Great Moments on a Binary Clock
« on: May 11, 2009, 09:00:18 PM »

Ever just stare at your binary clock in awe?  Using your wonderful, nerdy clock in a more sovereign posture can yield great satisfaction.  There are some pretty awesome moments on a binary clock and I set out -- after not being able to find anything on this topic -- to illustrate just a few examples of my own.  Some are pictures, some are designs, and others are just great times in general.  Enjoy!

*Note: all times are in military time (6am = 06, 1pm = 13, midnight = 00, etc.)


UFO -- 02:59:52

'X' -- 09:52:59

Bouncy ball being bounced from the first digit of the hours -- 21:24:21

This could be a crown...or maybe a birthday cake -- 09:59:59

C'mere boy! -- 06:32:34

Elephant -- 16:47:47

Gorilla -- 12:57:47

A hockey stick?  A pitching wedge?  What about an inclined plane? -- 11:12:48

One of the greatest moments is the second right before midnight, when all the lights turn off -- 23:59:59

It's a little monkey in motion -- 12:57:49

This one is a stretch...I say it's a turret and my buddy said it's an alligator -- 19:53:37

Can you tell what this one is??  Hint: that moment that started this whole post... ;)  -- 16:20:00

There are almost literally an endless amount of others (60sec*60min*24hrs=86,400combinations) depending on how you interpret the display.  It's sort of like a game because you are bound by the rules of a binary clock (e.g. no '7' in the 3rd column).  I'm interested in seeing what other cool times people can come up with.  No need to include images, a time should suffice.  Be sure to indicate military time or am/pm.



Cheers!

Yep, he's obviously hoping to be put on Homo-Erotic A-Team Fanfic email newsletters.  I'm sure it was intentional.

 I guess he doesn't. Maybe he gets the deadtree mag already?
