I'm building a binary clock, here's the prototype on breadboard. It's also reversed (bits are left to right rather than right to left) and going faster than it will when it's done. The pot on the left controls the speed (that's my astable timer.)
I should also give credit for the design (which is not mine) to John Hall (no relation) who runs the Unofficial Gimp FAQ. His clock uses AC frequency and a bridge rectifier to generate the clock pulse. That was part of my clock originally but then I had 5 or 6 555ne timers in the ol bug box so I decided to put one to good use.
Kern's Clock (1933), corner of Gratiot and Woodward, Detroit MI. [Built for Kern's Department Store which once stood at this corner. Kern's sold the store in 1957 and ceased operations in 1959; when the building was torn down in 1966, the clock was placed in storage until the 1970s. It was placed in storage again in 1998 for the construction of the Compuware Bldg., and restored to its current site in 2003.]
Nothing like seeing signs that say "Beware of Snakes" to make you feel super comfortable sitting in the grass. Oh well.

Clock radio for the computer age. The bottom had a sticker that said "REF. No. 78 04", which I believe is a date code for Apr 1978 manufacture. Brookwood Model No. 7002
Dandelions are thought to have evolved about 30 million years ago in Eurasia. Fossil seeds of Taraxacum tanaiticum have been recorded from the Pliocene of southern Russia. Dandelions have been used by humans for food and as a herb for much of recorded history. "They were well known to ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, and have been used in Chinese traditional medicine for over a thousand years. Dandelions probably arrived in North America on the Mayflower – not as stowaways, but brought on purpose for their medicinal benefits," according to the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association.
The English name, dandelion, is a corruption of the French dent de lion meaning "lion's tooth", referring to the coarsely toothed leaves. The plant is also known as blowball, cankerwort, doon-head-clock, witch's gowan, milk witch, lion's-tooth, yellow-gowan, Irish daisy, monks-head, priest's-crown, and puff-ball; other common names include faceclock, pee-a-bed, wet-a-bed, swine's snout, white endive, and wild endive.
The flower clock at Las Colinas measures 37 feet diagonally. The berm, constructed from 15,000 cubic yards of earthen materials is inclined at a 27-degree slope for legibility at both near and far distances. The flowers are changed four times a year to provide a constant array of color.
It's located at the intersection of John W. Carpenter Freeway (State Highway 114) and O'Connor Boulevard at Irving in Texas.
This is a picture I have to give credit for. I was looking through the "24 Hours of Flickr" photo pool when I came across this lovely little composition of matchsticks by Nadiobolis. For some reason (possibly my recent poem about time ...) it made me think of clocks, and given what time it happened to be, this is the image that came out.
