    Nice work! Getting the moon info is a challenge, isn't it? My first sun clock was written in C++ in the 1990s. I decided to stick with a 12-hour clockface mainly because people are…

    Tip, you can rotate and zoom the steampunk clock - try zooming in on the gears! Click the "Show interface" at lower left to see all the options or switch clocks.

    Check out https://www.steampunkclock.com - a concept inspired by a drawing toy called a spirograph. I originally coded it in c# over 10 years ago, but was able to port to the web v…

    If you happen to have an old or spare iPad or tablet, you can open my mobius clock page in a browser and set it on a shelf (plugged in of course). Kind of like a weird wall clock..…

    Just added a new feature: a 'Fast Mode' button to temporarily speed up the hands, which helps visualize how the slow-moving parts work, how the hour indicator moves along the edge.…

    Check out my project at https://www.MobiusClock.com : A 3D WebGL Clock on a Möbius Strip that shows 24hr time on a 12hr face. The hour indicator follows the edge of the strip, thus…

    I created a Weird Clock that shows the local sunrise and sunset within a conventional 12-hour clock face. This normally would only work on a 24-hour clock face, which is kind of un…

    Ultra HDR - I predict it will cause a revolution in photography. This isn't the old HDR that was all about capturing a wider range of brightness; it refers to display of a wider ra…

    Focusing on doing something is like having a goal, which is known to be good for mental health. It's OK if the goal changes from time to time. There's a really great book about how…
