Make Your Own Animated Pong Clock
By Chris Scott Barr While not the first video game in existence, Pong was the first widely-successful video game and is responsible for kick-starting the video game industry. It’s natural to want to pay homage to this gaming legacy in a variety of ways. We’ve seen a few Pong clocks in the past, but this…

DIY Project Brings Harry Potter Clock To Life
By Chris Scott Barr Back before the whole world went nuts about Twilight there was another set of books/movies which drove tweens wild. I am of course speaking of Harry Potter. Sure, there are still a pair of movies to be released, but I’d say the excitement has died down considerably. That didn’t stop one…

Would You Pay $2,300 For This Clock?
By Chris Scott Barr How many ways can one create a simple clock? It would seem that the possibilities are quite endless.

TaskWatch Whiteboard Clock
By Andrew Liszewski Here’s more proof that a useful gadget doesn’t necessarily have to be high-tech. The TaskWatch Whiteboard from Art. Lebedev Studio (yes, the same people who make the Optimus Maximus keyboard) is basically your standard whiteboard but with the addition of a traditional analog clock in the center.

CYBER Gadget Wii Sensor Bar Loses The Wire, Gains A Clock
By Andrew Liszewski Like the 360 and the PS3, the Wii managed to finally lose the wires when it came to the controllers. (Well, most of them.) But unfortunately the stock sensor bar was still tethered to the console with an annoying cable. Not surprisingly, third-party wireless replacements were soon available like this one from…

Time Tracker Visual Timer & Clock For Kids
By Andrew Liszewski I feel sorry for the kid who gets stuck practicing the trumpet alongside this thing. Not only are they forced to learn an instrument, but they’re also being forced to learn time management skills. Goodbye childhood, hello paper route. Of course through the eyes of a parent, the Time Tracker probably seems…
