That "full screen" button in the top-right. Or, at least, that's the only thing I see there that you can't do with HTML/JS.
You can actually, F11
Not in Safari. It doesn't have fullscreen.

Re: The Colour Clock
#73Awesome idea. I took some time to rewrite in HTML5: http://brisy.info/colors/ Though the colours I'm getting are different. I wonder why.
maybe they literally encode 9:27:40 as #092740
edit: definitely not, but I think there's a gradient overlay, which is causing the colors to appear brighter in the center.

#74Very similar to the Chromo http://prote.in/chromo colour clock, which has been around for a few years.
Re: The Colour Clock
#75Jim Blandy wrote a similar program for X Windows around 1992: a beautiful color clock that would sit on your desktop's root windown and slowly cycle through the colors over the course of an hour. It didn't even show digits -- you just had to learn the colors :-). I think it depended on X supporting writeable color cells, though, so it would need to be rewritten to work on most modern systems (which generally seem to not be set up that way).

#76I wonder how well the color blind can detect second to second changes in hue? Not a complaint, just a genuine curiosity. Any color blind out there care to comment?
I'm red-green colour blind but have difficulty in describing colours in general (I see them and know what they are but sometimes (and especially if they're under a coloured light) I can't specifically say what colour a wall is, for example). This is quite interesting as I can't really see second-by-second changes; at most I can see small jumps (not the radically large ones) you get every few seconds.
I'm not color blind, yet that is what I see, too. Makes me wonder about the brain's color-processing. My guess is small variations are ignored by the brain because slightly changing light conditions can cause all colors to vary slightly over time. Your brain filters them out so you can only tell when something really is changing.

Last year I re-made it as a free iOS app which takes the time and converts it using a RGB>HEX function I found that I think is correct:

I also made one that sets Hour, Minute to latitude,longitude in Google maps which I like looking at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/time-as-place/id336539483?mt=...

Re: The Colour Clock
#80It would be nice if the colour was meaningful, i.e. if one could, at least roughly, guess the time based on the colour. Say, that the brightness would reflect time of day (brightest at noon, darkest at midnight) and the hue the time within the hour.
