This "Industrious Clock" is very cool, but I get tired just watching that poor guy scribble and erase, scribble and erase.

[The design and concept are great, but the visual end product threatens to drive me crazy after about a minute.]

This other clock would also be very cool to have on one's screen, if it would just sit still.

I saw this on pity's journal and decided to give it a try. The results made me smile. Emotionally distant, moi?
