Hacked Together Clock Displays Time With Light, Shows Night and Day Across the World

Justin Shaw wanted a clock that displayed the time across the world in light patterns instead of boring numbers. I can only imagine that upon finding that they exist but cost thousands of dollars and look pretty lame, he was appalled, or maybe just strapped for cash. Whatever the case, using a Wise Clock, a world map overlay, and technological wizardry, he whipped up his own version that does its job quite competently. As the clock shows the passage of night across the globe, it even accounts for seasonal changes and illustrates the strange day-night cycles of the poles. Wouldn’t mind having one of these for myself.
