Hey DrTebi,

I have been meaning to add my two cents worth. I like your clock!

It reminds me of a thought I had had a year or so ago when the topics of
clocks came up here:

there was a sort of golden age of timepieces that seems to have emerged in
Europe in the period leading up to and including the industrial revolution.
Gears and gadgets and sounds and rumbling robotic animations, all
celebrating both our technology and our curious human relationship with
time! Time: one of the intrinsically most observable but least measurable
entities in physics. This of course got me thinking about the digital age
and our persistent fascination with the odd tension between the digital and
the analogue (waves and particles, discrete and continuous, left brain/right
brain... that sort of stuff). Well here we are in the midst of a new
Renaissance (the first one was ushered in with plagues, and wars and all
manner of trouble), and it seems a good time to invent new kinds of
timepieces!

And of course SVG lends itself to the prototyping of all sorts of timepieces
that have never yet been built.

How about we have a Friendly Little Intermittent Clockfest!? A FLIC, or
simply a Clockfest. Let's invite people to submit all manner of strange,
funny, artful and X* clocks all out of SVG (and CSS and SMIL and JavaScript
of course).  Maybe we could post a little collection of links to all of them
on PlanetSVG?

More? I am sure they are out there!
David

* let X stand for any interesting adjective.

I don't mind if you make a widget out of it, it would be nice if you
give me some credit somewhere though...

What kind of widget are you talking about, and what do you use to
program it? Just curious.

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of
life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be
enthusiastic about. - Charles Kingsley
