A shame that the fastest-moving value is placed in the portion of the spectrum where we have the least colour sensitivity. I'd have put hours in blue, myself. If I'd thought of it.

http://davidlynch.org/toys/colorclock/#hms http://davidlynch.org/toys/colorclock/#smh http://davidlynch.org/toys/colorclock/#mhs Or any other order, really.

That's rather nice.

Awesome idea. I took some time to rewrite in HTML5: http://brisy.info/colors/ Though the colours I'm getting are different. I wonder why.

This seemed like a fun idea: Here's my remix of it, a bit more HTML5-ish: http://labs.flog.co.nz/clock/

And by HTML5 I mean HTML5+CSS3

The state of the art for custom geek clocks is in hardware AFAIC.

RGB LED color clock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKT-0qB9l8A&feature=relat...

I also enjoy the classic 'pong clocks' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHxbknBYYAQ&feature=playe...

Clocks are a common beginner project in DIY hardware, they are both simple to make and have good potential for adding stuff like RSS readers and so on when you want to branch out.
