A large clock in downtown Chesapeake City, MD. Probably the only thing I miss about living in a small town is a close-knit downtown like this.
Saw this clock, brand new and shiny, in a shop. It reminded me of a very old clock somewhere I’d seen sometime, so I attempted to replicate the state of the old one using Snapseed.
The completed clock with hands attached.
The clock is composed of two servos, an Arduino, and an ethernet module. The clock updates every fifteen minutes by checking the Environment Canada website and updates the hands accordingly.

RESTORE!! (This was one of my New Year's "guidelines," to restore or repair old things and make them new again). I took an old clock that I have had since about 1967 and made it over into something quite different. It might be gaudy for some, but I like how it matches the multi-colored frames on my nightstand now.
Basically I cleaned up the old hardware and scraped old glue, then painted the wood parts of the clock gold. I then attached glass crystals in various sizes and colors to make something that looks like it could come from the thieves' cave that Ali Baba visits (or so I tell myself).
While I did this I watched the uncut version of 1954's "The Egyptian," directed by Michael Curtiz. OMG what a long and melodramatic movie!!! I saw it years ago but I had forgotten most of it.
Mon premier MOC !
L'Horloge indique les secondes, minutes et heures.
Le Coucou ( un perroquet lol ) est réglée pour se déclancher une fois par heure.
Par manque de pièces, elle n'a pas encore une grande autonomie, mais dure plusieurs minutes.

My first MOC !
The clock indicates the seconds, minutes and hours.
The Cuckoo ( a parrot lol ) is set to trigger once per hour.
For lack of parts, it still lacks a lot of autonomy, but lasts for several minutes.
I guess an english class was here the night before. This is my math classroom.
I'm still trying to figure out the stick figures.
And yup, no clock watching in that class1
This photograph of the clock was taken on one of the cannon cameras. The photograph is apart of the shutter speed challenge from Photography One.The photograph was edited by adjusting the levels, cropping the image, and the photograph was taken at a 2 second shutter speed. Additionally, the photograph was enhanced by Burns. The reason why this is one of the better one of my photographs is that I enjoy the high metallic shin against the cool toned white wall, I also enjoy the "wave-like" shutter speed of the seconds hand, and I enjoy the enhancement of the hands on the clock through editing.
New approach to the S2 clock project in evidence here.
So far the brief/analysis/specification pages are produced in much the same way as ever. The radical shift is in the generation of ideas approach. Here we borrowed an idea outlined in Kurt Rowland's 1968 book "The Shapes We Need". Amongst other things Rowland explores spatial relationships and really gets to the heart of aesthetics and visual beauty. Some things just look right and others don't. Why is this? Rowland seems to have a some good theories about this. This book was part of a series he released in the late 60's. I understand these textbooks were standard issue in Glasgow Secondary Schools Art Departments at the time. I don't know of any art teachers that used them much apart from my mother. Anyway this little card based exercise suited our purposes perfectly.
The current S2 course has seeen alot of changes over the last five years. We'll distribute the cours notes on the S2 Course page at: designandtechnologydepartment.co.uk in due course.

Back in the breaker box, The Energy Detective takes power readings and transmits them over the mains. In the clock, an analog filter/amplifier isolates these RF signals from the incoming AC power. An AVR microcontroller does further filtering, decodes the packets, and generates clock ticks.

Artist Bio: William Mortenson, (1897-1965) lived a quiet and secretive life but made quiet the impact on the art community, especially in the world of photography. Joseph Bellows Gallery described his art as combining "the notions of classical art and literature with the allure and phantasm of Hollywood." Mortensen had a studio in Laguna beach California and often made his living taking photos of Hollywood stars including Fay Wray, Cecil B. deMille and Marlene Dietrich. He later took promotional photos for L.A Sunday Times creating dramatic scenes with actors in costume. He was a master of lighting and wrote manuals on the subject along with the problems of posing. His developing techniques were unique and his alternative process often included manipulating his photos with razor blades or carbon pencils. His photos tended to be more adorned and dramatic challenging the concepts of the up and coming "purest" movement of the time. Many regarded Mortensen as the enemy of photography, treating his photos as a threat (perhaps to common sense), and excluded him from the elitist art communities. His photography fell out of favor with the masses and his career slipped away. Nude with Clock is one of many studio pictures taken by Mortensen. This image with the over sized clock and the woman stretching luxuriously reminds me of a combination between Salvador Dali and a Hollywood stage setting. The subject matter is both whimsical and bizarre.
