WIN!
TOTAL WIN!
Nice, but it would lose accuracy after a month or so.
They thought of that, you move the finger.
But where’s the calendar along the vertical line that the finger traverses, so that you know where to put it on which day?
other end of the string?
You did not understand all or part of the phrase “along the vertical line.”
Maybe the other end of the string has calendar marks that line up to whatever its connected to rather than pull it all the way up and move the finger. Just pull the string an inch.
I have no idea how this all works.
Hey this is my office! My officemates and I made this. I posted this picture on reddit the other day; glad to see it’s making its internet rounds.
Moving the window for DST changes must be a pain. Did you tap it for the Japanese 1.6 microsecond?
what that in the bottom right corner “fun with s…”?
sun
“symmetry”
I don’t get it. Does the hand move? If so, what moves it? And what’s the yellow thing in the middle of the image?
The hand doesn’t move. It gets adjusted on a weekly basis.
The yellow thing is a post it note that says “pm (obviously) EST (obv obv)”
You know how the sun changes positions throughout the day? Well that changes the angle at which light comes through the window, thus changing what number the hand points to
Wait, how does this work? It’s showing all the times. heh
Try staring at it 12 hours non-stop and maybe you’ll figure out.
It works like magnets and rainbows work.
I love it! I’m going to make one in the window of my home office.
this is funny
)
Really impressive. Must be a creative office.
So…..got any jobs open?
It really is.. we get to wear jeans!
sadly- a solar powered watch is more practical- but you can’t put a post-it appointment reminder on it very well. Now excuse me while I work on hooking the hand to my desk calendar Rolodex-

Our Power Went Out!
NOOOOOOOOOO!
That is quite awesome.
Is it painted on the window with white out?
Dry erase marker
I take it you don’t get to go home on cloudy days? You wouldn’t know when to clock out…
Would moving the finger up and down compensate for the change of the duration of the (light) day through out the year? This is probably different depending on where you are on the globe but round where I live(45 degrees northern latitude) the duration between sunrise and sunset varies from about 9 hours to 14 hours throughout the year. It seams to me that moving the hand would only modify the point of origin of the line and do nothing to the slope.
Anyways this is awesome!
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A THUNDERSTORM???????????????????
The end of time.
I would love to see someone put them on backwards, people would be like: “OMG time is going backwards!” lol.
For those that haven’t figured this out: The finger moves on a weekly basis to adjust for the days getting longer/shorter, the shadows of the numbers move with the sun. Guestimate what time it is by where the finger is pointing ;P
That is just freaking cool. I wonder if it has an alarm symbol (((O))) and built in thermometer?
(((O))) am pm lap -C|.
For those of you looking for accuracy…DON’T USE A SUNDIAL! Sheesh, it’s funny and clever, not atomic…though it would be cool to see one done with words rather than numbers. Kind of like the LED word clock.
I see the afternoon as going something like this; lunch, siesta, snack, look busy, afternoon coffee, bathroom break, not-quite-almost-time-to-leave, almost-time-to-leave, go home!
^ i like your logic.
time just flies…right out the window…and right in your parked car
