This is a fun and amusing gift from my wife. A novelty clock with different liquids with differing weights. You can rotate the clear section and watch the liquids change places like an hourglass.
Cool.
Project Octant
A programming project where I set out to make a Minecraft-style world so I can experiment with Octree data.
Charging More for a Worse Product
No, game prices don't "need" to go up. That's not how supply and demand works. Instead, the publishers need to be smarter about where they spend their money.
Spoiler Warning
A video Let's Play series I collaborated on from 2009 to 2017.
Grand Theft Auto Retrospective
This series began as a cheap little 2D overhead game and grew into the most profitable entertainment product ever made. I have a love / hate relationship with the series.
Artless in Alderaan
People were so worried about the boring gameplay of The Old Republic they overlooked just how boring and amateur the art is.
That is cool. I got a time piece, too.

It’s pretty cool, except that you have to press the button on it to get it to light up, so you need both hands free to see what time it is. My three year-old loves it. He counts the number of lights lit up and tells me it’s howevermanythatis o’clock. Very cute.
A friend/former co-worker of mine has a similar binary desk clock:

When I first saw it, it took me a few seconds to realize what it was. Definitely a very cool toy. Jeremiah was able to read it just by glancing at it; for the rest of us, who didn’t use it every day, it was a nice bit of mental distraction. Nothing like puzzling out the time in base 2 to give you a sense of accomplishment and self-worth when you’re otherwise frustrated with the latest design argument or bug :-)
My first impulse would be to shake it real hard to end up with a bunch of lovely colored bubbles. Yes I have issues.
The liquids in your clock have different specific gravity (density).
Yeah, but they all taste the same…
Mmmmmmmmm…Chronologistic.
how do you read it?
