This is my Robot #1 because it's the very first one I ever bought which started my AWESOME collection. I think I bought him between 1990 and 1994.
This clock is located in the interior facade of the Main Gatehouse. It is an early example of a post-Copernican astronomical clock. The clock shows the time of day, the phases of the moon, the month, which quarter of the year we're in, the date, the sun and even the star sign.
Hampton Court Palace is a former English royal palace in the East Molesey, Surrey, England upstream from Central London along the Thames River. It is one of two surviving palaces out of the many owned by King Henry VIII.
Thomas Wolsey, then Archbishop of York and Chief Minister to the King, took over the lease in 1514 and rebuilt the 14th century manor house over the next seven years (1515–1521) to form the present palace. The palace was appropriated by Wolsey's master, Henry VIII, in about 1525. During the reign of William and Mary, half the Tudor palace was replaced in a project that lasted from 1689–1694. New wings surrounding the Fountain Court were added, designed by Sir Christopher Wren. From the reign of George III in 1760, monarchs tended to favour other London homes, and Hampton Court ceased to be a royal residence. In 1838, Queen Victoria completed the restoration and opened the palace to the public.
Clock in York Minster. Apparently dates from the eighteenth century and the figures are Gog and Magog. Looked quite good in raking March sunlight at almost twenty five past two
The Chronophage devours us all, and all our works. The best you can hope for is to stay ahead of those clacking, smacking jaws for a while. Turns out the Corpus Clock at Corpus Christi College in Cambridge, England has a lot more depth to it than I could imagine, hurrying past in the rain and looking for the train station; but Wikipedia tells it better than I can: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_Clock (desktop/laptop) or en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_Clock (mobile).

Another 600 pager...Written in 92, this is a bit like a book version of The Wire - though a decade before that series existed. It looks at a lot of the same issues of drugs in US cities and the impact it has on those in the communities. Its very much plot and character driven and looks at the dynamics between drug dealers, the community and the police in a fictional part of New Jersey. A well worked plot and pacy story, bearing in mind the length of it, this is well written stuff and very much recommended.
It has made me very intrigued about the film. I really like a lot of Spike Lee's stuff, but never got round to watching Clockers....a cheap DVD purchase coming up I think. A couple of the actors from Clockers also appeared in The Wire...which should be suitably confusing.
