Why say "over 280" when you could just say 288?
I have no idea, the title changed after I posted it and it was "288". It was also originally a "Show HN:" but someone removed it (maybe I was using it wrong, I don't know).
I'd love to see a version of this that didn't go through a "random" phase every few seconds. I'd love to see the actual transitions between the times. I think it would be more subtle, but more elegant. (You might be able to add seconds display to the clock if you wanted it to be more active.)
I was indeed afraid that it would look too static without using "random" phases. Using seconds would be great (I could try to make them look smaller too). Looking at my source of inspiration ( http://www.humanssince1982.com/a-million-times/ ) you can see that the random phases are way prettier than mine. But it would make the code uglier with a lot of "setTimeout"s, and I wanted to keep it clean.
Also on the clock front, can you change it to segment the array into different digits. Then just do a full right hand rotation of the clocks in that segment untill they get to their correct possition?
So if you have to update the single minute digit only those clocks spin and they only spin to the right untill they fall into their correct possition. If you needed to update hours and minutes then all of the clocks would rotate to the right untill they fall into position.
Would be faster and I think it may look cool.
It takes about 15 seconds for the clock to cycle. Only three of these seconds are spent actually showing the time. So if I want to know the time I need to sit and wait typically about 10 seconds before I'll know what time it is. It's cool, but it's upside down. It needs to be a clock first, then cool.
Those aren't analog clocks. Analog clocks don't have a state where both hands of the clock are horizontal, or where one is pointing south and the other pointing east or west.

Meanwhile, this person did a digital clock out of Conway's Life: http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/88783/build-a-di...
