Comment on The Life and Death of the Bulbdial Clock

Comments

Cool idea, but if you are going to use lights to cast shadows to (in some way) replicate a sundial, then use a 24-hour face ffs. The 12-hour analogue clockface is a dumb abstraction to get stuck on if you are going to the trouble of re-imagining how to build a clock.

Also, sundials don't suck.
