About Time Clock: The Clock of the Short Now

About Time Clock: Kinda Accurate
This is a really nice solution. If you know me, you know that I prefer my art off the walls. I like things that do something other than look pretty. Or things that look pretty while doing something. This not only looks pretty and does something, but it seems really thoguhtful too.
After working for The Long Now Foundation I think about time and our perception of it in an entirely different way. For those of you who've never heard of them, they're responsible for the Clock of the Long Now, it chimes every millenium, and is made to work for 10,000 years. The point is not that it is keeping time (though it does, and very accurately) but that it reminds us that time is keeping us.
This clock reminds me of that that too, and it is much appreciated.
