World Clock Project

The World Clock Project is collecting images of public clock faces showing each minute of the day. My submission is 9:33, shown above first in on the second row.
Because it’s great fun to look at pictures of clocks from around the world. And aside from telling us the time, these pictures of unfamiliar clocks take us to a different place and remind us of the vastness of the world.
Upon collecting all minutes of the day they intend to create a “digital picture clock”. Upload a picture of some missing time to help out.
listening to a sign

At the recommendation of a friend, who questioned the very idea that someone would plug their headphones in to a sign, I did just that. The experience was, as you might guess, pretty stupid. This particular sign was in the 42nd street A/C/E Station, where I stood about a foot away from the ad to which I was tethered and listened to a few moments of John Legend. I can’t even say I remember much of the music though I am pretty sure I hated it, but to be fair the experience wasn’t helping. When I pushed my unprotected headphone plug into this skanky 42nd Street subway sign the music was already playing, I had arrived mid song. Maybe I should have waited until the song (or songs?!) looped but the draw of standing uncomfortably close to a sign, listening to new music and thinking that this was supposed to sell me a compact disc was less than strong. I unplugged from the high-tech billboard, thinking of the marketing people convincing themselves that this idea was totally awesome.
24 hours in a day

I like 24 hour timekeeping. It makes quite a bit of sense, as evidenced by its use by highly precision oriented organizations such as the military and the railways . They also work particularily well in locations where there is not a good sense of night and day, such as in submarines and in mines as well as in situations where you have multiple “day-night” cycles per 24 hour period, in space.
