Will January ever end?

...apparently not, going by the clock in my shop tonight.

analog vs digital 

how about an  analog output with a digital driver, the best of both worlds,

what happened to the days when you could back date your computer so your free 30 day trial software would last forever?

Many many years ago I had an idea for a 'friendly clock'. It would be easy to implement these days with a micro and an LCD. It tells the time in words the way one human would tell another the time if asked. So, for example it would show, 'nearly ten past eight', or just gone a quarter to three' or 'exactly four o'clock' and so on.

Cheers

They exist!  http://www.timeanddate.com/wordclock/

Physical commercial ones are basic, accurate to five minutes or so, but there are some great DIY builds out there too.
