Your readers might also be interested in a clock I've recently produced, which provides spatial perspective on one's position within the current year, month, week, day, hour and minute. Future versions will attempt to improve that sense of temporal context by removing the discontinuities introduced by the boundaries between years, months, etc., but the current version, I believe, is already interesting. Note that the clock is based on the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) standard, and therefore scales cleanly to arbitrary size. I recommend opening it in a separate window, and making that window as large as possible. The “Analogy” clock is a very attractive piece of work.
