Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Clever World Clock
Gizmodo pointed me at this clever world clock. It has no numbers on the face or am/pm indicator, so by just rotating the whole clock around you can change where it's telling the time of. So it's cylinder shaped and you rotate it until your desired location is pointing up. At $75 it seems way overpriced, but it is a good design.

Nice, but I don't like not having a minute hand.
Interesting, hadn't noticed. The second hand was deceptive. :) I agree, but it might be something I could get used to.
Let the good time roll.
Is there no minute hand, or no hour hand? I don't get it. Do you have to rotate the clock once a minute to know what minute it's on?
And the fact that it won't dock with my iPod toilet dispenser makes it pretty useless to me :-)
