Speaking of nice typographic clocks have you ever come across FLIQLO? It's a free flip-style "pata-pata" screensaver clock. I have had it on my home computer for ages and it still brings me comfort.

Darn nice!

My favorites so far are 1:00 and 7:11.

Thanks for the treat.

No. It changes once a minute.

If you think about it, coming up with a unique image for every second would be a staggering task. It repeats the images every twelve hours, but even so, that would mean taking 43200 photos. The clock as it is uses 720. That’s still a big job if you ask me.

Plus, by changing only once a minute, it gives you time to appreciate the photos.

Does it show a different pic for each second?

Foiled again! How is it that one can expose oneself as a non-mac user so regularly and so thoroughly. Damn cute little icons. Nice clock, worth the embarrassment.

Whoops. I think you missed something G. You click on the old-school MacOS icon for the Mac instructions.

i love that it says, “mac users see special instructions below,” and then there aren’t any, but it has the windows instructions twice.

I have this running, it’s very arty cool. Bit distracting as my eye notices the image change while i’m working. Though I have dual monitors at work so it’s always visible

It also makes me think of the Industrious Clock at yugop.com (which I now realize did the amaztype thing I wrote about here recently).
