I'm buyin' me some Star Trek DVDs, and getting Nicholas Meyer (director of II and VI) to sign 'em. There might be some dinner involved, and possibly a concert out that way if people are up for it. Probably not, though - birthdays shouldn't fall midweek if they can help it.
Mixed feelings on that. I'm morally opposed to the old-style analog clocks, or at least continuing to have only those in public schools. I think if it's read as numbers, it should be displayed as numbers. Let the old standard die already.
This would fall under that same category - why obfuscate what's supposed to be simple? But, I'm torn on it, because that clock is probably the coolest thing I've ever seen.
My wife got me one of those (the silver one) for Christmas. Yous assessment of its degree of coolnesss is correct, even if it does make me think every time I look at it. (If I want to know the time without thinking, there are plenty of regular digital clocks around.

Or maybe, rather than question the beauty of God's design, I should just acknowledge that thumbs aren't fingers.
But I can't accept that. They're significant digits!
I'll stop now.
I'm another day closer to death. It's actually a bad thing. =)
if anything, light a candle, make a wish and blow it out :)

I may have to own it in both colors.
Big smiles and stuff.
