This is a representation of my night last night. 10.30pm, went to bed, 2.30am awake for a short time, 3.50am awake for at least an hour, 7.30am alarm goes off!!
Pregnancy insomnia is a horrible thing. Whether its getting up to go to the loo or just being generally uncomfortable, I'm usually awake at least twice a night at the moment.
Tiredness and having to deal with a 2 year old during the day is not making things fun at the moment.
Thank goodness we have less than 7 weeks left (hopefully). Then it will be sleepless nights due to baby, but at least there is a purpose to that and its strangely easier to cope with..
I really hope I get some better ideas for this theme. Here is the clock on my coffee maker. It wasn't really the time reflected on the display here. For a look at how late I stayed up studying for my classes, just have a look-see at the exif data. (the hand by the three is the second hand)

My nixie tube clock protoboard. It's a combination of modern technology components and 1950 technology nixie tubes. I designed the display PCB and had it fabricated. The bottom side of the PCB contains 12 SMT transistors, 12 SMT resistors and 6 thru-hole resistors. The 6 nixie tubes are controlled via a multiplexed scheme. The control and high voltage generation circuitry on the breadboard will eventually be moved to a daughter PCB.

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.
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.

37/365 (1894)
A lovely day out with ianbartlett for a wander around Tunbridge Wells. I decided to look up and snap some of the clocks, for the 365 treasure hunt, number 22 "Clocks".
PS ... not all the clocks told the correct time!

The Spitz Jewelry Store was established on the Plaza in 1881, and a clock, without works, was placed in front of the store to advertise the wares offered. Near the turn of the century, this “clock” was replaced by a functioning sidewalk clock which stood until 1915, when it was knocked down by one of the first motor trucks in Santa Fe. The third Spitz clock, standing here, was purchased second-hand by Salamon Spitz in 1916 and was brought to Santa Fe from Kansas City. It stood in front of the Spitz Jewelry Store until the Plaza’s south portal was built in 1967. The clock was donated to the citizens of Santa Fe by Bernard Spitz, and was erected on this site in June of 1974.

Migration is a driver of globalization. Clocks in this store catering to immigrant shoppers reflect diverse homelands.

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.
The metronome clock art installation (apparently the hole in the middle aligns with the clock on the facade of Grand Central Station at the other end of Park Avenue.
With the Public Art Fund acting as a consultant, the developer Stephen M. Ross went through over 200 submissions before choosing “Metronome” by Kristin Jones and Andrew Ginzel. Installed in 1999, the $3 million dollar piece is meant to symbolize the intangibility of time.
The central component, measuring 100 feet high and 60 feet wide, is formed of an undulating brick wall emanating a dark circular void surrounded by gold leaf overlay that dissipates across the panel into gold fragments. Below, a massive rock juts out through the brick wall, and to the left on the glass façade, is a digital time piece which counts the twenty-four hours of the day while simultaneously subtracting the time remaining in the day. To the right, is the lunar timepiece, composed of a sphere set into a socket, which is synchronized to revolve with the phases of the moon.
