :-)
