Clock radios fascinate me. For a technology item, people hold on to them much longer than anything else I can think of. I mean, when is the last time you've heard of someone say, "Man, I really should upgrade my clock radio?"

The laptop had some problems. The keyboard had some kind of error, so I swapped it out. The battery that maintains the clock had long since died, so I replaced that. I removed the main battery and soldered wires to get out-of-the-frame access to the on/off switch. I also brought the backup battery outside the case because I wasn't sure if I'd get a good match.
I was lucky to find PDF's online which detailed how to disassemble and repair IBM Thinkpads.

Among other things, the Astronomical Clock in Prague shows Old Bohemian Time, which was used in the Middle Ages.

Cottagey clock made from recyled packing foam and paper clay. This guy measures about 11 inches tall total. Time for fun!!!
This hour-striking clock with four dials was installed in 1904 in the New Market in Kirkgate Leeds by Wm Potts and Sons Leeds. The clock was designed by John and Joseph Leeming of London and cost £150. Gerald Balfour MP opened the market and the clock was set going by Alderman Knowles on 1 July 1904.
In Kirkgate Market it had an electric alarm which rang at 5.55, to warn the stall holders that closing time was imminent, and again at 6pm for close of business. The clock was serviced by an engineer who went up inside the tower, pushing up the trapdoor, which he then stood on to work on the clock. Sadly on one occasion, the engineer suffered a fatal electric shock and collapsed on the trap door which made recovery of his body very difficult.
In 1912 it was necessary to resite the market stalls to provide an entrance from Vicar Lane. The clock was removed and placed close to the entrance to Roundhay Park near the entry lodge. This building was demolished in 1937, leaving the clock alone.
In 1941 the movement was replaced by a synchronous drive and the original movement later installed in Leck Parish Church, near Kirkby Lonsdale in Lancashire. The Oakwood clock was restored in 1977.
The most impressive picture of the clock in its original site in Leeds Market is probably this engraving from "The Building News" in 1901:

Leodis carries a number of shots of the clock in the market and at Oakwood, including these:

Clocks by Coldplay. A Kaleidoscope of Neon.
I was asked by the President of Malta, George Abela to work on this project to raise money for the Malta Community Chest Fund. Musical Director, Sigmund Mifsud had already chosen and orchestrated a series of rock classics pieces to be played by the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra. The Rockestra show took place on the 12th September at the MFCC. Ticket sales were expected to be around 3,000 but I am very pleased to say that they sold out at 12,000. This is the largest indoor event ever held in Malta.
The evening included pieces by Coldplay, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, The Eagles and John Miles, so had a strong 70’s leaning and I wanted to reflect that in the imagery.
The local artists were The Riffs, Jotham Saliba, Claire Caruana, Alex Bezzina, Raquela, Neville Refalo, Daniel Cauchi, Ruben Zahra, Paul Borg Bonaci and DJ Owen.

Medieval Marketplace
Welcome to the third project of my little medieval town - Medieval Marketplace!
In my marketplace you can see a tall tower with an astronomical clock on one side (a copy of the Old Town Hall Tower) and ordinary clocks on the other.
On the same square, life is in full swing! Here you will see a butcher chopping a piece of meat for the next customer - an old astronomer in a luxurious hat, and a fish merchant. A prosperous merchant with all kinds of trinkets, living in a house near the tower and unloading all sorts of supplies from the cart. A baker just baked another pretzel in his bakery. Well and of course the guards keeping order. :)
The project also includes 10 minifigures:
a jester fireman,
two guards,
a merchant of some supplies,
a fish merchant,
a baker,
a butcher,
two peasants,
a horse
The second floor of the houses and the roofs are easily removed. The whole model is fully playable. The tower is empty inside.
I was inspired to create this project by my trip to Prague last summer. Initially, I planned to create a project only for the Astronomical Clock (Old Town Hall Tower), but having built the tower, I decided to slightly change it and add a market square to it - in the end it’s a fantasy! :)
Also, when building this project, I was inspired by such clock towers as The Zytglogge and Ledbury Clock Tower, and a set of lego castle 10193 medieval marketplace.
I hope you enjoyed

The upper circular component (an astrolbe or simple planetarium) was installed in 1410 and has run more-or-less continuously since then. There are several moving parts, including the outer zodiacal ring and symbols representing the sun and moon whose positions vary with the celestial locations of these bodies. Rumor has it that the craftsman who made this mechanism was blinded so that he could not replicate this invention in any other city. At the top, under the arched portico, a golden rooster crows three times at the conclusion of each hourly episode. On the hour, the two blue doors open to reveal the passage of two sets of 6 carved apostles, added in the 17th century. Four animated statues flank the astronomical clock; the two on the left represent Vanity and Greed, while the two on the right embody Death and Lust. (Prague: Old Town Hall: 19-21 May, 2017)
This hourglass of time is for a final project for school, please feel free to comment on this image. My first attempt at an hourglass, not sure how i feel about it.

I guess that's one way to hide an ugly building, and I'd love to rehabilitate the clock with LED backlighting and perhaps some interactivity.

So I am asked, "What's the picture of the clock for? Are you creating some sort of documentary of your life?" My response, "Yeah, something like that I suppose." Sheesh, I always thought I was just a simple camera nut, the question got me thinking, "just what is the goal here?"
...outside, outside the world, out there you don't here the echos and calls.
